Opinions on Che Guevara (12/28/2010)

[Grid]

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?

I kind of disagree with his theories and all together with communism. Other than that, he is a multi-role fighter. An icon to look up to.

My opinion is that it's stupid that many who glorify him conveniently ignore the violent guerrilla leader aspect.

violent guerrilla leader aspect.
That's what many people like him; he is a militarist after all.

I'm not a fan.

My opinion of Che Guevera is that he was a man who say what he believed to be wrong with the system, and he took a stand against it, and that makes him a man of much bravery and commitment. However his good intentions may have been misinterpreted by some of the extreme means he used to send his messages to the world.
