A question about socialism that is very precious to me

[Montes]

One of the big things about socialism is that there will be no countries, no borders, etc. The state will not exist and all that fun stuff. HOWEVER, what would happen to the one thing every 4 years that keeps me and another few billion people going: the world cup? :rolleyes:

You could still rationally divide up land into groups of communes and then create a united team with members from the different communes, if people were okay with that.

"the hassidim tell a story about the world to come that says everything there will be just as it is here. just as our room is now, so it will be in the world to come; where our baby sleeps now, there too it will sleep in the other world. and the clothes we wear in this world, those too we will wear there. everything will be as it is now, just a little different."

Perhaps in the future the rectangles that are formed by the ten degree lines of latitude and longitude will be used in place of countries for such purposes as mailing addresses and delegations to world sports events.

(Today's national boundaries are totally meaningless. Who cares what squiggley lines some army general sketched onto a battlefield map a thousand years ago?)
