    Several reasons. The politburo was highly corrupt due to flaws within Democratic Centralism. Additionally, corruption comes with being a developing country, which all eastern European Socialist states were.

    If you can find a non-corrupt developing Capitalist nation, I’ll be thoroughly impressed.

      I don’t think it’s corrupt vs non-corrupt but about the level of corruption

        Sure. The mechanisms of Capitalism support corruption even in developed nations, meanwhile it appears that corruption in Socialist systems is similar to corruption in developing Capitalist nations, as there haven’t been any developed Socialist nations. Fair?
