Teens in Che Guevara t-shirts (by Roachvaliek)
im so tired of seeing this. And, when i ask them "do u know who he was?" they only respond "no". I reveare El Che, but commercializing his image for profit is the eppitamy of what he stood against. Fight the system... But dont b stupid about it.
I want a real explanation. I seen his name the other day when I was reading something, but forgot to read more. I don't know who he is.
he was a marxist-humanist rebel leader. Playing a key role in the ousting of cubas then batista regime. Later, fighting in the congo and bolivia. Where he was assasinated by the c.i.a assisted government in 1967.
Sounds like an interesting man. I will have to read more about him later on.
He spent 3 years as castros right hand man instituting a program that brought cubas litaracy rate from 65-70% to 96% in just a year. And was instramental in bringing in the nukes that sparked the cuban missile crisis. But left after the soviets backed down cowardly.
Didn't he also try to take on the bolivian army with only thirty men and wind up literally shooting himself in the foot?
