    Nothing you said after that prevents corruption. You haven’t offered a solution, you’ve just offered a hope.

      That’s just, like, your opinion, dude. Anarcho-syndicalism doesn’t logically eliminate corruption either, no system does

        no system does

        Exactly. Socialism brings no solution to the table. To think, all this time Marx was just faffing about the difference between being stabbed with a six inch knife and a twelve inch knife. What a palaver.

          Marx’s point wasn’t the complete elimination of corruption, but the elimination of the exploitation of the working class by the owning class. This has historically happened in several countries and can (and will) happen again.

            the elimination of the exploitation of the working class by the owning class

            But not the elimination of exploitation. In which case: meh.

              There’s no surplus labour extraction, hence no exploitation

                LOL you’re deluded. What does it mean for there to be corruption without exploitation? Corruption is a form of exploitation.

                  Corruption isn’t systematic, it’s an isolated and illegal activity, unlike extraction of surplus value in capitalism which is legal and encouraged and systematic. The extent of corruption is orders of magnitude below capitalist exploitation.

                    I see.

                    Well, good luck.
