Yeah and it took about 150 years until industrial revolution started to actually benefit the common people and the workers started to have their working conditions improved.

What it took was social democracy and unions and other social movements.

Saying that "it's happened before, it'll be alright" is a bit naive and short-sighted.

It took a literal civil war, which you don't read about in history books so much because it's not beneficial for the owners of those publishing houses to have more people hear about it. Lots of people died on both sides.
