The original quote is
>The hand-mill gave us the feudal lord, while the steam-mill gave us the industrial capitalistsIt reminded me of what Plato said, about craftsmen of the hand being united. He claims that craftsmen of the vocal chords are distinct. Marx just seemed to elaborate on this from a class perspective. The implication here is that skilled craftsmen contribute to a nobility. The notion that the nobleman can't live without the artist is a compelling concept, but it's not very funny!
