I agree with a lot of what Peter says, but I feel that his vision is not possible to implement in the world of today. This inherent need for humans to gain unfair advantage over others (some call it power), will always be there. It can't be eliminated. However, it can be reduced and controlled. I am going to probably get a lot of hate, but if objectively analyzed USSR had it very close. Corruption was almost eliminated. And small instances of corruption that did manifest were negligible. It is hard to get ultimate power where not only the system doesn't permit it, but also society is built on the principle of it not existing. Results were pretty amazing, but of course in the West are greatly underplayed. USSR successfully removed if not completely eliminated: crime, greed, unemployment, illiteracy, many health issues, racism, feminism, and much more. Many former USSR citizen miss certainty for the future that they lost after USSR collapsed. In USSR, each citizen was guaranteed to have access to education/healthcare/childcare/employment for free. Corruption on the level we see it in USA is possible, because the system not only allows it, but it encourages it.
