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 appreciate the sentiment and its not like some of these types don’t deserve it, but in all seriousness execution isn’t a silver bullet and shouldn’t be the goal of any communist society. When it’s needed it’s needed, but it isn’t the primary solution to any problem.
I do think death sentences with reprieve (ie they aren’t actually executed unless they try to do more corruption) are a pretty solid approach for high level offenders caught doing major corruption, send them on an emperor puyi journey to live a normal life… but for lower level corruption offences different approaches are needed.
