I'm not sure who you're suggesting would be corrupt but I'd say two of the strongest weapons against corruption (outside of economic development, stronger audits and respect for the rule of law) are minimising / eliminating bureaucracy wherever possible and making all processes entirely transparent - much more possible with newer technologies.

That's not really anything to do with communism or capitalism though - as I've mentioned before, there are capitalist states with higher rates of corruption than in the existing state-socialist systems. A lot of it is cultural acceptance of certain practices ("greasing the wheel") and in other cases state employees are criminally underpaid. Putting underpaid people in position of authority (e.g. in awarding contracts of very high value) is asking for trouble, especially if you don't have proper audit processes in place.
