Why Che Was a Monster pt 8 Congo

During their all-night meeting on March 14--March 15, 1965, Guevara and Castro had agreed that the former would personally lead Cuba's first military action in Sub-Saharan Africa. Some sources state that Guevara persuaded Castro to back him in this effort, while other sources maintain that Castro convinced Guevara to undertake the mission, arguing that conditions in the various Latin American countries that had been under consideration for the possible establishment of guerrilla focos were not yet optimal. Castro himself has said the latter is true. According to Ahmed Ben Bella, who was president of Algeria at the time and had recently held extended conversations with Guevara, "The situation prevailing in Africa, which seemed to have enormous revolutionary potential, led Che to the conclusion that Africa was imperialism's weak link. It was to Africa that he now decided to devote his efforts."

Maybe I just don't get it, but according to this video, he really doesn't sound like such a bad guy.

[ddball1]

I didn't try to make him sound bad. I just wanted to say what he did. Some would feel that what he achieved in Congo was awful, unrelenting, despairing poverty mixed with senseless killing.

[ddball1]

I will leave your comment, fodonga, but I would point out this is researched and based on the writings of Che's supporters. You might not agree with it, but it happened. You might not like business people or people who make profit, but profit allows us all to live well.

Still waiting to know why you think he was a monster....

[danyellechicago]

a "monster", This man was a humanitarian and if and when Black America was ready to participate in liberation, he would have been there..I honor this man

[redriverhautbois]

I dont think everything Guevara did was right, but he led a hard life and strove toward a noble cause.

also you are reading directly off the wikipedia page, word for word. At least write your own damn speeches.

@ddball1 The long and the short of it is; Guevara would, and did, kill people that didn't agree with his way of thinking....That, makes him a "bad guy".

Marxism is, historically, a failed system. Where ever it's reared it's ugly head, the end result has always been dispair and ultimate misery. Guevara never could understand that.

che fought for a better world and when powerfull corrupt goverments are in the way there will be bloodshed che's problem was to much ambition or love for humanity foreigners rarely bought into his bigger idea

We Americans are so stupid that American individuals invented many of the items that make your daily life easier. I agree about the Hollywood crap, and, yes, we have many ignorant, ill-educated individuals. Our schools have failed and the students have failed in many cases. I agree, the narrator's Spanish is PAINFUL to my ears!

By the way, "Mentally Retarded" has been retired as a description due to its cruelty.

[mrfiggins]

Gotta give you props for at least 4 " " nice. I can only assume this means you are not real bright. Sorry, I looked again it was 6. So, you have absolutely nothing to say to further the debate. God cause it could have been a real muckraker. I may have actually had to come up with an argument.

[captc5757]

the guy on audio is actually British. No offense intended but alex you're the idiot.

[alexmottram07]

The guy on the audio doesn't even know how to pronounce Guevara´s name, not even the word "Che"... It is so funny, for most "americans" anyone who is not mentally retarded (as they are) must be called "a monster"; according to "american" standards in order not to be "a monster" you must watch Hollywood crap and enjoy it !!! "Americans" are the most stupid and ignorant people ever existed in history...
