movie is very interesting. Although I don't buy into the entire Zeitgeist movement for many reasons. It is very thought provoking in it's concept. On the surface the idea if a Zeitgeist Utopian Society free of war, money, greed all living in a communal existence looks great, but it eerily reminds me of a Fascist or Progressive Socialist society.

I don't believe greed and violence is breed into mankind, but it is a learned response from the reality of the world we live in.
