Although I disagree with your conclusion, I upvoted you because I agree that their assumptions are not fully researched or well formed. The whole Zeitgeist movement seems to me a case of reinventing the wheel. There are any number of non-capitalist and anti-capitalist economic and political theories that people can draw from (market socialism, social democracy, libertarian municipalianism, syndicalism, etc), but this movement seems to never acknowledge them, and instead presents a vulgar anti-materialism ("we just won't have money!") without thinking through how society might function as such. Usually when I hear someone is interested in the Zeitgeist stuff, I try and recommend a more complete and grounded political theory that they can research.
