If he would of succeded Central and South America would be economically sound and a global power.

Scarlett, your link is a bunch of imperialistic BS.

Answer 1

I love South America, it is a beautiful place, anyone who says it's horrible is just upset because the Republicans they vote for leave them too poor to travel anywhere....and I have to disagree with you.
True communism has never happened in third-world countries (never happened outside small foraging tribes, in fact!). Never happened in Russia, China, Cuba, Guiana, Somalia, you name it.
Even Marx said that fully fledged capitalism had to develop (this means First World) in order for communism to ever appear.

Not to mention that I find Marx's whole idea of an utopian stateless communist society emerging from a totalitarian dictatorship to be flawed on every imaginable level.

Answer 2

Che Guevara was NOT a "freedom fighter." To qualify as a freedom fighter, you actually have to fight FOR freedom. Guevara was a hard-line Stalinst thug, who not only backed Soviet-made North Vietnam, but saw them as a model for all other communist revolutions. That means he was AGAINST freedom, and those who opposed him(as well as those who condemn stupid morons that idolize him today) were the freedom fighters.

Oh, BTW, since communists are REAL imperialists, you're trashing of Scarlett's link is the REAL B.S.!

Answer 3

In his book Che Guevara: A Biography, Daniel James writes that Che himself admitted to ordering "several thousand" executions during the first year of the Castro regime. Felix Rodriguez, the Cuban-American CIA operative who helped track him down in Bolivia and was the last person to question him, says that Che during his final talk, admitted to "a couple thousand" executions. But he shrugged them off as all being of "imperialist spies and CIA agents."

Vengeance, much less justice, had little to do with the Castro/Che directed bloodbath in the first months of 1959. Che's murderous agenda in La Cabana fortress in 1959 was exactly Stalin's murderous agenda in the Katyn Forest in 1940. Like Stalin's massacre of the Polish officer corps, like Stalin's Great Terror against his own officer corps a few years earlier, Che's firing squad marathons were a perfectly rational and cold blooded exercise that served their purpose ideally. His bloodbath decapitated literally and figuratively the first ranks of Cuba's anti-Castro rebels.

Answer 4

He would have left to move onto another war. Which is what he always did. Then a strong dictator would have taken over the South American countries and run them like Fidel Castro. Che loved Fidel, didn't he? Great place Cuba. If you like rafting.

Answer 5

So, why do you think he would give the people he killed to make a better society, har, har, a trial before he killed them? Barf!

Your views are either pipe dreams or drug induced. No country has ever had better economy with that sort of government.

Hey, I got a great idea. Go to Cuba where his ideas have been implemented for nearly 50 years.

Answer 6

Sorry, buddy - he's as dead as a doornail.
