Your favorite economic mode of production has the exact same potential for corruption and exploitation if not more. Wealth isn't the only form of capital. Societies that tried to forcefully eliminate wealth inequality have always ended up with an economy of exchanging favors behind closed doors. This is what gave rise to Guanxi in China, which is why there is so much corruption there. Even after the markers opened up the social capital obligations remained, so the Guanxi economy is self sustaining.

But if you believe that, whatever it may be, then how do we get rid of it? Do you not believe those "safety" measures can be implemented into a mode of production? If the monopoly on force is dissolved and the private property of socially productive assets is dissolved. Will it not be in the interest of everyone to organize and stop that corruption and exploitation?
