"History can never be made by one man,
we must smash this one quickly.
History is made only by the masses of
the people, this is clear. Even a cursory
glance at the fallacious presentation of
History by the American Capitalist system,
will demonstrate just this. Take George
Washington, as bad as he is... put him in
the middle of Valley Forge, by himself,
surrounded by the British, he can do nothing.
Take Martin Luther King as righteous as he is...
put him in the middle of Birmingham by himself,
speaking out against racism, he would be lynched.
But you take this same King, you take this same
Washington put them in Valley Forge, put them in
Alabama surround them with thousands of people
who have the same ideas they do, willing to make
those ideas reality and the situation changes drastically."
