socialdemocrat didn't claim no corruption, simply not the same degree.

Corruption in Europe is different, and often more subtle, than in the US (have lived and worked in both) but I do feel that over the 30 years the US has really gotten a lot worse compared to the EU countries.

Eastern EU countries would disagree.

Sadly, that's a fair point.

The corruption also flourished during communism, but in different apparent form. Before communism, I don't know. (But the Habsburg empires I expect were deeply corrupt too - but the "west" was deeply corrupt too so it also gets difficult to compare.)

But that's at a "state" level.
