Come to RESISTANCE! This year is the 40th anniversary of the murder of Che Guevara by the CIA in Bolivia. Che was in Bolivia trying to assist the revolution taking place there when he was captured and shot, his last words apparently being “Shoot, coward, you’re going to kill a man”. Richard Manton a member of SY said “Che was a heroic participant in the struggle against US imperialism and capitalism. He played a key role in the Cuban revolution which led to massive improvements in the education and healthcare of Cuba. He also grew deeply critical of the lack of workers democracy in the USSR"

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Che Guevara was a mass murderer. He didn't give a tinkers damn about people or social justice. He was simply a murderer. Just like islamofascists use Islam as an excuse to murder and kill Che used socialism. The people that run this site are simply the ill informed sheep that buy the propaganda. Ask anyone (other than the elites) that have lived in a socialist country what it was like. Socialism is merely a way to further protect the elites and keep them far above the peasants they control. Show me 1 place with a socialist system where this is not the case. Citizens living in these countries are many times more repressed than those living under capitalism.
I take issue with your description of Guevara as representative of struggle.
It is true, however, that most people's only knowledge of the man was that he was in a movie called the motorcycle diaries. It appears as though this is your authors only reference point too.
You fail to mention anything of his role within Cuba which saw many thousand's of ideologically opposed killed.
Particularly hypocritical of the SP to be using Che given that they have always, rightly, opposed Cuba as a Stalinist dictatorship and indeed I am old enough to recall when appearing in a Che tee shirt would earn you a right bollicking off the Militant comrades as then was! Ironic too in that there is no way that the SP would be allowed organise a public meeting in Cuba itself.
