"people learned from the horrors of the 20th century that socialism inevitably leads to rampant corruption, suffering and genocide?"

That's not due to socialism but totalitarianism and corruption.

There have been plenty of corrupt totalitarians on the right too, but apparently no one's learned any lessons there, except how to emulate them.

Unfortunately, socialism isn’t a solution for corruption. In fact, many would argue that the centralized power makes it easier/inevitable.
