Historical materialism reveals the foundation of the existence and development of human society. In the long history and the history of human development, heroes have played a certain role. However, the creators of history are not heroes, but the broad masses of the people. Heroes are useless without the support of the people.
The so-called heroes are created by the times, that is, at an appropriate time, heroes use their abilities to guide the development of social and historical trends. At this time, the hero has a chance to show himself. Take the revolution as an example.
The revolutionary leaders are a group of intellectuals and advanced groups. We say they are heroes. The revolutionary group led by them is made up of the people. The people are the main force of the revolution. Is the main force of a mystery. Moreover, the people created material resources and advanced material civilization, and then heroes were born.
Historical activities are always completed by the people, who are the subject and creator of history. It is the people who decide the direction and process of historical development, and it will never be the activity of any one person. Therefore, heroes are only leaders, not creators of history.
