Redistributing wealth arbitrarily is distinct from socialism/communism in what way?
There are many systems to which attribute socialism and/or communism was attributed in a reasonable way accepted by intelligent and educated people (this excludes most of US population I am afraid) - all of those systems indeed redistributed wealth one way or the other and did many other things. However I know no functioning society that does not engage in some sort of distribution of wealth. That is human and societies that would not do it would need quite some oppression and/or propaganda machine to keep the less fortunate at bay - something that is also a way of redistributing wealth (to oppression workers&media workers and owners). Looking at imprisoning rate in US - the land of the free is walking this path already.
As to being a luddite... you're saying that the robots should not be permitted to automate industries IF "reasons"... Standing in the way of that at all for any reason is opposition to the most efficient means of producing something in the economy.
I looked up GP and GGGP posts - nowhere there there was a desire to put automation on permit. Besides that if I go on and proceed to automate each and every activity that you are trying to start&execute - will you be happy? There is a limit to everything to automation too.
As to the notion that there will be a "workers revolution"... that is literally right out of Karl Marx.
There are different types of revolution - The guy whose work made that word popular was certainly not a marxist (do you know who that was?). Besides people not happy with being evicted from their homes because often hit the streets and one need military or military like force to stop them. That happened with and without Marxist ideology and quite frankly a foundation of some states is based on that awful idea of revolting against economic oppression (USofA come to mind too by the way).
So... you're almost certainly a marxist.
How relevant is it, what political view GP has? Does it bother you that other people are allowed to have views that you dislike? Would you prefer to put them into reeducation camps? Actually that is normal way of dealing with enemy of the status quo. The winners usually have a chance to explain why that is good etc. thus shaping our morality and ethics. Still calling somebody a marxist makes no valid argument. It either only releases the tension or serves to intimidate your opponent in a discussion. I could call you 'stupid Murican' too but neither I know whether you are stupid nor that you come from USA - it just looks like you are one of those 'Muricans' - not sure why would that be relevant to this discussion except that people from other side of the pond have strongly biased views of the world which often makes them look simple minded.
Which is cute because the ideology is obsolete. It was applicable to the industrial revolution. .. robots amongst other things killed it.
By which you want to say that oppression and associated poverty ceased to exist? They just changed the way we all change. This is other progress than technological -- the moral and ethical progress that prevents us from enslaving, killing, maiming etc. It is also telling us (well most of us anyway) that letting fellow humans rot in ghettos for instance is not the best for our society. Not sure why it would be that a robotic revolution resolves all the issues that plague our societies from the start - would their use abolish property rights thus relieve us from haves-havenots dilemma (are you a marxist by the way?) - there is no sign of it yet and I think the struggle will continue and will continue changing. At some point we will possibly stop killing and imprisoning each other but I doubt this will happen soon. I am also not sure if I like the way this may be achieved. We shall see. What I am relatively certain is this: no wealth and power redistribution which revolutions are (technological, industrial, information - all of them) goes without violence. Whether this violence will result in bloodshed is a different story - technology affects the violence industry too.
