WTFing hell is the Zeitgeist movement?

[Angry Young Man]

After some shallow looking into them, they seem like socialist technocrats, but really cultish.

Check out the movie(s) on zeitgeist movie . com (I can't post links yet), or search for "Zeitgeist, the Movie" on wikipedia.

Highly recommended imo

Zeitgeist Addendum is light years better than Zeitgeist the movie.

They are basically a reaction against bushism.

Something for Alex Jones nutters and "defend the Constitution! The federal reserve is not in the constitution! constitution! Constitution! Socialist reptilians are destroying the Constitution!" people.

The first Zeithgeist movie is the usual constitutionalist/libertarian/conspiracy theorist porn.
The 2nd one takes a different turn and at some point talks about a technocratic society of sorts...I really didn't expect them to talk about that when I was told to watch that movie.

Wrong. The zeitgeisters are generally left-turned, but in a different way.

Alex Jones has denounced the Zeitgeist films.

I watched one part of the film about 9/11. It seems to be about the New World order conspiracy theories.

hit the nail on the head all this nwo stuff. people waste too much of their time on all this conspiracy stuff and zeitgeist just fuels it all. more important things in the world to be into than all this crap.

I found parts of the Zeitgeist (particularly the endorsement of technocracy) essentially Marxist (The German Ideology), where he said (or he would have said, the conclusion can be derived from his proposals in that book) that bolshevism was too early since there wasn't enough technology to allow the means of production to be seized by the slaves (we must let capitalism run its course). I think, essentially, we will slowly make a transition to communism as society advances, so there will be no need to seize the means of production (or if there is, it won't be so violent as he imagined it would be).
