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?

I don't know loads about how either works in China. I think Lenin's ideal form of 'anyone can and should be a bureaucrat for some period of time' is dependent on reaching a fairly late stage in socialism.

I think China is moving in that direction, local democracy is already pretty participatory as I understand it. Their university enrolment rate is rocketing upwards in the past couple decades. And they only recently made a law forcing company boards to have a minimum amount of workers. So they are going in the direction of more directly involving workers in high-end positions.
