Corruption is nonconstructivity. Corrupters assume otherwise. The alternative is ripping off someone, which corrupters assume to be brilliance.

Corrupters assume that winners rip off losers who do the work. That mentality worked during the stone ages, where manual labor was the essence of the economy. Now days, it doesn't produce the competitiveness that economies require.

Ripping off the losers makes them less competitive. It takes rationality with knowledge derived from science and applied to engineering to produce competitiveness. Corrupters throw a wrench into the entire process by stripping away rationality and reducing purposes to enhancing their power.

Corrupters never get beyond themselves and the power of their group. They use social structures and government for no other purpose but enhancing the power of their group.

Social structures become nonfunctional when overwhelmed by corrupters, because there is no other purpose that corrupters have but promoting themselves at the expense of everyone else.

Whether making deals is good or bad, there has to be a lot more to a constructivity process. Constructivity requires rationality applied to the solution to problems. A complex methodology is required for constructivity and it is not automatic; it requires a lot of applied rationality.

Corrupters assume that realities can be pretended into existence and rationality just gets in the way. If pretense does nothing, rationality is needed for constructivity and corrupters are wrong about the worthlessness of rationality.

The mentality of pretending reality into existence disconnects from the production process. Once objects become relevant, a disconnect from reality makes objects nonfunctional. Trying to sell nonfunctional objects in not competitive.

Then there is the assumption that competitiveness can be replaced by rip-off. It's the criminal mentality. It only works in the mindless bubble of destroyers. Modern economies don't work that way.

Rational persons tend to assume everyone knows these rudimentary facts. What corrupters overtaking the social structures show us is that corrupters don't know these simple facts. Corrupters actually assume that rip-off criminality is brilliance and the social order runs on nothing.

Anthropologists can't figure out why so many stone edifices were produce thousands of years ago. Corrupters presently taking over the social structures provide the evidence. There were no governmental laws or unions protecting workers rights. So rulers tested and developed slavery as the basis for the social economy by creating large projects which maximized the complexity of slave economies. Of course, a religious pretense sanctified the project, but the workers would have been well aware of the sacrilegious fraud involved. They always are.
