The native population of Germany lived well and had dignity under National Socialism. Look at the advancements in science that they had made.

The Cubans greatest accomplishment is literally cigars.

You cant even compare the two.

Che Guevara is often held up as some kind of military genius because of his role in the Cuban Revolution and Guevara does deserve credit for playing a major role. His victory over government forces at Santa Clara, where he was severely outnumbered, was notable. However, his entire military reputation was built solely on this one win.

Guevara was involved in a number of guerrilla warfare attempts each of which was an utter failure. His two high-profile failures occurred in the Congo in 1965 and Bolivia in 1967.

Bolivia was a complete disaster and the one which resulted in his own death. The accounts of his exploits underline just how overrated he was as a commander. As well as being so arrogant that he refused to listen to advice from others, Guevara had a poor grasp of supply and logistics. His failure to identify with the Bolivian peasantry ensured his mission was doomed from the start. Ultimately, his group was cut off from any resupply routes and began to starve in the nation’s jungles. Guevara was reportedly a ‘pitiful sight’ when captured.

There is also the small matter of his failed revolutionary armies in Panama, Haiti, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Including an idiotic scheme to try and start a revolution in Argentina. But the ‘revolution’ was swiftly put down by provincial police.

Had Guevara just remained in Cuba after the revolution, his reputation as a military commander would probably have remained intact. He met with nothing but failure any time he tried to expand his ‘vision’ anywhere else.


It's only amusing to mid-wits that are incapable of distinguishing between a People doing what is necessary to throw off the chains of jewish oppression, and a singular bloodthirsty murderer who killed for sport.

While he was the governor of Santa Clara prison Guevara enjoyed the ritual of the firing squad and approached his task with the same glee one would have when opening a birthday present.

"To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate."

The various murders Guevara was involved in had less to do with ‘necessity’ and more to do with the fact that he really enjoyed it. For example, he once said that killing made his “nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood.”

While many of the executions he ordered were members of the former regime, he didn’t hesitate to kill just about anyone who got in his way. Journalists, businessmen and former colleagues who didn’t agree with him were all executed on his orders.

Lauding this loser as some kind of hero and attempting to hold him up as some kind of paragon says more about the individual doing it than it does about Che himself.
