Some interesting ideas; thanks. I don't quite grasp a couple of them:
> For small enough organization that "loyalty uber alles" prevents corruption.
How? There are many, many cases of people covering up for their fellow squad members.
> Or you can assume that corruption does not happen. Sometimes the mere assumption that corruption does not happen stifles it.
Hmmm ... that seems like a well-known recipe for encouraging corruption. How would that approach stifle it?

People who affect you and are not member of same in-group are the problem from any individuals point of view. >How would that approach stifle it? Most people are good by nature. The only instance I've stolen from work was a situation where it was expected that I might steal from work. So I kind of showed to them that I'm more cunning than they are careful. A challenge. Another point comes from self image, if everybody sees you as corrupt asshole, you see yourself as corrupt asshole. So you might as well act on it. In general people have strong tendency to act as is expected of them. Stronger than the tendency to act as they are told.
