I made an edit to my previous post:

to make it more clear: all governments being untrustworthy is something an anarchist would say. It would be quite the stretch to call that centrism, no?

The person (I reckon) is rather talking about the inherent nature of a government being corrupt. The individual opinions of each government do not matter for this.

Ah, i also just edited my comment haha. Then the difference lies in us reading the comment differently. You would be correct in your interpretation of the comment, i do not see a reason why that interpretation would be less valid than mine either until comment OP clarifies their position

Okay, I can agree to that conclusion :D

At first I felt personally offended as I too regard all governments as untrustworthy, for which I'd be regarded as far-left, not (enlightened) centrist. But I see the discrepancy now :)
