Eliminating Corruption

If you pay politicians the equivalent to those on the private sector (e.g. consultants) then corruption would not be as rife.

Communism is unrealistic etc.. It ignores the fundamentals of reality.

Ideology, ethics, morality, religion, much of philosophy and all the freedom and rights people have fought for, the entire thing, is pretty much about getting people to act more like they would under some utopia like communism. Now at first this seems like an argument in favor of communism but really it just proves that communism doesn't teach us anything new or solve any problems, it's just an abstract theory about what is best (which is still up for debate, "people like to own shit" Zappa), not a practical theory about how to make things better like libertarianism.

Yeah, sure, capitalism is about greedy and greedy people can do mean things, however greed also motivates people to work hard and work smart and in the real world you need this to build a decent economy so you can solve material problems. Obviously we should limit capitalism when it oversteps it's bounds rather than totally eliminate it.
