“But 500+ years of corruption doesn’t go away overnight.”

Especially after, what, 71 straight years of rule by one political party? That’s bound to foster tons of corruption by that party, and no doubt the expectation or necessity for any other party to do the same if it was elected.

Quite frankly, there was plenty of political corruption before the Second Mexican Revolution and their current politics. Read about Porfirio Daz sometime. Hell, read about the hacienda system that existed for centuries. You can’t put it all on the PRI. There was a whole world of corruption before they ever came along.
