About the Zeitgeist Movement Los Angeles

The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM) is the activist arm of The Venus Project. TZM is an initiative born out of an awakening in which we understand the corrupt nature of the current social, economic and political systems. We want to address negative social consequences such as war, economic stratification, elitism, poverty and criminal activity. We recognize that these human behaviors and conditions result from outdated social distinctions that are promoted through certain economic, religious and political modes of thought, and are far from positive factors for true collective human growth and potential.

The Zeitgeist Movement approaches these problems from a non-dogmatic, critical view, which makes possible the understanding of how aberrant behavior results from scarcity. Working with the Venus Project, the Zeitgeist Movement strives for dramatic progressive changes in how human beings live their lives.

"...we live in a society that produces Scarcity. The consequence of this Scarcity is that human beings must behave in self preserving ways, even if it means they have to cheat and steal in order to get what they want... If we wish to end war, crime, hunger, poverty, territorial disputes and nationalism, we must work toward a future in which all resources are accepted as the common heritage of all people." - Jacque Fresco

If you are new to the movement we suggest watching the documentaries "Zeitgeist" and "Zeitgeist Addendum". They can be viewed online here: Watch the films. Addendum encompasses new topics and offers solutions to the root causes of social problems where criminal activity, stratification, poverty and war are recognized as symptoms.
