Both extremes on display those examples, seems like they both end up in the same place in the end. Maybe it would be reasonable to use any system that is a mix of things, instead of focusing on pure capitalism or communism.
There’s really no such thing as a pure system, any mix is still going to have either the public sector as principle or private, ie which controls the state, large firms, and key industries. There’s no way to keep them “balanced,” one will have power over the other, and its best for it to be the public sector.
I’ve played civilization and I’m pretty sure there’s other forms of government besides Communism and Monarchy that have low corruption, albeit lacking the ability to force the citizens into war on the leader’s whim.
Maaaaaaybe the USSR isn’t the best example of a better society we want to be building.
I’m watching the whole ideological-purge thing happen in the US and it kinda sucks.

Either build something better or shutup, I say. Unless you’re a big fan of Tsarist Russia
How does one go about building their own government/economic system?
The Soviet revolution managed it
Yeah, it wasn’t one guy on Reddit lol. Why haven’t you started the revolution?
And y’all wonder why people rag on .ml.
The whole point was that I don’t reject successful revolutions while not having achieved anything myself. That’s you dog.

Lol, good bit.
Corruption is a matter of individuals rather than the form of government. Any human system is bound to be corruptible since it involves humans.
I think a strong anti corruption culture is the best defense against it.
