Anniversary of When Che Guevara 'Closed' on His Beachfront Mansion

“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."

Oh yeah, a man of the proletariot right? Any doubt he'd be right in the middle of the 'wef' if he was still alive? Typical of the upper echelon of socialist/communist POS assclowns. All for me, none for thee!

Not many people realize that Che Guevera was a rabid racist. He did not like black people,and thought they were inferior. When Guevera was in Angola, his diaries reveal the depth of his racism and utter disdain for the Angolan people, and blacks in general.

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.

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.

Commies like money as much as anyone, but stealing it is easier than earning it.

Is everything being white trying to cover the sins?
