>Corruption is a natural consequence of a world governed by profit.
Profit is no necessary for corruption to happen. Lenin and Stalin did prosecute profit(and millions starved as a consequence) and their country was extremely corrupt.
It is power that corrupts. Humans have a social hierarchy like other social animals and people want to be above and not down.
Power is inside our brains not outside. You don't need to teach anything to a horse or a Wolf, or gorillas, they will try to dominate the other horses, Wolves or Gorillas.
And Humans, specially dominant Humans want to dominate other humans, and most humans don't like being dominated.
- LB232323 5y agoStalin sold out his country in debt negotiations with foreign banks. He did this because Kulaks destroyed massive amounts of grain in order to maintain profitable prices. Ask a Russian and they will tell you that profit seeking caused the Holodomor. This Animal Farm logic has been digested by most Americans. Russians actually wanted democracy, but this was suppressed by Bolshevism. Most of human history encompasses hunter gatherer societies, a social hierarchy in which the most vital resources are collectively owned.
