> a certain type of enterprise-related corruption, that can't be brushed away

If a system of government promotes X then there will appear X-related corruption. Capitalist governments promote enterprises, thus appears enterprise-related correction. Governments which promote the church will foster church-related corruption, etc. etc..

I don't see how this observation about capitalism is a particularly interesting one. Perhaps you could make some ground with "and capitalism uniquely allows this corruption to flourish on a scale never seen before" but that's not what I've seen in these kind of kneejerk criticisms.

Governments which are the party will promote party corruption. [looks at China] Yup. Checks out.
