The Zeitgeist Movement is a non-profit organization established in the United States in 2008 by Peter Joseph. The organization advocates a transformation of society and its economic system to a non monetary system based on resource allocation and environmentalism.

Overview

Zeitgeist is dead, get over it.

Origin of movement

fortunately the zeitgeist movement is dead.

Zeitgeist Movement book

no problem with burning zeitgeist books. Scum.

Events

no one attends zeitgeist events.

Response

An article in the Journal of Contemporary Religion describes the movement as an example of a "conspirituality", a synthesis of New Age spirituality and conspiracy theory.

Michelle Goldberg of Tablet Magazine called the movement "the world's first Internet-based apocalyptic cult, with members who parrot the party line with cheerful, rote fidelity." In her opinion, the movement is "devoted to a kind of sci-fi planetary communism", and the 2007 documentary that "sparked" the movement was "steeped in far-right, isolationist, and covertly anti-Semitic conspiracy theories."

Alan Feuer of The New York Times said the movement was like "a utopian presentation of a money-free and computer-driven vision of the future, a wholesale reimagination of civilization, as if Karl Marx and Carl Sagan had hired John Lennon from his "Imagine" days to do no less than redesign the underlying structures of planetary life."
