Zeitgeist Addendum

At first I was super unimpressed with this version of the movie. Their characterization (propaganda) of the free market and the monetary system is super shallow and purposely dumbs down a lot of the information (making it suitable to their message). However, as the movie proceeds I can begin to understand how easily this characterization of the free market can be made-when they are putting forth ideas that are far more suitable for this age, than perpetuating old ways of the capitalist system...

Interesting agenda put forth The Venus Project

When its all based on ideas... its easy to project that there are better options.
If energy, transportation, poverty, health care etc can be sustained and universal.... capitalism, monetary systems etc... do seem ridiculously outdated.

I also think that the ideas presented seem to be completely in line with the communist manifesto... only the ideas of socialism that we know of from history were never truly communist. This Venus Project would be the people owning the system, the resources belonging to them, and the set up would be through the fall of the old.
