So you're doubling down on Great Man Theory and are an Idealist, rather than a Materialist, got it.

Please tell me your opinion instead of making baseless sarcasm. We are all for an ideal, right?

It's not baseless sarcasm.

Great Man Theory places the course of history on the shoulders of influential figures, rather than the Material Conditions at hand.

We are all in favor of idealistic conditions, but Idealism is not the same as that. Idealism is, to put it simply, putting vibes and ideas over the practical reality of situations.
