in my new entry, I Would like to tell about a handsome revolutionist, Ernesto Che Guevara from Argentina, Rosario. He came from the wealthy family. the first thing when he came out to this world his father said "The first thing to note is that in my son’s veins flowed the blood of the rebels." Little did anyone know he would become. We will look into the history of how he joined the revolutionary movement and everything he did and achieved that has gotten him the fame he has now. He was a patient of asthma and occasional crippling. He never let his condition come in the way of becoming an athlete and a traveler.
Che Guevara studied medicine in University of Buenos Aries. after which he worked as a doctor for some time. It was in Guatemala, in 1954, where he saw the socialist government which was headed by President Jacobo Arbenz be overthrown by the American-supported military coup. This was when he decided to join the Cuban revolution led by Fidel Castro, who resided in Mexico during this time. The poverty that Che was surrounded by led him to participate in the political activism. He blamed his poverty on the United States and on capitalism. In 1960, he made visits to the Soviet Union and China. When he returned, he wrote two books, which discussed the possibility of expanding the revolution to other South American regions. After resigning as the Minister for Industries in 1965, he renewed his efforts in becoming a guerrilla leader in Bolivia. He chose Bolivia because it was in the center of the continent and because it was vulnerable to change because of their economic and social conditions. Since Bolivia was located far from America, this was a desirable place to go as it was far from interference.They took camp in a mountainous region, a place that looked a lot like the Sierra Mountains in Cuba. Two of his soldiers eventually defected to the Bolivian government after they turned themselves in. They gave up the location of the camp. When the Bolivian officials came to know of this, they asked the US government for help and the CIA trained several operatives and set up a camp for soldiers. In 1967, Felix Rodriguez was selected to head a team to capture the rebel leader, who was eventually captured by the Bolivian General, General Gary Prado. Felix after whom he was executed when he was taken prisoner interrogated him. He was not shot rather he was butchered by a hired group of killers. A trial was not given to Che because they feared that it would lead to an uprising from the Bolivian public, in favor of Che.
Che Guevara quotes are well known to the people who are familiar with this his hypocrisy. He will always remain imperishable memory as being a real bloodthirsty revolutionary . He will also be seen as an inspirational character to people who are a part of the new generation of dinosaurs. He will always be seen as a means of inspiration to naïve people . Che Guevara will always be remembered for the part he played as being a people person, irrespective of him being brutal and harsh.
A few quotes taken from Che Guevara:
- “Blind hate against the enemy creates a forceful impulse that cracks the boundaries of natural human limitations, transforming the soldier in an effective, selective and cold killing machine. A people without hate cannot triumph against the adversary.”
- “A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We must create the pedagogy of the The Wall!” The Wall is a reference to the wall where Che’s enemies stood before his firing squads.
- “If any person has a good word for the previous government that is good enough for me to have him shot.”
- “Let me say, at the risk of seeming ridiculous, that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love.”
- “It’s a sad thing not to have friends, but it is even sadder not to have enemies.”
