History is so much fun.
I've been having a laugh comparing the Spanish and the English article.

I don't read spanish.
That is speculation by whomever you are quoting, "I think..."
Most likely the reason those other people who got away managed to escape is because they were looking for che.

Yeah, pity.
That's why learning many languages is so useful, it broadens the mind.
Basically, the English version treats him as a terrorist, and the Spanish one as a hero; that's why I found it funneh.
The Spanish one is much more complete and richer than the English one, too.

Sorry, that was Harry Villegas, one of his companions.
Well,of course. That is not relevant, the important thing is that when faced with the decision of increasing his own risk of being captured but save other weaker people's lives, or get away easily and screw the others, he chose to try to stop the Bolivian Army, and save the others.

Most likely the reason those other people who got away managed to escape is because they were looking for che.

No, because they managed to get out of the circle ("cerco", more like fence, perimeter) the Army was setting, some of them were later chased and killed, 5 managed to escape to Chile. Again, that the army was slower than the sick ones is a mere addition, the key aspect is the Che's bravery and self-sacrifice.

I feel that Che Guevara was nothing more than a man who became so possessed by carrying out the revolution that he would stop at no means to get to it. I do not believe he was a bad man to begin with, but that he simply felt so strongly about the revolution that he did things he ordinarily wouldn't do. Thanks largely to his and Castro's efforts, the quality of Cuban has improved dramatically, and it proves that communism is not an evil government by default. While I believe that communism works in theory, human nature does not allow us to subordinate our efforts for the common good, which is what communism is based upon. I wish it would work, because capitalism is clearly hurting the middle class, single families that can't seem to catch a break from the government, but human nature simply does not allow for it.

Gotcha. If I ever go on a murderous rampage...I'll just use my charity work with the blind as a defense.

Eye roll.

Erm... No. It's just that the way you display your sheer contempt for traditional socialist working class values makes you stink of the extreme right.

Wow, this is so stupid I don't know where to begin.

1. Contempt for a murderer doesn't reflect my position on socialism.
2. Fascists were liberals. And socialists. So calling me a fascist undermines your whole point.
3. I DON'T like socialism because it has left over 100 million dead.
4. You dont get 1-3 so I'm guessing you're not very bright.

The man has a point, the revolution is war - plain and simple. You're killing off the state apparatus.

These were prisoners.

You're a fascist.


Although you could do with reading the definition of a fascist.

Don't lecture me fool. You're not in my league.

Are YOU that bloody stupid that you think fascism simply equates to the killing of innocents? Not only is that stupid, it's fucking PUERILE.

You're stupid enough to assume that anyone who disagrees with you on deifying a monster is a fascist. Don't even try to lecture me simpleton.


Well considering that you haven't shown me a single famous picture there, I wouldn't say you have to keep going. Do you mind starting though?

I mentioned 8. If you're too lazy to look them up that's on you.
All of them are clearly more famous.

It's been going strong since 1967 and it'll irk you til your grave.

Uh, no. The Che is God fad started in 2004 with the movie Motorcycle Diaries. Before that, Che was taught to be a bit player (but a monster) in teh Latin Communist revolutions.

You can base societal observations on yourself, everybody knew who Che was before that film.

The simple truth is that even Wikipedia recognizes that Che was a nobody til the late 90s.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_Guevara _in_popular_culture

The only major thing that they link to Guevarra before 200 was Evita (linking Che the character erroniously to Che Guevara). The Che chic nonsense started in the mid 2000s and has nothing to do with who the man was.

I've read plenty about Che, although not as much as I'd like. You really must be fucking slow if you only started noticing Che as an icon in 2004, either that or you live in some backwoods that doesn't apply to modern society. Neither would surprise me, to be frank.

I knew that Che was a murdering nobody from grade school. He was a bit player in murderous coups across the Latin American landscape.

That I point out that no one gave a shit about him til recently means nothing. Ask anyone older than twenty who Guevara was. If they know the name, they'll call him a murderer. His shirts offend any decent person who sees them. They're little different than seeing a Hitler shirt.

There's a difference between killing in a war and simple murder, dunce.

No there's not. If you exectue unarmed people...it's murder. Period.

Then you are a deluded, scary, pathetic man.

Shrug. That'd mean more if you didn't ideolize an executioner.

Okay, source time again. Let's see how many women and children Che Guevara ordered the execution of. Show me. If you don't mind, can you keep your sources away from the extreme right?

Your standards don't apply. Mine do:
http://michellemalkin.com/2007/11/05/the -victims-of-che-guevara/

Oooooh. Damn, those fact things aren't comfortable. DAMN.

You piss off. The topic started asked what we think about Che and I praise him. I stick by that praise. He fought to liberate the downtrodden of this planet and you can all me names all you like but it simply won't change history.

Cause you're a fucking moron.
He killed unarmed prisoners. And he helped create the beauty that is Cuba's paradise.
I'll call you names because you deserved to be called names.

You deride Che for execution prisoners of war and then tell me that the planet would be better off from me dying. Based on a single forum argument. Umm, I think you should maybe also check up the dictionary on mental illness. Someone who disagrees with you on a forum is not a grounds for ethnic cleansing, fascist.

I didn't argue for ethnic clensing. And I'd be willing to bet good money that you're some loser white kid who couldn't tell your ass from a hole in the ground if I gave you directions. (Mick helps btw)

But hell, let's claim that you're the world's ONLY jewish muslim russian austrailian antartica visiting half black Che supporter...I still haven't argued that someone should kill you. Only that we'll be better off when your worthless ass dies.

I detest Hitler and in no way am I in favour of genocide, you're being ridiculous on that point.

No I'm not. Youre being a worthless shitbag in supporting a murderer that many don't know anything about, and crying about a murderer we all know about. You're not only garbage. Youre a coward too.


I don't know much about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad but I know enough to tell you that to lump me with extremist Islam and holocaust deniers simply for being a socialist makes you sound like a paranoid right-wing lunatic.

I didn't lump you with Mahmoud and Hitler for being a socialist imbecile. I lumped you with their supporters for downplaying the evils of the man you support.

You're not very bright are you?


Although you're right, I did admire Yasser Arafat.

Of course you do.


It is a shame that the government breaks the law more than the criminals it punishes.

No, but the big ones, like on Bush, Che, Mickey Mouse et al, are.
Also just because some aren't sourced doesn't mean that the one you use isn't sourced.

Che Guevara is a hero to the socialism movment worldwide, and he is rollin over in his grave bout the fact that he is now a capital symbol. He killed people because they were oppressers to the cubans didnt give a damn bout who starved in the streets. O and if violence doesnt solve anything then why r there no more nazis?

P.S.
If u think communism doesnt work go read a book instead of watchin CNN its really liberating to have ur own oppion for once not something the media machine spills out.

personally i feel this is more reason to respect him rather than to denigrate him. why? if one is fighting for something they believe in wouldn't it be more honourable not to compromise and further ones cause no matter what the cost? if he was fighting for the good of the people (at least lets work on the assumption that he was) i find had he not taken all the measures necessary, including violence, then it would make him more worthless and pathetic.
and i'll go there before anyone else brings it up; the same goes for Hitler. i feel he would deserve an even lower reputation had he not taken steps to "better" his people. i may not agree with what he or Che, or their causes, but its damn well better than preaching how your people are in danger yet you do nothing.

and before you bring up Gandhi or MLK, they did the same but with different approaches.
