You could say the same thing for every revolutionary ever.

Gavrilo Princip was just some angsty kid who wanted to fit in with his fellow revolutionaries. He still succeeded at starting a world war.

Every organization is composed mainly of followers, even ones that have recognizably brought progress to our world.

I don't think Gavrilo Princip is a great role model.
Of course not, but you were arguing that conformists can't move revolutions forward (whether for good or for bad).

That claim is demonstrably false.
