Just for everyone who doesn't know what people are referring too with the Venus project/Zeitgeist... this is the relevant part of the documentary of what is being discussed:

In a Resource Based Economy all goods and services are available to all people without the need for means of exchange such as money, credits, barter or any other means. For this to be achieved all resources must be declared as the common heritage of all Earth’s inhabitants. Equipped with the latest scientific and technological marvels mankind could reach extremely high productivity levels and create abundance of resources.

The only thing that worries me about this is I feel that in order for this to work at all on earth, we must be ready and capable to travel and develop cities on other planets as well.  That's why I'm hoping this whole SpaceX thing pans out.
