Opinions on Che Guevara (12/28/2010)

[Alpha Protocol]

Here's something I'd like to start doing. Everyday I will post a discussion in which we discuss and share opinions on important figures of past and present. Today's person is Che Guevara, what do you think of him? Che Guevara was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, intellectual, guerrilla leader, diplomat, military theorist, and major figure of the Cuban Revolution. He traveled the world to preach communism to whom he believed to be oppressed peoples. He was captured and later executed in Bolivia by a joint CIA-Bolivian task force. After his death, he became an international symbol of communism. What are your thoughts on Che Guevera, his life, his works, and his beliefs?

Discuss on facebook? Yet you post it here?

MikeH, can you seriously ban this guy? He's no different than the usual spammers. You can even google his posts and see that he posted them elsewhere (this one at Gamespot, for example)

The horribleness of your threads is only matched by the horribleness of Che Guevara.

[SlowwHand]

As far as the topic question, he was a dickhead.

[C0ckney]

where do you discuss anything alpha? you post this crap, don't give your own view and then start another equally crappy thread.

He won't listen to you.

Che the poster or Che the poster?

The bloke who used to post on here was ok sometimes - as a far left libertarian he provided an extra dimension to the spectrum of opinion here, even though he could occasionally be a twunt, and his eco-politics didn't fit with his Marxism IMO.

The bloke on the posters (and T-shirts), the revolutionary looking for a cause... meh.

My opinion of Che Guevera is that he was a man who saw what he believed to be wrong with the system, and he took a stand against it, and I believe he had good intentions. However, I can't say I agree with some of the means he used to spread his message.

[Felch]

Well that's an incredibly boring opinion.

Che was awesome for capitalism. How else do you part a young left wing radical from the few dollars he has to his name? Put a picture of Che on a T-shirt.

The real Che Fake Che

He wasn't a far left libertarian, he was a communist.

You obviously know nothing about the man. He was brutal and personally ensured Cuba went socially backwards at least 50 years. His intentions at best were extremely ignorant.
