Just to say People are all evil and corrupt is too simple. Which people do you mean, what do you mean by evil and corrupt? What makes people act evil and corrupt? Maybe, you should be more precise in your argumentation.
The second thing: we can hear the People are all evil and corrupt stuff a thousand times day by day from sociologists, psychiatrist, religious and political leaders and lawyers. They say it because it is a great way for them to let the majority of human material know that they depend on states, laws, restrictions and of course on the monetary system.
The third thing: You have said: "...leaders of the system want us to focus on the system not the people RUNNING the system...". Exactly the opposite is the case. Have a look on democracy for example: Media focus us on this or that leader of this or that party to make us vote for them without giving precise and objective information about function of democracy and the relationship between democracy and capitalism. We are not focused on the system, we are focused on persons, on leaders, on parties and on their disputes.
The fourth thing: "...No group of people on the planet past or future was ever...". It is not sensible to care about the past because it already has happened, forget it. History is a perfect excuse for acting now as dumb as people used to act in the past. Nietzsche has a great writing about the function of history for our life, the title: "Vom Nutzen und Nachteil der Historie für das Leben". Care about now, our present time. And the future? I don't have a clue about the future, so it is useless to debate about it.
