There are always individuals who will try to enrich themselves or advance their personal interests to the detriment of the people/state.

This is the most annoying bit of liberal propaganda that I see. Not that this is not a true fact. This one statement in a void is true. What is incorrect is the fact that people see this happen in the west, and call it corruption. When their definition of corruption only hold true when you apply it to socialism, which is a system that works for the proletariat.

Liberals like to scream about "corrupt" politicians in the west. Stating that, these politicians are corrupt for taking bribes from rich people and companies, and thus pushing policies that help them, at the expense of the working class. They call this corruption because they have spent a century trying to convince people that the government of a CAPITALIST nation, somehow works for the people.

That, in fact, is not how things work. Corruption within a system means some force is working against the intent of the system. On a capitalist system, a politician that takes money from the capitalist class, and then aids the capitalist class, is JUST the system working as it's intended. Western politicians aren't corrupt, they are just working as intended.

This is why, when we see all these things happening and all these "corrupt" western politicians, nothing ever happens to them. They continue business as usual. BUT when you see a politician that is actually trying to HELP the working class, at the expense of the capitalist, that IS corruption of a capitalist system. And what ALWAYS happens to those people? They are slandered and attacked and pushed out. Blocked from making any real change, with massive amounts of wealth thrown at defeating them.

The thing is, if they admit to this, it might anger the people, and lead to a revolt, so they lie. They claim the government works for the people and that some politicians are corrupt, but doing anything about it would be evil gomminism. Just VOTE them out!

Meanwhile, in an actual communist country, the western use of "corruption" is ACTUAL corruption. And in many of those, is an actual crime, and punished. Within the CPC, it could even mean an actual death sentence. At bare minimum it is an immediate removal from the party as far as I know.
