"The quality of ideas seems to play a minor role in mass movement leadership. What counts is the arrogant gesture, the complete disregard of the opinion of others, the singlehanded defiance of the world. "
-Eric Hoffer
Hoffer's got that right. If the quality of ideas played a significant role then history wouldn't be rife with instances of Leftists coming to power and subsequently committing atrocities against the people because their ideas necessitated doing so.
