      Eh corruption and nepotism definitely existed in socialist states too and probably always will to some extent, I just think the damage done by corruption pales in comparison to the systemic damage capitalism in general does.

      Overfocusing on corruption as one of the biggest problems in society is a liberal narrative because they’re incapable of thinking holistically about the entire system.

        The difference is that this is actually corruption when it happens in a socialist state and any socialist state which doesn’t constantly combat it will eventually succumb to it, whereas “corruption” in a capitalist state is how the system is designed to work, so definitionally not corruption and can be maintained indefinitely.
