They can hardly industrialize on a sustainable scale right? Tourism is their only possible lifeblood, along with extractive stuff like mining and fishing and being a tax haven. What viable path is there for them under a communist system?

      Also the question is incorrect from the getgo

      Anyone on an island can just choose not to be on the island. The world is big enough that every island could be evacuated and its people resettled in America, Europe, Australia, etc. Or one of many new irrigated geoprojects in the Sahara/Central Asia. The world’s “island population” is tiny

      There would likely be job rotations for nearly everyone (everyone would shovel a little bit of shit and this is a good thing, and most jobs don’t require any real prior education) and maybe there’d also be place rotations to some extent. These rotations would be randomly chosen but also controlled so that everyone has a bit of everything (everyone does some dirty work, everyone gets to live in a various bunch of climates for a while)

      The only constraint would be how many native cultures/languages you want to preserve, but I everyone’s gonna speak English as a second language for sure. English will also be completely decolonized and every official info source will be controlled by the JDPON

      I also think it’d be nice if the “leaders” of such a society were on camera/mic 24/7 so that anyone on earth could check up on them x8billion I think this is a small price to pay for controlling the world
