It's hard for people, especially older people, to wrap their heads around a society without money. That's what this is, a society without money. Capitalism and communism are basically the same thing except that they differ in how much the state intervenes in business. They both, however, are the same system of money as a means to exchange value and your own labor, all for the sake of just surviving.

What the Venus project is talking about is not making peopke earn their living, their life, but using the vast knowledge and stunning technology we have accumulated over the generations to build a society that actually supports every human being and allows us all to shine to the best of our potential. Like I said, that's hard for some older folks to embrace because well, to put it simply, old dogs....new tricks.

No need to get defensive. I apologize if I came off as condescending.
In a perfect world I support the idea. But in the real world, it looks like we head towards a dystopia, where few decide everything. Lets hope that we can make a turn for the better, enslaving machines instead of people.
My point was that the technology already exists. We don't need to wait for the future. We just need to make it happen. And it can't happen with force, like the previous experiments of New World Order. Somebody has to create a community, where the principles are followed and SHOW others that it works, is sustainable and, most importantly, is better than what we have now. If you build it, they will come.

You did not come off as condescending!

I hope for this experimental system to come to place soon!
