>2. Individuals do not make history. Populations do.
This moronically puerile line is plenty enough that I won’t waste my time reading the rest. Individuals DO make history. Individuals do most everything of note. About the only noteworthy things crowds do is riot.

To think of history as a series of people who changed our course is to subscribe to the Great Man theory of history. The Great Man theory went out of fashion in the 1800s.
OH! It went out of FASHION in the 1800s. Out of fashion, therefore it isn't correct. Since it went out of fashion, what have we had?
Napoleon
Garibaldi
Nietzsche
Marx
Freud
Darwin
Edison
Dewey
Bismarck
Theodore Roosevelt
Margaret Sanger
Francisco Franco
Adolf Hitler
Josef Stalin
Winston Churchill
Mahatma Gandhi
The Rosenburgs
Mao Tse-Tung
Ho Chi Minh
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Ronald Reagan
Geroge Soros
If this handful of people never existed, the world would be substantially the same, since the "Great Man" theory went out of fashion.
