I think you've lost it Vam. I'm an unlikely Pope of any kind. The whole point really is not to become that kind of figure and to allow people into some form of genuine learning. This is not a forum for long explanation or exegesis. I don't think you grasp much of the problem that focus on the existential hero brings or what we can demonstrate in fair historical review. I rather liked Gandhi's view of direct democracy, but disliked much of his writing as racist and in his urgings to people to have no fear of death through belief in god - though one can see something rather decent in the idea of lying down in front of Nazis itself, rather than urging others to do it. I am much less interested in him than the conditions of possibility around him, as with other issues in the history of ideas. The individual is rarely important other than as some stiff who stands up and does the right thing as far as I'm concerned.
