  • A beautiful video and song to honour a great man

    

  • Oh God I've wondered into Obama-supporter territory again. Silly leftists, civil war is coming and you're all going to die.

  • @abcshopper fuck your mother cunt, the revolution is gonna tear a whole in your Yankee fucks ass, and obama will be the first to die

  • @Styliempire You can't even get your grammar correct. What makes you think you can do the math required to snipe someone from 700 yards? Or perform proper room breach and clears? On top of that you’ve just threatened the life of the president. Do you know that the instant you posted that, algorithms picked up your words and you’re now on the federal radar? Good luck with that genius.

  • @Styliempire hahahahaha just like your capitalist media, twisting words, i never said i would kill him, i said he will be the first to die. And i dont think your feds really care what an Australian thinks. Your President will be killed by his own people for his blatant attacks on their civil liberties and his gross violations of human rights around the world.

    But fuck it. If i had the capabilities I'd wipe out your whole fucking congress.

    FUCK THE USA, and death to the coalition.

  • ¡Hasta la victoria siempre!

  • love this song

  • hahaha the imerialist dogs will fight for their precious gold and we the workers will fight for the right of all humans to exist, not just yanks and the rich!

    hasta la victoria siempre Comandante!

    eleftheria i thanatos!

  • @tomacontadogajo Love you brother!

    Sacrifice is the blood of the revolution.

    hasta la victoria siempre !!!!

  • @tomacontadogajo She is so lucky!

  • @TWIleaks fuck you state puppet, subjugated slave

  • @Styliempire Your answer only shows how stupid you are. I'm free to give my opinion, as you are. But I dont need to tell people F**** You to show them my poin of view. As I know, a slave is a person who has no power to give opinions. So, Im not a slave. Next time, try to think before giving a bad answer.

  • @TWIleaks an opinion that is based on state propaganda is merely a slave repeating his master.

    Any one who has a problem with communism has a problem with equality and the freedom of conscience

  • @Styliempire Whats wrong with you? Why do you think that my opinion is based on state propaganda? I have a brain.And yes, I have a problem with communism. We have Cuba , ex-Russia and North Corea (were people are starving) to show us how the communism destroyed those countries. The communism is an utopia, because there will always be an dictator on the backgrounds.

  • @TWIleaks US trade embargo's on Cuba and North Korea are the reason people are starving in those countries. USA bully tactics on those that dont bend to their will has resulted in millions of human beings murdered in the last 65yrs of Imperialist aggression.

    As for Russia, they have a more stable economy than the USA.

    Dont believe state run media, USA is dying economically, which is why they are starting illegal wars in an effort to gain tradable goods.

    USA= Evil Empire of Greed and Dishonour!!

  • @Styliempire Che Guevara predicted this.

  • great men, wrong direction

  • Che Guevara was a sadistic, psychopathic brutal mass murderer--the perfect Marxist hero.

  • @eclecticdufus And you a troller this is not better

  • @eclecticdufus can't people like you take your sadistic psychopathic brutal mass-murderer messages and shove it so far up your ass where your head is and also where your messages belong and shut the fuck up americunt

  • @HabanaLibre1959 your reaction proved my point idiot.

  • hail comrade

    you are flowing in my heart,

    you are a farmer,

    you are a great leader,

    you are a worker,

    you are death to wrong, god to right,

    you are my red love ......... from India

  • "...I am a first generation Cuban, my Dad got to watch Che himself put a bullet into my Grandfathers head, because he was too slow getting Che's tea..."

    Not by me. Someone else said that on the internet. Do you think it could be true?

  • @Behemoth2334 Most likely. Totalitarian sadistic butchers are known to do that kind of thing.

  • @Behemoth2334

    Take note that there are some who constantly spam the page with hate messages. As for your question, ab-fuckin-surd. I would've believed it for a second if cohiba esplendidos were the case, instead of tea.

    He killed a lot of people but it's not on record that he killed people for such insignificant reasons. And I'm not gonna take some guy's word over dozens of documents, most condemning Che...

  • you keep saying the innocent...which innocent?

  • You are all sick and no different from a nazi.

  • @cpr10 when everyone is sick...in a village and where ever,.....we all need a cure...we all can believe in!...Somewhere everyhuman BEING including me have a feeling something is wrong.....we all want to see something that makes us realise!...Soon i hope this will be a thing we all see!....Someone sayed..."Blessed are those who do not need to believe!" Something will change soon...and we THE PEOPLE will all see it!

  • @cpr10

    Blessed are tje people that belive without seeing!

  • @cpr10 GODWIN ! :'D /check

  • @cpr10 GODWIN ! :'D /check

  • για παντα και μεχρι τη νικη!

  • "Why does the guerrilla fighter fight? We must come to the inevitable conclusion that the guerrilla fighter is a social reformer, that he takes up arms responding to the angry protest of the people against their oppressors, and that he fights in order to change the social system that keeps all his unarmed brothers in ignominy and misery."

    — Che Guevara

  • "This epic before us is going to be written by the hungry Indian masses, the peasants without land, the exploited workers. An epic that will be carried forward by our peoples, mistreated and scorned by imperialism; our people, unreckoned with until today, who are now beginning to shake off their slumber. Imperialism considered us a weak and submissive flock; and now it begins to be terrified of that flock; in whom Yankee monopoly capitalism now sees its gravediggers.”

    — Che Guevara

  • i love the lyrics of this song..a great tribute to a hero's hero!

    VIVA CHE!! the most complete human being that ever walked the earth..

  • A tribute to a sick SOB. He killed people for the fun of it. Even Castro knew this and sent him off to be killed. He told his men to fight to the end. He got lost, he surrendered with bullets in his gun. He was shot and left to rot in the jungle. He is no hero to the oppressed. You idiots that worship him, he would have just as soon killed you as looked at you.

  • @1980PintoMan Che Guevara was a great revolutionary fighting a war killing people was something that had to be done.

  • VIVA CHE!

    His legacy lives on with the majority of the worlds oppressed as a Hero, whether you rich Westerners like it or not.

  • @Bigsui31 Funny, he would have killed you for the fun of it.

  • @1980PintoMan Haha. There is no indication of that. He never killed for fun. He did kill Batistas henchmen and torturers, which he is justified in doing so.

  • @Bigsui31 i would have done the same fucking thing

  • @Bigsui31

    Is that right? what about all the innocent people he slaughtered? and what about the labour camps for homosexuals ? of course that's just propaganda isn't it?

  • Did Che kill people? Yes he did. Were they innocent? Maybe, maybe not.

    Did the US Government kill Native Americans? Yes! Were they innocent? Yes!

    Because of that fact, I don't think americans have a right to ever point the finger at another world leader.

  • Trust John Lee Anderson over that raving lunatic Humberto Fontova, who is upset because a member of his criminal family was rightly executed by Castros freedom fighters. :)

  • Che was a Murdering Bastard-- The CIA did a GREAT SERVICE Exterminating this Rat

  • @nancyyt1a

    Who did he murder?

    Batsita's cowardly thugs and rapists! He freed his country from the facist yoke!

  • @MrReco12 Exactly Che Guvara did not murder any policts ...... He just gave the pepole medical health and was hiden in the forrest so nowan could find him. Unlike any other revoluationary this one is the most brave man that ever lived.

  • @nancyyt1a the U.S govement did such a great service? And then went on to fund the Taliban as an anti communist cell. The U.S goverment also funded Pol Pot, and bombed rice fields in 'Nam and Cambodia killing 100,000 civilians. Then decades later the U.S would spear head a military campaign into the east, using the guile of anti terrorism, solely to plunder millions of dollars in natural recourses. Yes, well done America, the land of hypocrisy.

  • Respect for Che, a rebel with a cause.

  • at the end of the day he will be remembered for ever.... wherever he was a hero or terrorist or just a psychopath killer or ...... etc ..............

    and all of u hater or lover are going to be forgotten

    stop that and go do something with ur life

    peace

  • @Verification11 true that

  • @Verification11

    Yeah he will be remembered

    Just as hitler will remembered for long time :P

    As a Psychopath.

    Not as a hero

  • @Verification11 Che Guevara wouldve kicked your ass for this glorification. He was the impersonation of his conditions. These conditions keep growing on the workers and finally other men will impersonate their times and finish the work of the Che (or will fail).Anyways, praising him and hating on "forgotten" people is exactly what Che was fighting. Workers of all countries unite and rise. Sorry for my bad english

  • @20sept2008 your English is way better than me and most native speakers .. although i'm not a native speaker

    anyway thanks for this info .. i didn't read much about che only saw a documentary and read about him on wiki

    and somehow i like his style heheheh i know very shallow

    anyway i hope u all the best

  • @Verification11 if you do not only like his style but also are interested in his political analysis, I recommend reading Marx. If you have any questions concerning what to read or something, you can of course ask me. I wish you all the best.

  • @Verification11 You make an easy comment by just sitting on the fence. Che was a hero and we should follow in his footsteps! Viva la revolution!

  • 1:47 moment before his assassination.

  • Great Personality he was,

    After many centuries the man are born like him.

    RED SALUTE

    GREETING FROM

    BALOCHISTAN

  • Che's haters love to speak of some "Che cult." Fact is, Che has no more cult than does Washington or Bolivar. He's on t-shirts because he lived - and died - for an idea. He literally put his life on the line for those less fortunate that he was. It was also a great pic.

    No, to call Che's admirers a cult is silly. His detractors are vastly more obsessed with discrediting the man than anyone is with vindicating him - as if he needed it. Best thing to do is let them rant in their echo chamber.

  • @IPlayWithFire135 Actually most Che lovers are mindless morons

  • @IPlayWithFire135

    You know Hitler also died for an idea. Although I can't fault the next sentence.

  • @WSWarthog

    So Hitler comparisons are the new tactic of the hate cult? From which recycled annual attack book did you get that?

  • @IPlayWithFire135

    Hitler's very versatile for making comparisons. All I'm saying as that to die for an idea isn't necessarily as great as it might sound at first.

  • @WSWarthog

    Ok, I understand what you're saying. Sorry if I was abrasive there.

  • Sad how a mass murderer can have history twisted over time to become a hero to unhappy young people. I have observed now, over many years that lies always find an audience among young 'seekers' of 'the truth', Established FACTS are ignored & dismissed by them, as they think those people who wrote the history are evil & aren't telling the truth, to 'Keep Control'. Misguided folks feel energized by being against any information they don't want to believe, because it comes from 'The Establishment"

  • @AmiableAndy The fact of the matter is that Che Guevara was a communist who believed that the means are always justified by the ends. He luxuriated in violence against human beings. He was indeed a mass murderer and a terrorist who found great delight in being judge, jury and executioner. He also loved to physically torture people to a slow excruciating death; it made him feel like God. Pity the young fools who think black is white and good is bad. Wake up and get real, young folks!

  • the good, creativ, intelligent people are not looking after money and power,,they want to make the world better,,capitalism and rich people self justify only.

  • "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill

  • If Che had his way there would be no internet. A Capitalistic product. So all you Che "supporters" get off the internet or stop supporting him. It's hypocrisy 

  • @loserman243 Exactly! These guys in my film class had his image in their "film." Did they realize that they would be dictated to as to precisely what films they were allowed to make, if any at all, after all, they might be more useful in the factory. The central planners know best......and it's all for the greater good.

    Che would have dictated what was art, what was music, what was original, what was important.........

    These slaves.

  • @11KmPerSec I agree completely

  • @loserman243 In case you have forgotten, the internet can be a great revolutionary tool. And besides, the internet was first conceived of in the 60's.

  • @HoLOLcaust Thus proving communist hypocrisy using capitalism to further their support

  • @loserman243 The internet is a global system of connected computer networks. It's not a "capitalistic product", whatever that means.

    @11KmPerSec All nations are a house of cards. The US, shining example of capitalism that it is, has also collapsed. It just hasn't crashed yet because they keep borrowing trillion after trillion to prop up the failed system. All these collapses are less the result of any particular economic system, and more a result of international banking practices.

  • @onebigeye So you believe that if someone works hard, goes to college, and lives on his/her own self-sufficiently doesn't deserve to make more than the asshole who leaches off the government?

  • @loserman243 I don't know how you got that out of what I wrote, as I didn't imply anything like that, but I think what you said there is true. Of course, it seems that everyone except the working man is leeching off the government these days, including banks and companies like GM.

    Like it or not, the US is splitting into two systems, socialism for the leechers (welfare / bailouts) and good ol' hard work and paying taxes for the hard working people who want to be self sufficient.

  • @onebigeye I agree with you. My reference was to the enduring myth that somehow European welfare societies are better off than the US (which is also becoming a welfare society whether you own a billion dollar car company or the only thing you own is bad drug habit.

  • Many, MANY Thanks!

  • Two thumbs waaaayyy down! What a terrible little tune. Why not post it right next to a love song for Adolf and maybe throw in a little praise for Polpot to round things out! Detestable!

  • @TheRiverRat00

    You ignorant fool. Ask the people of Cuba what they think, they should have a pretty informed opinion on the matter. Of course he killed people, it was war. He waged war against fascist US puppets.

    Hitler & Pol Pot is exactly the kind of people he would rally against.

    Calling Che a mass murderer is like calling the allied soldiers under WW2 mass murderers. He did what had to be done to free a people.

    Try to read a book.

  • @TheRiverRat00 Except Che was a good guy, not some painter who just so happened to like being a dictator.

  • @HoLOLcaust Che killed thousands for what..... COMMUNISM witch failed after 70 years witch is horrible for the people

  • Tenía una de las dos manos de este hijo de puta y se la comió mi perro. Sorry

  • Che murdered hundreds of people, and killed many many more. He was a mass murderer, why some people praise him baffles me.

  • @agent4844

    oh come on, do you think the people who executed Eichmann were also Murderers? Che executed facists.

  • @MrReco12

    One of the people executed under Che's orders was Rigoberto Hernandez. What was his "crime?" How was he a "thug and rapist," or "fascist?" Please explain.

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    Don't believe Humberto Fontova's revisionist lies. He is a supporter of Pinochet and Franco and a self righteous windbag. I doubt this " Rigoberto Hernandez" even existed. Another Humberto Fontova lie.

  • @MrReco12

    Ad hominem attacks against Fontova aren't the issue here. Your callous dismissal of Rigoberto Hernandez's plight is duly noted. After all, extremists (of the right and the left) defend their sides' atrocities by: 1) claiming that the atrocities never happened, and 2) claiming that the victims somehow "had it coming."

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    Give me an image of mr Rigoberto Hernandez than i will reconsider my view. I dont care about Fontova's tearful rantings.

    His criminal family was kicked out of Cuba and he has never gotten over it.

  • @MrReco12

    Again, ad-hominem attacks against Fontova are unimportant, since he's not the only one who has researched Fidel's (and Che's) crimes.

    I'm not surprised that a Che hagiographer would seek to justify the cruel execution of a 17-years-old mentally ill high school janitor. You're one of the many who've tried. Like other Che groupies, you inadvertently proved the wisdom of the old Talmudic adage: "those who are merciful toward the cruel will become cruel toward the merciful."

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    I doubt that action happened.

    Humberto Fontova is known for writing half truths and lies.

  • @MrReco12

    Of course you doubt it... Thank you for proving my earlier point of how political extremists of both the left and the right use the same style of arguments to wish away the crimes committed by their side.

    And, again, Fontova is not the only guy on the face of this planet who has catalogued Fidel's (and Che's) crimes. I bet that if Fontova were to say "the sky is blue," you'd say "no." LOL

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    have yet to find a single credible source pointing to a case where Che executed "an innocent". Those persons executed by Guevara or on his orders were condemned for the usual crimes punishable by death at times of war or in its aftermath: desertion, treason or crimes such as rape, torture or murder. * Jon Lee Anderson, author of Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life (1997),

  • @MrReco12

    Like most gullible Western researchers, Anderson accepted the "verdicts" handed down by Fidel's "revolutionary courts" at face value. Cuban dissidents like Armando Valladares pointed out that during his "trial," the judges smoked cigars and read comic books, knowing that the "sentences" had been approved in advance. Che himself dismissed the concept of actually providing evidence of the accused's alleged guilt. Moreover, Che began his killing career while still "in the bush.":=)

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    Nonsense. Cuban dissidents would say that because they want to smear the man who defeated them.

  • @MrReco12 - actually the fact that Che dismissed the concept of actually providing evidence of the accused's alleged guilt is known not from dissidents. It is known from the texts he himself wrote. This was not his original idea, he took it from Lenin, nevertheless he did not even pretend that he was attached to the idea of a fair trial.

  • @MrReco12 - If something is inconvenient for you, you call it lie.

  • @MrReco12 - Eichmann was put on trial and execiuted. Che executed without a trial. Finally he was also executed without a trial, which was worse than a murder, it was a mistake, because it made him a "martyr".

  • @OlenkaWagner

    What you fail to realise, Che's execution of criminals were applauded by most of the Cuban population. Indeed, when Castro asked a crowd of over 1 million if he should continue to execute right wing terrorists and their sympathizers. THe cry was SI TO THE WALL!!!!!!

  • @MrReco12 - But this is the idea of lynch. The trials were invented long time ago, because the desire of the crowd is not justice. The guilt has to be proved. The crowd might dislike someone, but that does not make him criminal. It is a bit like in science. We do not ask the crowd whether this or that is true. We do research on it and decide based on the results.

  • @MrReco12

    Wow... the commie government- sanctioned mob spoke english?

    BTW, Valladares was a journalist, not a man "defeated" by Che. After all, Che never defeated anyone, was notso-hotso at fighting, and only knew how to shoot mentally-ill teenagers in the head...

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    You know what i mean: They screamed "SI".

    Happy now?

    The only peson who i have seen mention that socalled "mentally disabled teenager" is the serial liar Humberto fontova who's cousin, a facist, was executed for his crimes against the people.

  • @MrReco12

    There's far more evidence that Che shot teenagers in the head than there's proof that Che was a guerrilla warfare genius. Dude, your labeling of Che's victims as "fascists" is getting rather stale. I suggest changing your repertoire :=)

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    Well, Che's "victims" were certainly not innocnet. If a child killer/rapist was executed would you call him a victim too?

  • @MrReco12

    Not a very convincing argument. You have no evidence that the teenagers (especially the mentally-ill youngster I've previously mentioned) shot by Che in the back of the head were child killers/ rapists. Try again. 

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    They were not teenagers but fully grown adults who worked for Batista's murderous regime. Humberto Fontova's make belief "victims" is laughable at best.

    Mean while: he praises PInochet who murdered a 13 yr old boy: By god,unlike Che's "victims" we actually have proof that he exists!

    CARLOS PATRICIO FARIÑA OYARCE

  • @MrReco12

    It's a familiar tactic of Che idol-worshippers to try to excuse his crimes by invoking Pinochet's repression in Chile (which occurred more than a decade later). Che's victims "fully grown adults who worked for Batista's murderous regime?" The executed youngster I mentioned previously was a high school janitor. You bought into the Che myth way too readily. May I suggest trying a more original tactic? :=)

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    Care to show me his image or any proof that this "high school janitor existed". if you google the name i gave you you can find his image and usally the brutal way he was killed by pinochets thugs. Yet, when i google your disabled teenager: I get a revisionist Humberto Fontova rant.(a blatant liar)

  • @MrReco12 No one is denying the existance of the Chilean you mentioned. With the advent of democracy in many Latin American countries (Chile, Brazil, etc), the archives of their former military regimes have been available, moreover, survivors and perpetrators of such regimes have given interviews to researchers. In Cuba, such opening has not taken place. Fontova's research (with his interviewing of eyewitnesses) must have really gotten under your skin. Try again, amigo :=)

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    Not really, indeed i find it laughable that he uses escaped Batsita's goons testimony to back his claims. He does whilie supporting Pinochet,Fracno etc.

  • @MrReco12

    Actually, none of the sources he has interviewed was one of "escaped Batista's goons [sic]." Moreover, other witnesses to Fidel's and Che's brutality have testified independently of Fontova's work. In order to bolster your argument, you need to name some names, otherwise, you're just regurgitating the decades-old talking points of the Cuban commie regime. Not a very original practice, by the way.:=)

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    Rubbish, the only people Fontova bothered to interview was Batisa's cronies, murderers of 20 000 innocent people. Of course his sadistic and terrorist father was part of the mass killing and thats why he belevies Batsitas torturers are a group of choir boys when in fact they were violent thugs who got what they deserved.

    He hates Castro and Che because members of his criminal family were shot for collaborating with Batista's regime.

    And rightly so :)

  • @MrReco12

    Eyewitnesses to Che's crimes were "Batista's cronies, murderers of 20 00 innocent peole?" You have an interesting sense of humor.

    "Castro remains undefeated?" Not exactly: he remains the increasingly senile leader of an empoverished island (among the poorest in the Americas), whose policies are defended by some rather gullible Westerners. Some of them have trolled with pro-Che messages on this very channel :=)

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    Cuba has a higher life expectancy than the united states!(one of the highest in Latin America) dispite the US embargo :)

    Cuban exilies have failed. And i find that delightful!

  • @MrReco12

    "Cuban exiles have failed?" You must have never been to southern Florida. Cuban "exiles' there have achieved prominent positions in business, arts, government, and other areas of endeavor (no surprise, since Cubans have traditionally been good entrepreneurs).

    "Cuba has a higher life expectancy than the united states?" LMAO

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    Its true, Sad isnti it?

    A country which they have economically blockaded for 50 years has a higher life expectancy than their own nation. Laughably sad!

    :)

  • @MrReco12

    Laughably sad that the Che death-cult devotees recycle the same discredited talking points. :)

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    And to add more: IF Che hadnt executed those thugs, it would have a distasteful unsult to the 20 000 people who were murdered by Batisitas dictatorship.

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    It would have been an INSULT to Bataista's victims if Che had not done what he had to do.

  • @MrReco12

    Yeah, right, like getting killed in Bolivia. Che was so greasy, he used bacon as a bandage. :)

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    No, it would have been an outrage if he had NOT executed the scum.

  • @MrReco12

    Oh, yes... those howling ghosts clamoring for the execution of mentally-ill teenage boys....

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    Again, you try to bolster your weak argument by mentioning fictional characters.

    Pathetic!

  • @MrReco12

    I appreciate your masquerading as a Che cultist, in order to expose the absurdity of their arguments, and their willingness to believe in every piece of fiction regarding their "hero." Great job, my friend.

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    SO now you are simply resorting to abuse.

    You must be a Cuban exile!

  • @MrReco12

    LOL. I'm not, but I appreciate your attempt, anyway. ;)

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    If you believe the conservative press, you'd think Castro and his evil henchmen, whilst stroking their beards and sinisterly twirling their mustaches, had "young boys" and "innocent" rightist politicians shot just for the Heck of it!

    Of course the real story is quite different from that. What our right wing friends choose to forget is the 20 000 murdered by Batista's regime, a govt that JFK admitted was the worst in south America.

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    You have to laugh at Cuban exiles like Humberto fontova, although their moaning and whining,because Che and Castro gave them a taste of their own medicine, does get irritating at times.

    Whats better, Castro Remains undefeated!

    What the Cuban exiles hate most :)

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    watch?v=Gz4M-zs3XL0&NR=1

    

  • Che is our topic at school at the moment.

    and we're going essays on him...so i've been looking into him for the past couple of days.

    why do i get the feeling che isn't the icon and hero he is made out to be?

    he used fear and propaganda to gain power.

    he killed innocent people..he had concentration camps that were full of just poor farmers.

    what did he do for Cuba?

    nothing.

    a friend of mine is cuban...and his family got murdered under che's orders.

    you people shouldn't be so gullible

  • @Cla900 You belive in the lies of the USA? Think, and not believe all the stupid things!

  • @Fritz540 no some of the information was from a friend of the family who is cuban.

    his whole family is cuban and they lived through the revolution.

  • @Cla900 Your cuban friends family must of been supporters of bastista the only people who were kill were people who supporters of bastista, and trust me Fulgenico Batista was much worst

  • @themarvster92

    Castro attempted to depose Batista until he was successful. and not for the right reasons...

    they certainly were not supporters of batista.

    Che has done nothing for Cuba.

    he threatened his people with fear and pain.

    he cuban government propaganda want you to think che is a hero..the us government don't.

    none of you can say you love che or not (not even me) unless you lived through the experience.

    we are clueless in the subject.

  • @Cla900 No i was born in cuba i left when i was 3yrs old my grandfather fought with castro and was a cuba guerrilla. cuba was worst under batista. cuba was exploit by

    mobs and foreign companys who ran prostitution ring, and owned land in cuba and exploit farm workers. Only wealthy people had access to education and health care. you should watchthis movie called CHE with benicio del toro it explains alot of why

    cuba had a revolution

  • Comment removed

  • @Cla900 and you are not clueless u can read a book and do some research on the subject.

  • @themarvster92

    and how do i know it isn't pure bullshit?

    i'll only believe the people who lived through the revolution.

    they're the only people you can trust.

  • @Cla900 And whats to say what you read in your textbook isn't bullshit, as a child che and castro were folk heros to us (even tho che was not cuban). they stood up and took a stand for the every day cuban. but living in america you get to see other peoples opinion on che, and i can respect there opinion but to me and my family che and castro are hero.

  • @themarvster92 well regardless, thanks for your opinion.

    and i don't read my information on che from a textbook. i read on the internet. and i hear good and bad things about che.

    i don't know what's true or false.

    but since my friend lived through the revolution and knows his stuff..im more likely to believe him

    but ....you say che is a hero.

    i just don't believe everything that i read.

    i'm not gullible.

    i'm not saying im right or wrong.

    but again, thank you.

  • @Cla900 i agree che means different things to different people u should watch that movie tho lol

  • @themarvster92 i will thank you :)

  • @Cla900

    What themarvster92 ignores about Fidel's Cuba:

    -Batista never executed 10 000 Cubans (Fidel and Che did).

    -Today, Cuba is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere (it was among the wealthiest before Fidel).

    -Before Fidel and Che, Cuba was a net immigration country (Fidel's parents were Spanish immigrants). Today, Cubans use a variety of flotation devices to reach the USA...

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    thank you!

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    If Cuba is poor now it's the Americans fault, they're the one imposing the embargo on Cuba... which is harmless nowadays.

    Their economy was strong because the country was like america, a banana republic where companies had all the power. Cubans live longer then Americans, they have better healthcare and medicare then americans, they are the best in the world on third world aid.

    Democracy and Freedom are not values you can force on people.

  • @atosafi1

    You say the US embargo is responsible for Cuba's present poverty, yet you then say the embargo is harmless... You're contradicting yourself.

    Cuba's present povery is due to the mismanagement inherent in communist ideology. After all, since 1959, Fidel had lots of Soviet "fraternal socialist assistance," while nowadays, Cuba trades with the European Union. And yet, despite all this aid, Cuba is the second poorest country in this hemisphere...

  • @KonradAdenauerJr No, I ment Cuba is harmless nowadays.

    And even though they may be the "poorest" country in this hemisphere(source please), they live longer, have better healthcare and overall have it better then your average american... sure they may not live in luxury but they live a simple, good life.

  • @atosafi1

    "They [Cubans] live longer, have better healthcare and overall have it better then your average american." This claim is based exclusively on the statistics provided to the UN by the Cuban government (not quite a reliable source). If Cubans live such great lives, why do so many of them keep flleing the island on rickety improvised rafts?

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    Because in America, they have a chance of getting RICH.

    That's why americans stay in their crap country, that's why they allow capitalism on their land. Because they all think they will have a chance of becoming rich themselves, and aslong as the top 1% of America keeps people afraid and keeps up the illusion of anyone being able to become rich, people will put up with it.

    1% of the world's population own 80% of everything, while the rest of us are shackled with debt.

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    What "atosafi1" said. But also keep in mind the troubles of Cuba is to a large degree the works of the US. Insisting on a meaningless embargo just out of pure evil. Socialism you said? Not that that is a good reason to embargo someone, but if that is the reason, then why are all your shit made in China?(aka communism) Shouldn't you also embargo China?

  • @TheSaltyAdmiral

    You contradict yourself: you say that " the troubles of Cuba is to a large degree the works of the US," then you call the US embargo "meaningless." Which is it?

    Moreover, if "all [our] shit [is] made in China," then why doesn't Cuba just trade w/ China directly? :=) My earlier point is simple: Fidel's regime has enjoyed decades of Soviet support, and many years of trading with the EU countries, yet communism has failed to deliver prosperity to Cuba.

    Its not a contradiction. Its meaningless in the way that it does not help anyone / protect the US. Whatever meaning it had disappeared when the cold war ended. But that does not mean it is not harmfull. So, its both.

    Canada, the Netherlands, China, and Spain are Cubas largest trading partners, so it does trade with China. However, you cant deny the effect of one of the worlds biggest trading nations, also their neighbour, blocking them off.

    The problem is that you see this as ideology vs ideology.

    You can't point to North Korea and say "See, commuism is bad". For obvious reasons. That would be like pointing to Somalia and say "See, capitalism fails".

    Look at what actually causes problems, not what fits your ideology. If socialism was the problem, then why are northern europe doing much better than the US for instance?

    The illegal embargo is recognized as one of its core economic problems.

  • @TheSaltyAdmiral

    Somalia is more of a lawless warlord-ocracy, rather than socialism or capitalism....

    Actually, I can point to N Korea and say "communism is bad." That is precisely my point: communism has failed everywhere, including in Cuba. Since Cuba trades w/ all the countries you mentioned, why does it still need trade w/ the US? Shouldn't all this trade make Cuba wealthy? FYI: even Raul Castro is beginning to realize Cuba's economic system is broken ...

  • @KonradAdenauerJr

    You missed my point. Calling something capitalism/communism does not make it so. N Korea has nothing to do with socialism/communism, thats why you cant use that as an example. Just as you wont accept that somalia has capitalism.

    Communism is not ideal, but its far from a failure. But there is little doubt that socialism(when done right) is the best form for the majority of the people. Prime examples are scandinavia / canada / australia ect.

  • @TheSaltyAdmiral

    Communism is a failure, indeed.

    IMHO, it's still too early to tell if Raul Castro will make all the political and economic reforms needed to undo Fidel (and Che's) poisonous legacy, and turn Cuba to either a social-democratic or free-market economy. Only time will show, and in the meantime, you and I are just kibitzing :=)

    Its well documented, even wiki got it, that the US embargo is one of the biggest economic problems for Cuba. Along with the fall of Soviet and some natural disasters.

    The reason this embargo is such a big deal is that the US is probably a bigger customer than all the other mentioned COMBINED.

    Thats the main problem.

    But yes, another problem is its own econmic model, if it was based on socialism instead of communism
