What is the Marxist solution to corruption? (hexbear.net)

Being from the sub-continent, low-level and bureaucratic corruption is a big pervasive problem. Corruption in general. From the lower office peons to the highest officers the rot runs deep. Bribing to even get basic paperwork done is common. How do countries like China and others in the "First World" handle it?

Is it a culture thing? or something else?

If the state can provide a decent life for its employees, then I think that goes a loooong way towards eliminating the sort of corruption you usually don't see in the US

Our corruption is way more expensive. You can't have proles thinking they can really control the government.
