Was the Holocaust a "system"? Was Mao's "Cultural Revolution" a system? Was Stalin's purges of his enemies a system? Was Vietnam's "re-training schools" a system? Not hardly. They were instituted by evil men behaving in an evil manner. To consider them or the Spanish Inquisition an inherently evil institution or system apart from the men that planned and committed these evils is ludicrous.

Systems and institutions are meaningless without people (good or evil) to implement them and carry them out. It always comes back to the same fundamental principle, people behaving in a manner that is good or evil.
