I have no idea who the system is in terms of names. Soros, Clinton, Rothschild, these would be reasonable guesses but nothing more. At the very least these people are corrupt, but maybe that's all they are, maybe they just play the game well.
One thing I do not believe is that the general public have the democratic power to enforce change. On the rare occasion it looks like change might happen, bad things happen. See JFK. The powers that be, whatever you want to call them, will not tolerate any threats to their existence.
"The System" does sound like conspiracy nonsense, yes. That implies there's some invisible power structure scheming behind the scenes for world domination.
Of course people in power will want to stick to their power, especially if they're career politicians. That's not just power hungry greed, that's their profession and livelihood.
Of course people who are well off will try to maintain the status quo. Even many people who are not will fight against any change, because they perceive it as a threat.
The democratic power to change is very real, and there's numerous examples of it working. Do you have any non-conspiracy examples of it not working?

There's a lot to unpack here. So athletes, private businesses and celebrities are also "system"? Do you mean that "the system" is everyone except private citizens whose names aren't widely known? How on earth would BLM threaten the existence of athletes and celebrities, unless they happen to be racist? What would perhaps be more telling, is that how many governments and police departments have endorsed BLM, but even that doesn't say anything. Neither governments, police departments, businesses nor athletes are hive-minds or centrally controlled homogenous masses, they consist of individuals with different opinions and morals. Some may support BLM while other may not. But I can guarantee you not one of them spend time worrying about the existence of "the system".
