Che Guevara: A Ruthless Death You Wouldn’t Wish To Anyone
That turned him into a cultural hero
Why feel sorry for the guy who killed dozens of people?
Maybe because he believed in a more just world? After all, Ernesto Che Guevara was against poverty, suffering, and the accumulation of wealth. Also, he was cheering for the freedom of black people when very few whites did. Finally, this communist both wanted to free the world from the dominance of American capitalism and criticized the Soviets for forgetting Carl Marx’s teachings.
But who did this little doctor think he was to dare to change the influence of the world forces?
As an upper-class Argentinian, Ernesto Che Guevara (1928–1967) could have minded his own business in the Cuban revolution (1953–1959). But the Irish blood in his veins made him a young rebel. And his leftist parents only strengthened his “affinity for the poor”. Young Ernesto believed he could help.
The rest is the history of a guy who ended up on woke people’s T-shirts.
Che Guevara wanted to start a new revolution
Che shared Fidel Castro’s views: People could only get to the good life through an uprising. They instigated one in Cuba against military dictator Batista (1953–1959).
