I think many of the socialist states of Asia and Eastern Europe are or were ridiculously corrupt. How democratic those were is of course questionable.
I meant that it wasn't really very resistant to corruption.
I'm not sure even that is true. Not sure how you can even really measure that. Or do you mean it could theoretically be?
What do you feel was the reason that the corruption was so high in Eastern European socialist states?
I don't think it's corrupt vs non-corrupt but about the level of corruption
That does seem fair
There was never socialism in Asia or Eastern Europe. At no point have the workers seized the means of production and had a dictatorship of the proletariat.
You can apply this No True Scotsman logic to capitalism, too. Its biggest fans say True capitalism has never been tried, either.
