[quote=AN]Again, not anywhere close to the same scale. We’re talking about billionaires getting their fortunes through bribery and being able to dictate what business succeed or fail based on whether they get a share of that company or not. All the while the citizens are dirt poor. We’re not talking about American “poor” either. We’re talking about local officials skimming from the top off road projects where the end result funding is a fraction of what it started out as and end up with poor quality roads due to lack of funding. The corruption starts from the bottom and go all the way to the top. I can go on and not, but point is, not even close.[/quote]
This does not sound like communism, or even socialism. It sounds like any country with weak institutions.
