It's not that long ago that a significant fraction of people worked on farms and did what they wanted.

It's not that long ago that workers discussed so much politics that they got together and had shootouts with their employers.

Up until 1860 or so, most people across the world were working on farms. And most of those people were at best sharecroppers, if not serfs or slaves. Something tells me there wasn't a lot of freedom going around :-)
