 Hey, I looked for the "why would anyone want this" section in your write-up and didn't find it. Did you forget to add it?

 Eripsa didn't really have any followers. That's why he keeps coming here - we pay more attention to him than he gets anywhere else, even if it's almost entirely negative attention.

Well you're the one asking a question that was answered in the OP.
What's the idea?

"Humans should own the robots to do their work for them, or the robots should own/run society." AKA: "all the automation-based buzzwords you keep on hearing on /r/Futurology with its own catch-all -ism".

Deal with that however you choose. Throw a revolution, build your own ASIMO, wait 100 years and buy stock in some automated business, create schizophrenic conspiracy theory-infested videos, it's not up to me to figure out how to organize society. I'm not even asking for anyone to do anything. I'm just creating a catch-all term for all those drat buzzwords. Hence why I said this thread's redundant since we already have an automation thread.

Okay, you've made up a new word that describes "automation-related social problems". Now what? What useful discussion is there to be had about "hey guys I invented a word"?
