Eventually you run out of monsters to fill the position (and the supporting positions below). At that point you now have people willing to make positive changes in the world in positions of power

That is not how it works at all, and it's actually a very childish way of thinking. There is not some finite pool of monsters these positions of power draw from, the positions of power make the monsters. "Power corrupts" is the most common trope in fiction since the advent of fiction for a reason and it's baffling that so many people still don't get it.

Insisting that tropes are universally true just because they're repeated is absurd. It's something a child would think up.

Go look at history. There's plenty of examples of people who do the right thing when in positions of power. This is because power doesn't corrupt - it reveals who people truly are. It's just that selfish people are more likely to seek out power for personal gain.
