> Tech progress and GDP growth has meant that the world's poor live better lives, decade after decade, for many centuries now.

Every single time during the leaps of technology that brought tech progress and GDP growth there needed to be some kind of workers' revolt or the threat of it to actualise poors living better lives. Every leap in progress of systemic quality of life for workers came through class war: revolts, general strikes, mass protest, organized labour, etc.

Why do you think now it's different?
