What do you think about Che Guevara?

Che was a mixed bag. I have che stuff, because he was a fighter for his people and other peoples against the domination by capitalist first world bullies.  He was hardcore. he would shoot any of his men that disobeyed orders.\nhe oversaw executions in cuba.  I respect that he was willing to fight, and was a smart man.  He was an old school marxist. If he was alive today he and I would have very divergent views of what is good for the world/socialism/the poor.\n\nMy favorite thing about Che is that his ticks off the facists.

Hawking's is elevated in the liberal community as a near diety when in actuality his viability as an on-going human concern is questionable. I have little use for people that worship him or for that matter him as well. He spews the commie line of crap, and because he is a "supposed" genius fish bite it hook, line and sinker. \n\nMy rule, never trust someone drools except fo your dog. \n\nRationality is the premise that everything can be explained through rational thought, and I beg to differ. Many things in this word cannot be reduced to the level he proposes. Maybe he can in his vegetative state, I see him as a man fearful of his own destiny.

Many Cubans LOVE Castro\n\n"So,Castro is a good thing for those who make it here to the USA?"\n\nThose ^ Are The Ones That Hate Him, And He THREW Them Out Of Cuba (Allowed Them To Leave), Along With Every Criminal In His Jails

I feel no loyalty to the Bush Administration.  Yes be afraid, very afriad.  The Chimp is the most dangerous person on the planet, however its his handlers, ( Rove, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Norquist ) that seem to be largely behind things. \n\nI kind of see Bush as something akin to the Emperor Caligula.

Tough question, in macroeconomic terms you could say he was one of the best presidents Peru has had in the last 20-30 years. However, in micro economic terms, the situation seem to have gotten worse than in the previous government of Fujimori. \n\nHis government was also plagued with scandals and corruptions at many different levels, an will be remembered for having one of the lower approval ratings ever, as low as 6%.  \n\nHowever, he also restored a high degree of democracy and respect for human rights which was lost during the government of Fujimori.\n\nI think if you asked the majority of the population, they will tell you it was bad. If you ask the business people involved in exports, they will tell you it was quite good.

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!" "Hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold-blooded killing machine. This is what our soldiers must become … " Che Guevara \n\nNice how liberals dont have a problem with violence when it's one of their heroes. Well that was his propagandist speech when he sat behind the comfort of a podium and brandished his "pistola" like a big shot. Here's what he said when he whimpered to his American-trained captors in Bolivia... \n\n"Dont shoot, I'm Che, I am much more valuable to you alive than dead," he told his captors pleading for his life. Unfortunately for him, the Bolivian army gave him some of his own medicine. BWAHAHA! \n\nThe exact number of Che’s Cuban victims has not been verified, but include people he personally executed and those put to death under his orders. Che’s biographers consistently report that he sent thousands to the firing squad. Over 4,000 deaths are documented to have taken place in Cuba, mostly firing squad execution, in the first three years after Fidel Castro’s takeover (1959-1962). Che Guevara was one of the regime’s chief executioners during this period and is said to have acknowledged ordering "several thousand" executions. All took place without affording the victims fair trials and due process of law.

Che Ernesto Guevara was a Revolutionary who believed, fought and died for freedom, equal rights and justice. A doctor by profession and an Argentine by birth. But most remarkably a guerrilla war expert and philanthropist. He was a close friend and confidant of Fidel Castro Ruz. He fought alongside Castro and other fellow revolutionaries in the Cuban guerrilla / revolutionary war which brought the end of the notorious dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista whose reign came to an end when he fled Havana on the 31st of December 1958.\n\nOn 1st January 1959, Castro and his comrades took over Moncada Barracks and thus began a new era in Cuban History.\nChe was made a Minister in Castro's Cabinet, but after a short while Che left Havana to continue his campaign against oppression. He has fought alongside several other comrades in several Latin American countries.\n\nHe died in Bolivia, in the hands of the CIA it is believed. May his generous soul rest in peace. He was a remarkable  person, a writer, photographer, philosopher, humanist & philantropist.

I hear alot of people here in Egypt say that he is "The Man" he could face Bush and not to obey to him .But I think he overstepped the limit by saying he will remove a country from Earth ... but he is still Brave in my opinion and he can be a good Leader I think in the soon future.

I'm not actually convinced he isn't already dead (notwithstanding the apparently new messages).  \n\nIf he isn't then it is a matter of time as it was for Escobar (the book 'killing Pablo is an excellent read - especially the scary nature of the power-base that was established).  The combined problem of a hostile environment; the massive geographic area and the fear-factor for potential informants makes it a very difficult job.\n\nIronically the terrorist problem that they only have to be lucky once while the target has to be lucky every time is now reversed ... he has to be lucky every day while the US just has to get lucky once - look at the news today from Iraq.\n\nPeace out

I like him & his music.\n\nDuring his time off, he was bringing awareness about those less fortunate. He was visiting other countries, helping to build homes, helping to build schools, etc.\n\nHe seems like a great guy.

I don't know if it was good or bad for the argentinian population, but I can tell you what I heard about her.\nMy grandma (my mom's side)loved her, heard stories about when she met her, how much she helped the poor, the women rights,etc. She even had Eva's (and Peron)pictures hanging on the wall.\nMy grandpa (dad's side)repudiated her and Peron, he told me the way they managed the politics, Peron and Eva's goverment presured on him (specifically his industrie), and on the rest of the people who owned or had business.\nLook that is what I've heard, one's side the "needy", other side the "wealthy"...it is a back and forth.\nI've never really formed an opinion...but I'not an Evita's fan.

He is an entertaiiner, he gets paid to be caustic. He learned his trade from el rushbo. He does what he does well but the trouble is people beleive what he says. They think that he is always right when in truth he uses a mixture of half truths, down right lies and inunendo's to excite the neo con population. In answer to your question is he a jerk. Yes by all definitions of the word

I think they do not have all the information available on Che.  During the Cuban Missile Crisis, he confided in Castro that if Cubans had control of the missiles, he would lobby that they be fired at American cities should the crisis deepen.\n\nThat would have killed tens of millions of people.  As a pacifist, I cannot support that.

He was Soviet Union's/Russia's communist party leader from 1928 to 1953. \n\nAs far as what he did that was bad, in summary, he basically believed in violence against anyone that opposed his power or his beliefs in government. This included murdering opposing views. He was also responsible for many assassinations of anyone he felt threatened his position of power.\n\nYears ago, I watched an awesome two hour documentary/movie on him with Duvall playing Stalin. It was great and very informative. If my memory serves, I think it is actually called 'Stalin' and you can get it at public libraries.... well you used to could.

I think disintegration of the USSR as a communist dictatorship can be considered as an achievement itself.\n\nI think Gorbachev did a great service to his country by bringing it back from Orwellian "1984" world back to reality. One can argue what better economic policy could be applied to start moving from centralized economy to the market economy, but Gorbachev role in political reforms and restoring "human values" (общечеловеческих ценностей) is hard to overestimate.\n\nMy personal opinion is that Gorbachev did not really know that it was the beginning of the end when he started his actions in 1985, he honestly believed in a "socialism with human face". And many people (including myself) would simply laugh, if somebody told them in early 1985 that in slightly more than 6 years their country would cease to exist and the communist party will be outlawed (although briefly).
