Most of our fellow citizens already associate the state with "corruption" due to that agenda, unfortunately. There is a cultural barrier to be won here. Tech has always branded itself as "revolutionary" and utopianistic, we could and should use that for good.

The problem of the corruption rhetoric is that people think the government is not doing what it should, when in fact the government is actually doing EXACTLY what it was supposed to do, which is upholding the interests of the dominant class. The government under capitalism is corrupt by nature, and democracy is just a lie we are told every day.
