Oh, I don’t think so. They were differently corruptible, but they still managed to develop their own kind of corrupt. I really am convinced that GOVERNMENT = Corruption.
If communism could emerge without totalitarianism, it could be a very different thing, but so far that hasn’t happened and maybe it can’t happen. I don’t see a lot of corruption in some of the more socialist European countries but maybe I’m not looking hard enough.
It is insane! Greed, stupidity, ignorance, misguided values…and the list goes on…and people die.

I think it might be ultimately irresistable — at least to most pols. Not every single one, but mostly. I want to be wrong.
