Honestly I don’t trust people who wield great power without being a little corrupt. Like don’t tell me you’re not corrupt, no one believes that. Just tell me that you use your absolute power for relatively harmless shit like cutting to the front of the line at movies or having the security forces smuggle illegal cigarettes for you.
If I ever become General Secretary of the World Communist Party I’m definitely using my clout for getting free house cleaning service, I hate chores.
