"If people do make history, as this democratic view suggests, then two people make twice as much history as one."
If those people are isolated, this may be true, but if they are able to communicate, interact, and cooperate, to me it follows that the whole would be greater than the sum of the parts.

Only if you don't count the communication/interaction/cooperation networks as being a part of the whole.
