It is insane to think that a system based on equality and worker ownership isn't the fix to corruption.
Corruption is not a system issue, it is a human issue.
Some systems can be less vulnerable than others, but to just throw "communism" as a solution is just as stupid as throwing "free market" as a solution.
"The free market will make it impossible to maintain profit if it goes against the peoples' interests!"
You are doing the same thing but with communism.

So it is a system issue
The difference is that proletarian democracies address these issues collectively instead of rewarding private individuals and companies for their corruption. No one is saying corruption will disappear overnight if we press the communism button, that's not how it works, but if we stop rewarding corruption and we start imprisoning people instead of fining them and we restructure how elections work then we're already addressing the biggest systemic flaws that make corruption this rampant.
