No,
Exacty the opposite! I am an anarcho communist (the most extreme left) and this is exactly what we want -- automate everything, get rid of the enslavement of having to work. It is capitalism (right) that creates unnecessary bullshit jobs, job markets and where unemployment equals death. Just wanted to set the record straight, now you can continue the discussion
In before fluffrabbit
While you are spot on regarding the extreme left interpretation of automatization, it is not true that capitalism creates the bullshit jobs etc. Of course there is a certain tendency in capitalism to have a level of unemployment (and/or immigration) so that you can keep labour costs low (or rather below the cost of automatization), but everything beyond that of what you describe is a result of both left and right politics and the dysfunctionalities that are created when these clash.
Edit: so that people don't misunderstand... I am for abolishing capitalism, but there is more than the left / right political spectrum and you can't blame capitalism for all the bad stuff our late-stage western empire currently has to deal with.
