The Truth About Che Guevara
World Affairs Journal ^ | 7 February 2014 | Michael J. Totten

Posted on 02/10/2014 3:34:59 AM PST by Texas Fossil

Che Guevara has the most effective public relations department on earth. The Argentine guerrilla and modern Cuba’s co-founding father has been fashioned into a hipster icon, a counter-cultural hero, an anti-establishment rebel, and a champion of the poor. As James Callaghan once put it, “A lie can be halfway round The truth about Che now has its boots on.

He helped free Cubans from the repressive Batista regime, only to enslave them in a totalitarian police state worst than the last. He was Fidel Castro’s chief executioner, a mass-murderer who in theory could have commanded any number of Latin American death squads, from Peru’s Shining Path on the political left to Guatemala’s White Hand on the right.

--

According to Regis Debray, ‘It was he and not Fidel who in 1960 invented Cuba’s first corrective work camp,’ or what the Americans would call a slave labor camp and the Russians called the gulag.”

The amazing disconnect between how US youth see Che and the real evil that he represents.

Illusions like Obama. An entity with no past nor shadow.

But Che is long dead.

That was buy design. The left destroys American heroes and idolizes leftist mass murderers. This is all an effort to nudge the country left.

I run into people all the time who love Che, but have no idea what he actually did. When told the truth, they are in disbelief. I tell them they should check it out for themselves if they don’t believe me. Some do, some don’t.

I tried to find the picture of the glass monument to Che that Charvez had built in Venezuela. It was destroyed by gunfire and sledge hammer within 2 weeks of being finished. Most of the pics of that have been scrubbed from the web.

Leftist Complicit Media.

The Left idolizes Che BECAUSE he was a homicidal maniac. The little hipster girlie-boys have lots of revenge fantasies.

A Venezuelan official said the glass monument to the Cuban revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara was shot at and attacked with a sledgehammer.

revenge fantasies?

Yes, like the mass murders recently in the US. (Warped leftist crazies for the most part)

And like Obama’s children and the “Knock Out Game”. (some game, people died) And Yes, Obama incited them to do such crap.

Yes.

The scene I would like to see is when he met his final judgement.

I am amazed the Cubans let Michael Totten in.

Che was a monster and is no hero.

very good examples. The Left wants to sate its envy through violent retribution against those it imagines have sinned. Pajama Boy dreams about being a tough guy like Che.

Che was a blood thirsty, murdering butcher who was a true apostle of communist domination (for your own good, of course). Fortunately, Bolivian Special Forces caught and executed this monster.
