Yes. Subsistence farming (or more practically, hunting/gathering) SHOULD be the bottom line fallback in case of extremely oppressive employment - NOT an ideal way to live. The problem with industrial Britain was that oppressed workers had nowhere to do it (farming/hunting/gathering). All the land was owned by aristocrats. This drove the attraction to socialism (replacing oppressive capitalists with oppressive government, which somehow never goes away on its own as promised by Marx).
In the hey day of America, there was some positive shakeup of Britain when American millionaires (billionaires in today's money) would buy land in Britain from bankrupt aristocrats, and sell/rent it cheap to those willing to use it productively. Sort of an early "Habitat for Humanity". (Many gave it away, but this was not effective - go figure. )
