To the posters z1235 and John James on the Venus/Zeitgeist scout comments: Nice observation! You almost got me…I’m not a scout but Peter Joseph himself! Mwahahaha!!!
No but seriously, I have watched the film, obviously. It raised some interesting questions, but it’s definitely not a feasible or desirable style of society. Once he went into the rant of abolishing private property, he pretty much lost me. However, his suggestions for using the scientific model for allocating resources is interesting. Then again, a true capitalist market would do this in effect anyway, lol
Basically, I’ve come to the conclusion that our current model of crony-capitalism practiced in America is so far away from pure capitalism, that it has clouded my judgment to the point that I thought capitalism has failed us. My new question is…where could we go from here? How could we possibly reverse decades upon decades of the fundamental dismantling of capitalism? Ron Paul anyone? It’s a start, huh?
