Sure corruption is not an invention of capitalism, but one of the problems of capitalism is that it promotes and favors corruption. Lobbyists are an easy example of what I mean.
How can corruption be promoted and favored by capitalism when a capitalism is the least corrupt nation on earth and anticapitalist systems have never come close?
Try and explain how lobbying currently works then, without including corruption
Why would I do that? How is lobbying the thing that makes a system more corrupt than examples of other systems attempted like a communist dictatorship or an Anarchy where the guy with the most guns gets to fuck everybody's wife and daughter?
Capitalism doesn't require lobbying to be legal in the first place. Capitalism refers to a system of production and distribution of goods with hard requirements of currency, private property, and competition.
