Why do people idolize Che Guevara if he was a communist?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not everyone thinks that Che Guevara is a hero. He was a leader of the Cuban Revolution with Fidel Castro. A book about his tactics became an important guide during the anti-Vietnam war movement in the United States. The group opposing the Vietnamese War opposed the military and the Military draft of United States citizens rather than get involved in the political process. They did not try to take over the election machinery and throw out members of congress and the President. The other guide for running a guerrilla war is "Seven Pillars of Wisdom," by T. E. Lawrence.

Which was Che Guevara's favorite brand of cigars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Guevara was seldom able to take his choice of cigars. His preference, according to Jesus Arboleya and Roberto F. Campos, was an assortment of marcas such as H Upmann, Montecristo, and Partagas but was consistently the larger ring gauge sizes. Arboleya and Campos describe Fidel Castro as being Che's "tobacconist of last resort" while he was out on his socialist crusades. Allegedly, before leaving to the Congo, Che received from Fidel Castro and enjoyed an early prototype of what we know and love today as the Cohiba Lancero.

Ernesto Guevara commonly known as Che or El Che was born on June 14, 1928 in Rosario, Argentina. Che studied Medicine at the University of Buenos Aires and later worked as a doctor.

What did Che Guevara do that was bad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Che was a communist, but for a free Cuba, and a free Latin America. He was no Stalinist, but certainly contributed his medical, academic and analytical intelligence to traditional Maxist-Leninist principles. He is one of few people who has had the strength of will to live and fight for what he believed.

Was che guevara good or bad?

This is a really controversial topic that has no true answer to. Evil is based on whether or not the person nows truly that there actions harm others. Che fought for the poor and in his mind any actions taken to bring about socialism was justifiable. But he admitted, in his diary, to committing murder, land seizure, and executions.

Here are some quotes from his diary.

  • "Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl!"
  • "We don't need proof to execute a man. We only need proof that it's necessary to execute him. A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate."
  • "He went into convulsions for a while and was finally still. Now his belongings were mine." This is his written account of his victim's, a Castro rebel, actions after Che shot him.
  • "I'd like to confess, papa', at that moment I discovered that I really like killing."
A Little MoreBy every account, even the accounts of his supporters, Che was a killer. He murdered one on one and ordered the wholesale killings of dozens of people. By most measures, he would likely qualify as an "evil person."

One of the leading figures in the Cuban revolution and an icon for youth across the world in the 1960s.Many students/teenagers had a poster of Che on their bedroom wall because he seemed like a romantic, cultural hero although he was a murderer.

And also, it was La C.I.A. who killed him by an American mercenary firing squad.
