Before the industrial revolution hit France, most lower-class French people were farmworkers. They essentially sharecropped for the richy-rich estate owners.
They had special wooden shoes called "sabots". When they found themselves being replaced by much more efficient machines, they sought revenge by throwing their shoes into the gears.
Sabotage.

Were you just watching Star Trek VI?
no, but did they talk about that? because that would be synchronicity, my friend
I wish it was on YouTube, because Star Trek VI is wicked fantastic, and there's a whole mini-speech on the subject by pre-Sex and the City Kim Cattrall.
