It seems that almost every system is susceptible to cronyism sooner or later, even with proper safeguards. It makes me think how it might look in a "post-capitalist" system.

Every system appears to be prone to rulers (capitalist, socialist, royal, whatever) eventually accumulating enough power and being removed so far from ordinary people that they can get away with all kinds of corruption.

I'm not actually sure that there is any real solution to this. Anarcho-syndicalism so far looks most promising to me - but then again, I fear that if Noam Chomsky explained how the solution is "more cheese", I'd probably find the argument compelling enough.
