antimachinist

plural antimachinists

1. Someone who is hostile to machinery; a Luddite

   The uprising of the antimachinists got under way and went on to a victorious end. It was, however, a victory marred by agonizing controversies as to where to draw the line between machines slated for destruction and the ones to be kept.

   1969, Stanley L. Jaki, Brain, Mind, and Computers, page 259

2. governmentAn opponent of a political machine

   Perhaps this distraction was perversely comforting for a dyed-in-the-wool antimachinist like Orr, a sense of continuity at a time of great emotional confusion.
