«Worship» is a primitive paradigm that may work for nomadic goat herders but is repugnant and a perversion in
civilized society whether it be hollywood worship, sports team worship, political party worship or deity worship.
So from socialist view the corruption is with the peons, with more
civilized society the corruption is mostly concerned with policy and actions of top government officials [
whether regional or national]- the idea being that government leadership guides and is responsible for the entire government.
