What is The Venus Project?

2
00:00:04,178 --> 00:00:07,532
The Venus Project offers a new socio-economic system that isn't:

3
00:00:07,672 --> 00:00:10,029
capitalism, communism,

4
00:00:10,169 --> 00:00:12,830
socialism nor fascism.

5
00:00:12,970 --> 00:00:16,663
It's nothing like anything that has ever been tried before.

6
00:00:16,803 --> 00:00:18,583
It's not a dictatorship;

7
00:00:18,723 --> 00:00:20,738
nor is it democratic.

8
00:00:20,878 --> 00:00:24,788
Yet it will achieve what all democracies have always tried to and never did.

9
00:00:24,928 --> 00:00:27,479
Freedom from violence, abuse,

10
00:00:27,619 --> 00:00:30,294
coercion and restrictions that are unnecessary,

11
00:00:30,434 --> 00:00:33,589
and only serve a small minority at the expense of the rest.

12
00:00:33,729 --> 00:00:38,012
It is a system that works for all of us and the environment we depend on.

13
00:00:38,152 --> 00:00:40,455
It seems that society today is unable to provide

14
00:00:40,595 --> 00:00:42,828
many people with a high standard of living,

15
00:00:42,968 --> 00:00:46,364
although it has been technically possible to do so for quite a while.

16
00:00:46,504 --> 00:00:50,175
There are many technical solutions that have been around for many years

17
00:00:50,315 --> 00:00:52,427
for housing, transportation,

18
00:00:52,567 --> 00:00:54,464
creating clean, renewable energy,

19
00:00:54,604 --> 00:00:57,442
growing nutritious food and providing clean water.

20
00:00:57,582 --> 00:01:00,587
But very little has been done to put them into practice

21
00:01:00,727 --> 00:01:05,005
due to the insufficiencies of the social structure we live in today.

22
00:01:05,145 --> 00:01:09,007
The Venus Project offers a system that would invite those technologies in,

23
00:01:09,147 --> 00:01:11,758
shorten the work day and raise the standard of living

24
00:01:11,898 --> 00:01:15,844
higher than what most people realize possible.

25
00:01:15,984 --> 00:01:21,506
