If we are talking about communism (basically: everyone owns everything, and there are no clesses), and capitalism (basically: an economic system in which all or most of the means of production are privately owned and operated), then this is seemingly quite simple. The government is publicly traded, and every citizen owns at least one share of stock, or he or she loses his or her citizenship. But in order for this to be communism, all goods and services have to be ownbed by all people, so all goods and services must be tied into the governemnt. In other words, there is extreme central organization, but that organization is decentralized down to each stock holder. The stock holders vote on every decision the company makes, and the shares value increases when they are good decisions, and they decrease when it is a bad decision. People with higher valued shares are able to split shares and sell the second share for goods and services. Each citizen would have to perform a benificial function in the society in order to keep his or her stocks, and there always must be 100% employment, whcih is the burden of the state, and thus the entire populace.
It won't really work (because people are too lazy, and because this level of organization would hvae to be run by a computer), but it's fun to think about.
