'''The Venus Project''' is a modern [[Utopian socialism|Utopian Socialist]] and non-profit organisation located in the [[USA]] state of [[Florida]]. created in 1985 by the [[Statesian]] futurist [[Jacque Fresco]],<ref>{{News citation|newspaper=The Venus Project|title=History|url=https://www.thevenusproject.com/the-venus-project/history/|retrieved=2022-7-28|quote=The history of The Venus Project offers a unique perspective into Jacque Fresco’s life: from the early years when he worked at Wright Field to the time he and his associate, Roxanne Meadows, built the Research Center in Venus, Florida.}}</ref> the Venus Project seeks to create a "''resource-based economy''", and a socio-economic system free of war, hunger, poverty, and politics.

The Venus Project claims that they wish to create a socio-economic system has transcended [[capitalism]], [[communism]], [[socialism]], and [[fascism]].

Through the implementation of a Global Resource Based Economy, and a multitude of innovative and environmentally friendly technologies directly applied to the social system, The Venus Project proposals will dramatically reduce crime, poverty, hunger, homelessness, and many other pressing problems that are common throughout the world today.

One of the cornerstones of the organization’s findings is the fact that many of the dysfunctional behaviors of today’s society stem directly from the dehumanizing environment of the monetary system. In addition, automation has resulted in the technological replacement of human labor by machines and eventually most people will not have the purchasing power to buy the goods and services turned out.

The Venus Project proposes a system in which automation and technology would be intelligently integrated into an overall holistic socio-economic design where the primary function would be to maximize the quality of life rather than profits. This project also introduces a set of workable and practical values.

This is also in perfect accord with the spiritual aspects and ideals found in most religions throughout the world. What sets The Venus Project apart, however, is that it proposes to translate these ideals into a working reality.}}</ref>
