Working in the banking system. Not far fetched at all. Money is created out of debt. money=debt All is true. Check it out on the Federal Reserve site.
All communist's models we have today had some sort of exchange medium "money" I believe the one proposed by Addendum is called a Resource Based Economy and has no "money" in the system. Also if you where paying attention to the movie, there are no leaders, in the sense of humans ruling over another. So I don't think you can all it communism. Simply put, not even close.
If everyone joined this movement the world would be much saner, in all aspects.

I was fortunate to attend the premiere of zeitgeist addendum yesterday night, and all i can say that it was mind-blowing. as expected, the information that was conveyed to the audience was explosive and intriguing at the same time. The film starts with the first part explaining the concept of the modern day banking scheme: the fractional reserve banking. This is a system that creates for every real dollar that is deposited x-amount of virtual dollars, which the bank then uses to lend over and over again. The system is based entirely on fraud and money is only created through debt (issue of loans). This concept is very critical as it gives insight to the financial disaster that we're experiencing. This is a system that enslaves people through inflation and interest rates, for that they're is never enough money in circulation to pay off the debt (interest). The second part explains how economic warfare is waged against foreign countries that don't sell off their resources and allow the multi-national corporations to privatize foreign economies. The movie gives insight from a former economic hitman who explains the procedure in which the US, world bank and IMF go about pursuing their corporate agendas. The third part illustrates who really runs the show on this beautiful planet: profit hungry and conscienceless corporations. the movie points out that the reason why there is so much suffering on this planet is because of the pursuit of profits. the filmmaker insist that as long as we have a monetary system and profit as our priorities there will never be equality and peace because this only promotes competition and selfishness without any intentions of the well being of the entire human species, the flora, fauna, and entire universe. The fourth part offers the solution and this is a really interesting one: technology. they present technology in a very fascinating light, as a savior of life. The movie states that there are enough resources and that we have the technology today to provide food, shelter, energy and everything else from everybody on this planet. the problem lies in ownership and distribution of those essential resources. resources should owned by the entire human species and with the help of technology we should be freed from this artificial system of enslavement that forces us to compete for money and resources. technology should thus free us and allow us to become creators instead of competitors. there should be now laws because laws wont be needed when we dont need to fight to survive. there should be no money because there are no profit incentives. After the screening there was a Q&A in which the filmmaker and the leaders of the venus project provided further insight. they stated that this is not a communist system because, there is no military, no money, and no laws involved. i understand that this is a very utopian goal, but it is definitely better to work towards this kind of society than what we are dealing with right now. We need to wake up and break through this systemic illusion that tries to suppress people. It's time to spread the information and to have an impact on society by living change and not hoping for it. i believe that there is an infinite consciousness that connects everything and that's why we have and always will progess! One love!
