I've played civilization and I'm pretty sure there's other forms of government besides Communism and Monarchy that have low corruption, albeit lacking the ability to force the citizens into war on the leader's whim.

Corruption is a matter of individuals rather than the form of government. Any human system is bound to be corruptible since it involves humans.

I think a strong anti corruption culture is the best defense against it.

How does one go about building their own government/economic system?

The Soviet revolution managed it

Yeah, it wasn't one guy on Reddit lol. Why haven't you started the revolution?

And y'all wonder why people rag on .ml.

The whole point was that I don't reject successful revolutions while not having achieved anything myself. That's you dog.

I never rejected anything, maybe try reading again and this time not just seeing what you want. And what was successful before doesn't mean it will be successful today. People just don't understand context or nuance. That's you dog.
