  1. “At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality… We must strive every day so that this love of living humanity will be transformed into actual deeds, into acts that serve as examples, as a moving force.” — CHE GUEVARA

  2. Che Guevara was ‘created’ through the United Fruit Co & CIA 1953 overthrow of the democratically elected Arbenz in Guatemala (while Che was living there). Any actions of Uncle Sam’s induced Frankenstein’s, ultimately lead back to U.S. foreign policy – and the brutal tyrants it supports, arms, and chooses to head it’s allied financial oligarchies.

  3. Jon Lee Anderson, the author of the 800 + page ‘Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life’, who spent 5 years researching the man has stated thus about the executions following the revolutionary tribunals modeled after Nuremburg:
    “I have yet to find a single credible source pointing to a case where Che executed an innocent. Those persons executed by Guevara or on his orders were condemned for the usual crimes punishable by death at times of war or in its aftermath: desertion, treason or crimes such as rape, torture or murder.”
    NEXT ?

  5. Pretty hard to find a credible source,when they are dead. AND BTW….”Those persons executed by Guevara or on his orders were condemned for the usual crimes punishable by death at times of war or in its aftermath: desertion, treason or crimes such as rape, torture or murder.”” So You agreeing that we every Taliban,Muslim,etc terrorist in the world should be summarily shot? Bravo. Maybe your one brain cell found its way home.

  9. haha Humberto Fontova is a partian hack who writes screeds like he was a scorned teenager on her Myspace blog.
    Nobody takes him seriously, except for true right-wing troglodytes.
    The 3 main Che biographers are Anderon, Taibo, & Castaneda … Fontova’s expertise is spear fishing.

  10. Truman nuked 250,000 Japanese … Americans & Canadians cheer
    Che has 200 rapists and torturers shot … right-wingers cry foul
    go figure

  12. Nobody is also mentioning that the dictator Batista had 20,000 Cubans killed and ran the island as a Mafia casino and w#orehouse.
    So if 20,000 people are massacred, and Che has the 200 guilty shot … how does that make him a murderer? I thought the right favored the death penalty? I know I do.

  14. No Osumashi Kinyobe, I am saying that a disgruntled hack hunter who writes for right wing blogs and speaks in sophmoric insults is not a credible source.
    Fontova hasn’t set foot in Cuba since he was 7 in 1961 … his info is collected from old geezers in Miami who are bitter that they lost their mansion.

  16. Osumashi Kinyobe would you support a “biography” written solely by communists who hate Ronald Reagan and refer to him as an “old senile blood sucking war criminal”???
    I don’t think so
    Fontova is not a serious writer – he’s a quasi comedian

  17. “Truman nuked 250,000 Japanese … Americans & Canadians cheer.” – “con$ervative”
    And why did Jon Stewart apologize the day after he called Truman a “war criminal”? /sarc

  18. Correcting “Huh?”
    So if 20,000 [Cubans] are massacred [between 1959-2007], and [no one] has the 200 guilty shot … how does that make [Che innocent]?

  19. Correcting “Huh?”, again.
    “Nobody is also[sp.] mentioning that the dictator [Fidel] had 20,000 Cubans killed and ran the island as a[n] [Army] casino[…].”

  20. Why would I embrace Che supporters?
    Would you regard Pascal Fontaine and Jang Chung’s accounts of Che as “erroneous” or “fanciful” as well?
    Che was a spoiled wealthy butcher and now he adorns the t-shirts of the gullible.

  21. Truman nuked 250,000 Japanese … Americans & Canadians cheer
    Che has 200 rapists and torturers shot … right-wingers cry foul
    go figure

    to accurately assess Truman’s decision you have to put yourself in his shoes *at the time*.
    NO 20/20 hindsight allowed.
    japan had been at war some 14 years. theirs was a samurai tradition; translation: fight to the death.
    their war capability was shrinking every day, but still the fighting continued. I read the book about the plan for an amphibious invasion of Japan dwarfing Normandy. the biggest difference, Europe was friendly albeit enemy occupied territory. not so Honshu and Hokkaido. Truman was only given official word of the Manhattan project when he took office and it had not at that time been tested.
    etc etc.
    the quick version? WITHOUT ANY HIND SIGHT PERMITTED:
    weighing => millions of casualties on BOTH sides including vastly more civilians in the invasion of their homeland, or, The Bomb from a single plane.
    you could set your watch to the time lapse between the chain reaction and the signing of (quoting McArthur) “instruments of surrender” on Tokyo Bay.
    Truman wasnt a go%^$mn war criminal. anyone who says that doesn’t know squat about history or war and understands even less.
    believe it or not I once dreamt I was the pilot of one of those B-29s.

  22. curious George, are you willing to grant such nuance to Che as well, who had just overthrown a brutal regime ?

  23. Covservatives are funny in their hypocrisy
    George Washington owned slaves, but he was just a creature of his time and should still be a hero
    Thomas Jefferson raped his female slave and had a baby with her, but lets not use hindsight to judge
    Sure Reagan used death squads in Latin America to execute 300,000 + mostly poor peasants – but hey sometimes you need to kill for “freedom”
    But Che … he did the ungodly act of not pardoning 200 or so war criminals for a corrupt regime after a revolution and thus they were shot. OH MY GAWDZZZ !!!! 101110

  24. Ronald Radosh disagrees with you, Jake, re: “el Contrarevoluciones”. Radosh spent time with them in the Nicaraguan jungle, and compared them to Ortega’s guys. Ronald Radosh, ex-socialist and “red-diaper baby”, says the Contras were a “true people’s army”. Not my words, his.

  25. Breaking news: Artist who made the Obama “Hope” poster pictured above probably STOLE to photo its based on.
    “NEW YORK – Shepard Fairey’s claim that he had the right to use a news photo to create his famous Barack Obama “HOPE” poster became a widely watched court case about fair use that now appears to have nearly collapsed.
    By Friday night, his attorneys – led by Anthony Falzone, executive director of the Fair Use Project at Stanford University – had withdrawn from the case and said the artist had misled them by fabricating information and destroying other material.”

    The corruption just keeps oozing out, doesn’t it boys?

  26. No one said slavery, totalitarianism or murder were right. You’re just proving the point- Che was an evil man because he did murder, threaten, steal, deprive people of freedom and forcibly move people from their land.
    I don’t think you thought this through.

  27. Che is one of the greatest heroes of the last century.
    The fact that right-wing uneducated turds hate him only confirms this.
    Hasta la Victoria Siempre !

  28. Ronald Radosh can also recount his visit to a Cuban mental institution in the early 1980s where he met a gay man, imprisoned because homosexuality was a “counterrevolutionary deviancy”.
    Funny then, that at the 2001 Summit of the Americas in Quebec City, Svend Robinson would walk shoulder-to-shoulder with people waving a Cuban flag with Che’s picture on it.
    “[…]right-wing uneducated[…]” – look in the mirror.
