The realist theory stating that "human nature is corrupt" seems like a simple way to explain any difficulty within the boundaries of a state; however, I believe the theory is flawed. I tend to side with the liberal view that humans are innately good. People (in general) are born with a desire for peace, stability, and happiness. Whenever we cannot obtain these things it leads to corruption. (Theory #1)

In WWII Germany the weakness
of the state lead to the rise of the Nazi party, who promised to return prosperity to the country.

After the events of September 11th, America needed a leader to help them through it. When the Bush Regime decided to invade Iraq, few questions were asked due to the fragility of the state.

When the state is weak, it turns to corruption as its savior.
I have been a fan of the realist theory. It has been true is most cases whether it's philosophically flawed or not.

But I agree with you. State weakness leads to corruption.
