"Never be deceived that the rich will permit you to vote away their wealth." - Lucy Parsons
Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.

If the is in reference to the New World Order [RL wise], there would be Multiple. One for each continent.


London for europe, New York for North America, Cairo for Africa, Hong Kong or somthing Asia, etc.


But the OVER ALL capital would probably be NYC [Financial and its Awesomesauce], London [Royalty and Age] or Paris [Its VERY PRETTY]

Simple question -- if the world was a single nation (heh), what city would you want to be its capital~?

My vote -- Istanbul. A place where East meets West, with Islamic-on-Christian-on-pagan histories. It's been ruled by Roman pagans, Byzantine Christians, and Turkish Muslims, and so has inherited more-or-less the culture of all three. And, Napoleon Bonaparte once said -- "If the Earth were a single state, Constantinople would be its capital."
Or maybe it's just my own personal biases that make me choose Istanbul.

My second choice would be Jerusalem -- holy to the majority of the world's population, and has been ruled by Jews, Christians, pagans, and Muslims.

So, what do you think~?


Leave it where it is. Washington DC.
Go Vikings.
Sunnyvale, straight the fuck up.

It would need to be a place with low crime and reasonable traffic control, good communications, solid infrastructure.

I vote for one of the historically independent cities of Europe, such as Cologne, or Salzburg, or Gdansk.

Lyons would qualify, and its location is fairly central within Europe.

Istanbul. Located in both Europe and Asia.
Today, the only market system ever exist is state capitalism. It is designed in a way that the state takes the risk while the private sector profits from it.

I'm not sure. I think continents could be states, with a capital for each.

New York for NA, Rio for SA, Cape Town for Africa, Berlin for Europe, and Hong Kong for Asia.

Have them deal with most issues, but when it is a global issue, send representatives to a base either in space, or in Antarctica, to ensure neutrality.

Geneva.
Long tradition in neutrality, tolerance, multi-linguism, and hosting people from all over the world (UN and CERN).
Reasonabily small, but with an intercontinental airport in the city, another one (Zurich) nearby, and three other large airports in at less than 4 hours either on rails or on road: Lyon, Basel, and Milan.
Also, a beautiful city on a lake, with a glorious view over the Alps and a decent climate.
