1. Zeitgeist the Movie has three different parts.

The first is a lengthy denial of the existence of Jesus as a historical person. Nothing right wing or left wing about it at al.

The second is 9/11 alternative history. Again, there is nothing particularly left wing or right wing about this section. Yes, a Republican president was in office during the attacks, but many 9/11 Truth leaders came from the right wing side of the political aisles as much as any came from the left.

The last section is Federal Reserve alt history. Again, you will find both left wing and right wing adherents to this explanation.

The true place that Zeitgeist is speaking from is libertarianism and extreme distrust of authority.

I'll add more later.
