Power of the People
"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."
