The Zeitgeist Movement group
[edit]The Zeitgeist Movement group was founded in 2009 by Joseph, after the second film in late 2008.[1][2][3] The name of the group is a trademark of Joseph's Gentle Machine Productions.[4] In 2009 the group described itself as the activist arm of Jacques Fresco's Venus Project.[5] The Venus Project featured in the second and third films. In April 2011, the two groups ended their association.[2]
The group has several local chapters around the world.[1][6][7][8][9] It has held two annual events, Z-Day and the Zeitgeist Media Festival.[10] Z-Day is an educational forum, the first having taken place in Manhattan in 2009. Some local chapters have also held events on the same day.[7][11][12]
The group advocate a transformation of society and the economic system. They propose a global resource-based economy and sustainable ecological policies.[1] The group criticises religion and market capitalism.[8][13][14][15][16][17]
Critical views
[edit]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.[18]
In Tablet Magazine, journalist Michelle Goldberg criticized the Zeitgeist movement, saying it "seems like the world's first Internet-based cult, with members who parrot the party line with cheerful, rote fidelity."[7]
