    jobs that exist merely to support a speculative bourgeoisie dictatorship should be abolished

    Cool. I just think it doesn’t go without saying :)

    Well, automation involves robotization, too

    I don’t think so. I mean you can achieve automation with robotization, but that’s not the only way, like in the windmill example. I also don’t think trying to robotize everything first then trying to find a “greener” way is a good approach: where has it taken us so far? Electronic devices are everywhere and their ecological impact keeps growing, and we are still no closer (if not much farther) from green electronics than we were a few decades ago.

    If you think about it, electronic devices from the 80s were rather simple components and easily repairable. So even when something broke down, you could always change a single part (minor ecological impact). And overall, much less materials were involved in building them, which meant less extractivism, and more possibilities for recycling.
