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.
