Under capitalism, capital will always accumulate into the hands of the shareholders. Those with the capital will always find a way to influence politicians into deregulating, no matter how many anti-corruption measures you put in place. We’ve seen this happen over and over for as long as capitalism has existed.
We need a fundamental change in the system that prevents capital from accumulating. That change would be socialism, where the workers collectively own the means of production, rather than it being owned privately by the shareholders.
Consider this - get 2-3 anonymous people with a gun per politician, give them all access, and the moment they even think politian took any bribe, they are to shoot him in the head and whole roster of gun folk is switched.
That change would be socialism, where the workersworkers’ self-appointed representatives own the means of production, rather than it being owned privately by the shareholders.
If you would stop bending my words for a moment, you would realize that I’m advocating for direct ownership by the workers, not some phony representative democracy. Any system with hierarchies of decision-making power, even supposedly self-appointed ones, will always corrupt.

But also pay politicians really well.
Let the fear take over <3
We’ve been down this road. We know where it ends.

And how would the workers exercise that “direct” ownership? Workers aren’t a hive mind. There will always be hierarchies.
