Che Guevara - Speech about voluntary labour www.TanvirOnline.co.cc

Ernesto "Che" Guevara (June 14,[1] 1928 October 9, 1967), commonly known as Che Guevara, El Che, or simply Che, was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, politician, author, physician, military theorist, and guerrilla leader. After death, his stylized image became a ubiquitous countercultural symbol worldwide.

As a young medical student, Guevara traveled throughout Latin America and was transformed by the endemic poverty he witnessed. His experiences and observations during these trips led him to conclude that the region's ingrained economic inequalities were an intrinsic result of monopoly capitalism, neocolonialism, and imperialism, with the only remedy being world revolution. This belief prompted his involvement in Guatemala's social reforms under President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán, whose eventual CIA-assisted overthrow solidified Guevara's radical ideology.

Later, in Mexico, he met Fidel Castro and joined his 26th of July Movement. In December 1956, he was among the revolutionaries who invaded Cuba under Castro's leadership with the intention of overthrowing U.S.-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. Guevara soon rose to prominence among the insurgents, was promoted to Comandante, and played a pivotal role in the successful two year guerrilla campaign that deposed Batista.[4] Following the Cuban revolution, Guevara reviewed the appeals of those convicted as war criminals during the revolutionary tribunals, ratifying sentences which in some cases utilized firing squads.[5] Later he served as minister of industry and president of the national bank, before traversing the globe as a diplomat to meet an array of world leaders on behalf of Cuban socialism. He was a prolific writer and diarist, composing a seminal manual on the theory and practice of guerrilla warfare, along with an acclaimed memoir about his motorcycle journey across South America. Guevara left Cuba in 1965 to incite revolutions first in an unsuccessful attempt in Congo-Kinshasa and later in Bolivia, where he was captured with the help of the CIA and executed.

Both notorious as a ruthless disciplinarian who unhesitatingly shot defectors and revered by supporters for his rigid dedication to professed doctrines, Guevara remains a controversial and significant historical figure. As a result of his perceived martyrdom, poetic invocations for class struggle, and desire to create the consciousness of a "new man" driven by "moral" rather than "material" incentives,[6] Guevara evolved into a quintessential icon of leftist-inspired movements. Paradoxically and in contradiction with his ideology, Che's visage was also reconstituted as a global marketing emblem and insignia within popular culture. He has been mostly venerated and occasionally reviled in a multitude of biographies, memoirs, books, essays, documentaries, songs, and films. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century,[7] while an Alberto Korda photograph of him entitled Guerrillero Heroico (shown), was declared "the most famous photograph in the world."[8]

"The first thing to note is that in my son's veins flowed the blood of the Irish rebels, the Spanish conquistadores and the Argentinean patriots. Evidently Che inherited some of the features of our restless ancestors. There was something in his nature which drew him to distant wanderings, dangerous adventures and new ideas."
— Ernesto Guevara Lynch, Che's Father

@kelleyBraga1 so murderers are your heros?

@Normalman50 Actually people in Cuba have much better living conditions than people of Haiti which was ruind by US loving capitalist dictators, theres lots of democratic countries with much worse living conditions. Maybe they lack luxury, but materialism sucks anyway.

I believe that you have never visited Cuba.

[Pvjinflight]

@Normalman50 Uhmm North Korea has about 24 million people when Cuba has 11 million, or do you think that North Korea isnt prison? China is really capitalist country and its system has nothing to do with communism.

People in Cuba do not suffer at all, they have free high quality healthcare and education, and same life expectancy that USA has although cuban government is much poorer because of US embargo.

And China is not prison at all, chinese people can travel in and out. Stupid propaganda.

A good man, Che was, and worthy of respect.

I wouldn't have voted for him, though. His tendency toward authoritarianism is, in my opinion, contrary to democratic tradition. Even so, his willingness to die for a just cause, the advancement of the Human race, is very much admirable.

So, I suppose I have mixed feelings about the guy.

But the hollywoodites LUV castro

[Normalman50]

I have been visiting Cuba every year since 1979, support a family there, and have built them a home. My last visit was in October. The people who are still trapped in Cuba are suffering beyond belief. Even a police officer doesn't have a pen to write with. Casto and Che's type of socialism is "Communism". Next to China "Cuba is the largest prison in the world".

[Normalman50]

Che is scum, just like Castro.
