I don't have enough info about him. I'd rather educate myself first.

Try "kill the rich."

That's why we call him the Butcher of la Cabana.

So what? He killed a few dozen rapists, murderers, casino gangsters and tyrants, the people of Cuba cheered when they were killed, so they can't have been liked much.

Class warfare my friend.

Your Communist propaganda influenced mind is deluded. The Nazis cheered the killing of the Jews. They weren't liked. Does that justify it? Che killed merchants and businessmen, and those who disagreed with him or his fellow Communists. That is not a valid reason to kill. And neither is class warfare. Your justification is sick

http://media.www.thecounterweight.co...-3353569.shtml

"…there were about eight hundred prisoners in a space fit for no more than three hundred: former Batista military and police personnel, some journalists, a few businessmen and merchants. The revolutionary tribunal was made of militiamen. Che Guevara presided over the appellate court. He never overturned a sentence. I would visit those on death row at the galera de la muerte. A rumor went around that I hypnotized prisoners because many remained calm, so Che ordered that I be present at the executions. After I left in May, they executed many more, but I personally witnessed fifty-five executions. There was an American, Herman Marks, apparently a former convict. We called [Che] "the butcher" because he enjoyed giving the order to shoot. I pleaded many times with Che on behalf of prisoners. I remember especially the case of Ariel Lima, a young boy. Che did not budge. Nor did Fidel, whom I visited. I became so traumatized that at the end of May 1959 I was ordered to leave the parish of Casa Blanca, where La Cabaña was located and where I had held Mass for three years. I went to Mexico for treatment. The day I left, Che told me we had both tried to bring one another to each other's side and had failed. His last words were: 'When we take our masks off, we will be enemies.'"

To date there are some 200 executions of political prisoners that have been verified as being carried out by Che, but nobody can say for sure how many went unverified over his career as a revolutionary. Che never believed in free expression and an open discourse of ideas; you either went lock step with his beliefs or were "removed." Just the kind of a man we should be putting on shirts and mugs.

Default Che is an inspiration for a new generation

Che, who was murdered by US agents under orders from Washington 40 years ago, is an icon and rebel par excellence. In 1954 he witnessed the overthrow of the reforming Guatemalan government at the behest of the United Fruit Company, run by the scions of the US establishment, the Dulles family.

Che met Fidel one year later. In the late 1950s Che became a military leader and a strategist of revolutionary warfare of the first order, that in no small part helped spearhead the Cuban revolution, and the entry into Havana on New Years Day 1959.

Meanwhile, the barbaric US supporting dictator, Batista, together with the Mafiosa and bordello owners, headed for the airport.

Che then helped spread revoluton in Congo, where the great Patrice Lumumba had been murdered in a UN-supported coup.

Nelson Mandela paid tribute to the Cuban role in Africa's liberation struggle. On his release from prison he went to Cuba, rather than any country in the world. Beneath an illumination of Che's image, Mandela lifted his hands aloft and said: "See how far we slaves have come!"

"There are no frontiers in this struggle to the death", Che told an international conference in 1965. "We cannot remain indifferent in the face of what occurs in any part of the world. A victory for any country against imperialism is our victory, just as any country's defeat is our defeat."

Those who argue against Che's methods miss the point. As the great black abolitionist Frederick Douglas put it: "Those who profess to favour freedom and yet depreciate agitation...want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters...Power concedes nothing without a demand."

Che's time has not passed, it is coming.
