As I recall, the Luddites were reacting to the replacement of their jobs with industrialized low-cost labor. Today, many of our clothes are made in sweatshops using what amounts to child and slave labor.

Maybe it would have been better for humanity if the Luddites won.

No, it would not have been better for humanity if the Luddites had won. You'd have to be misguided, ignorant, or both to believe something like that.

It is not possible to rehabilitate the Luddites. If you insist on attempting to do so, there are better venues.
