capitalism, socialism, or communism. While the principles are different, The basic truth is not. Throughout history, no matter what form of government, there has always been one basic fundamntal truth; there are the "haves" and the "have nots." Even in the supposedly economically equal governments like Socialism and communism, the corrupt leaders and influentiel people live filthy rich off the backs of the poor working stiffs who kill themselves trying to make a living "chasing the proverbial carrot" Until corruption is eliminated, no form of government will make things better.

the problem is capitalism. If every member of the gov was voted in by the people and could be "un-voted" at any time for any reason, it would not be corruptible. That in essence is communism

Well, I think it would also be corruptible because of an information problem. But it is true that decentralization and transparency will help a lot to make management/governance system corruptionless

" because of an information problem."
That was a problem in the USSR, but it turned out getting the information to stalin was the problem. The treatment of gays in gulags was one example, he literally went there himself to see what was going on and put a stop to it once he found out.
The problem boils down to opportunists. Opportunists must simply be noticed as such, that has literally been the only problem.

Do you think there's a good third way? With reference to your last sentence, could something else make things better?

There is no better way. While all forms tout their pros, as long as corruption exists they all fail. Without some form of government, we have anarchy, which is survival of the fittest. But it also wreeks of corruption.

My statement about Anarchy was not a definition of it's philosophy, but about how mankind corrupts everything. The principles of Socialism, communism, and capitalism are sound, but when put into practice, greedy individuals exploit all the loopholes to benefit themselves.

the problem is every socialist country is that it literally let non-socialists get into power and destroy it. The problem is not enough socialism leads to corruption.
