I’ll admit I don’t know enough about transparency in communist societies, but you need to read up on the experiments done on human behaviour in power structures. It is fascinating and scary.
I have done so already. There is no such thing as a supernatural corrupting force, as I already stated. Instead, people’s lived existence, how they live, work, produce, revieve, etc. is what shapes their thoughts and thinking. How else can you explain that some people seem “immune” to this corrupting force you speak of? You leap to supernatural explanation, though unintentional, rather than engaging with a materialist explanation.
I do recommend you research socialist systems run by communist parties. They do not operate the way you have assumed.
Not about to get into a pantomime back and forth here, but to satisfy your curiosity.Psychology is a personal area of study. I often read the BPS and APA, though my primary interest is Developmental psychology so I prefer the BJP most months. If I had more patience for statistics I’d have made a career of it.

You’ve never read a single peer reviewed paper on the subject.
