I completely disagree. Blaming individuals instead of the system just perpetuates the system that causes the problems.
Under Stalin, any problem within the Soviet Union was blamed on 'corrupt' administrators and politicians, and they were promptly removed from their position. There was nothing wrong with the system; the system was perfect! You just have to get rid of the bad apples.
This mentality rationalizes the existence of institutionalized injustice and oppression, and makes people disillusioned but merely apathetic of the only logical conclusion to that system.
EVERYTHING is wrong under capitalism because it's based on arbitrary guidelines and proclaims ideals contradictory to their praxis.
EVERYTHING is wrong with centralism because it's based on the distrust of the people it claims are good enough to maintain it.
