If there is no countries or nations under communism. Would there be states or cities. That is still a form of seperation. What if one city developed a flag and foght other cities?

then the system would break down and the other "cities" would need to remove the city that revolted
but i cant tell you if there would be separate states or cities becuz i dont know enough on the subject yet

I don't believe there will be states.. but I'm pretty sure there will still be cities. You can't exactly arrive in a town and call it 'Housing Outcropping #55602'.

Indeed. I think the idea of countries will still exist, since that kind of thing is deeply ingrained in people on a national level. Internationalism would obviously try to play down the nationalistic elements, but we still need to call places by their names. I don't know how it would work on a smaller scale, I assume their'd be regional then city (or rural commune, depending on where you lived) committees. Dunno if this appeals to everyone else but it sounds logical to me :P

Though of course we have to rename Washington D.C. to Washedclean D.C. or something along the lines of that. :D

An old friend of mine once told me about a book (possibly fictional, since my friend was like that) that had ben written by a guy who'd undertaken a coup in some part of Africa, who then decided to do a "How To Lead Coup" book (or something like that - can anyone confirm if it exists?). Anyways, apparently one of the best things to do juts after having gained power is to rename cities and things, "keep people on their toes" style of thing. So perhaps we could have some Marxtown and Engelbergs springing up post-revolution :lol:

The names of places (unless of course are very reactionary and need to be changed) will stay the same for geographical reasons. Would there still be states such as in America? Yes, again for geographical reasons. Now would the boundaries of these states mean anything, no not at all. In fact the boundaries would probably become unclear and the state names refer to regions not specific outlined areas.

on this board, in the theory section i think, there was the idea that people will be likely to move from city to city, country to country and continent to continent through their lives. a nomadic way of life.

the only reason i have to stay where i do, is because of i have a mortgage, or my house/flat is near my job. we as a class, cannot afford to move from place to place as we please. ,only the very occasional holiday, if were lucky enough to live in a developed country.
