Rich man, poor man - today`s Poland [80]
talk about the Zeitgeist Movement or the Venus Project people remember communism and when they think communism its Russia circa 1930's.
But I cannot have another impressions after reading about those movements, especially Venus Project. It is all a mixture of concepts proposed by communist and green parties, with a considerable touch of science fiction.
[i]The core idea advocated by TZM is the replacement of current civilization with a money-free and cybernated "resource-based economy".[4] The Zeitgeist Movement and the Venus Project promote replacing human labour with automation, government will be through collective participation of the public, aided by advanced cybernation. According to the movement, there will be no decision-making process regarding greater social issues by human beings, those decisions are arrived at by using the scientific method, based on the carrying capacity of the Earth, rather than using human opinions.
Half the points in their list of aims and goals of the project is communist, the other half is environmentalist.

It all sounds very beautiful, but only on paper. In practice, it will be a disaster. Read below.
personally i don't see any other option, not communism as such but a redesign of our culture to cater for every human being on this planet.
But don`t you understand that any attempts of artifical redesigning of our culture are harmful and have always ended with disaster, no matter if done in communist, fascist or democratic countries? The human culture that we have now is so complex and versatile that you can`t just come and declare its redesign. It won`t work, just like it didn`t work in history.
