That's more of a corruption issue isn't it? If your country was the opposite leaning politically, the same corrupt politicians would still do their best increase their wealth and power at the expense of anyone else. It's not something unique to the left or the right, or any political stance. Power corrupts, and as you gain more power, thus increasing the chance for corruption, the easier it is to gain more power. Ad infinitum.

all things being equal, all countries have corruption. Then The only variable here was the ideological leaning as corruption already is in every country because no one is perfect.

But what can I say, we can't redo our life and be reborn in a different country to experience it directly. We only got the one chance.

Sadly that was my experience. Anyone is free to disregard it or learn from it
