“Nothing could be more vicariously gratifying than Che Guevara’s disdain for material comfort and everyday desires,” read Time’s encomium to Che Guevara in 1999, hailing him among the “Heroes and Icon of the Century’ alongside, Anne Frank, Rosa Parks and Mother Theresa.
In fact, the domicile Che Guevara “acquired’’ in Havana was among the most luxurious in Cuba,” wrote Cuban journalist Antonio Llano Montes about the mansion Che Guevara “nationalized” (stole at Soviet gunpoint from rightful owner and moved into) in January 1959.
After a hard day at the office signing firing-squad warrants and blasting teenagers’ skulls apart with the coup-de-grace from his .45, during that busy January of 1959, Che Guevara retired to his new domicile just outside Havana on the pristine beachfront. Until a few weeks prior, it had belonged to Cuba’s most successful building contractor. Today, the area is reserved exclusively for tourists and Communist party members. Here’s the rest of the description of Che’s Havana mansion:
''The mansion had a boat dock, a huge swimming pool, seven bathrooms, a sauna, a massage salon and several television sets. One TV had been specially designed in the U.S. and had a screen ten feet wide and was operated by remote control (remember, this was 1959.) This was thought to be the only TV of its kind in Latin America. The mansion's garden had a veritable jungle of imported plants, a pool with waterfall, ponds filled with exotic tropical fish and several bird houses filled with parrots and other exotic birds. The habitation was something out of A Thousand and One Nights."

So typical of the Left. They live like kings while the peasants suffer.
A LIFE magazine article about Cuba shortly after the commies took over had a picture of Che, and he’s wearing a Rolex.
Standard operating procedures.

You’re welcome. 😁👍
Did he go to Angola? I thought he went to Brazzaville in Congo in 1965 and met Neto there. Che was dead two years later.
Aww. Like a mini museum dedicated to the struggles to overcome those evil capitalists. Barf worthy. Hey che, 🖕.
And every day, thousands of future Che’s sashay across our border, dreamin’ of the day when they get to do it to us
Commies like money as much as anyone, but stealing it is easier than earning it.
Is everything being white trying to cover the sins?
Humberto Fontova is a must read for the truth about Cuba.
University of Bergen in Norway is launching a study on how white paint helps spread racism.
