I am sure we’ve all heard the argument that “socialism is easily corruptible.” This is a misconception. While there is and has been corruption in socialist structures, it would be of a lesser level to that in capitalist political and corporate society. The only difference is that capitalism calls the same corruption farcical names like “lobbying,” “corporate influence,” “campaign contributions,” “regulatory capture,” or “crony capitalism.” institutionalized corruption.

    I am speaking about corruption from a socialist point where what is deemed corrupt is not corrupt to the capitalist.

    So your asking for a source is not so easy to offer, I’m sure you follow the news, and understand that money is influence, we constantly hear about back room deals. Just recently Labour retracted they’re promise of a cap on bankers bonuses after a conference with bankers.
