Che Guevara


Ruso

Recommended Posts

Che was a terrific man that thought that violence was the only way to achieve political victory of US backed regimes in the world. He never put enough emphasis however on his own wit and charisma in the events that have shaped his life. He grew up as a normal middle class argentine and upon many journeys got a bone for travel. Upon traveling he saw how US economic imperialism was destroying the Latin Americans, except for a few. He was never really versed in Marxist doctrine thoroughly especially in economics until he was placed in charge of Cuba's economy. However, he was at odds with the USSR as soon as he figured their true intentions in Cuba. Especially how they emphasized the sugar cane industry and would not support Ches desire to diversify the economy. He was however out in the Cane fields cutting with the folks and put way to much faith in human drive. He thought that everyone would be so excited about serving their fellow man that he proposed way too much than could be realized. When his economics were based soley on the benefit of people, not worry about money, the USSR reprimaned him and this is where him and Castro split on issues. This would start his move towards spreading the revolution. After he denunciation of the USSR in Algiers he went to Africa and was nearly killed... after that, he had nothing but the idea, and he died with the idea of how a true man should live in society. This is the most beautiful thing about Che, he was not above anything and would never ask more than he himself would give. He did feel more comfortable in the fight with a gun than behind a desk, but that is because he thought it was the only way to liberate his people. I think he was a great man that, once again, peoples personal biases leads them to conclusions without knowing the facts.
