Maaaaaaybe the USSR isn't the best example of a better society we want to be building.

I'm watching the whole ideological-purge thing happen in the US and it kinda sucks.

Either build something better or shutup, I say. Unless you're a big fan of Tsarist Russia

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.
