Why does America need to stop existing in a communist world? Why can't it simply have it's inner power structures replaced with communism while remaining in existence? (hexbear.net)

Depends on how you define "America." After you change the government, economic system, culture, and name, it starts to be a Ship of Theseus thing.

The only question left is the borders, but "in a communist world" borders are less important. We might even have overlapping voting regions and sub-regions like a big complicated Venn diagram, depending on the issue at hand. Maybe everyone in the Rio Grande watershed votes on Rio Grande-related issues. If your farming community straddles the watershed divide, maybe half your neighbors vote on Rio Grande-related issues and the other half don't.

I don't see a reason to keep the current borders of America, but also, I'm not sure what the borders will even mean.
