This anti-manufacturing thread reminds me of :

in "The coming revolution", Ted Kaczynski outlined what he saw as the new Luddists' "new values that will free them from the yoke of the present technoindustrial system":

Rejection of all modern technology -- "This is logically necessary, because modern technology is a whole in which all parts are interconnected; you can’t get rid of the bad parts without also giving up those parts that seem good."

Rejection of materialism and its replacement with a conception of life that values moderation and self-sufficiency while deprecating the acquisition of property or of status.

Love and reverence toward nature, or even worship of nature

Punishment of those responsible for the present situation. "Scientists, engineers, corporation executives, politicians, and so forth..."
