I love how people who have literally never done ANYTHING in their lives, can sit on their asses and criticize people like Che Guevara, who, like him or not changed more than most people ever will, had passion and principle.

[@santi183]

I'm beg to find at least one yankee against capitalism. i would love to meet at least one who can ask us, the latinamericans, about our view, or ask about comunism and socialism and not only critize them for what you've been learned in school or in the family. Che guevara was an excellent man, who gave his life to see a better world without poorness and opression, and he didn't need so he came from a very rich family. Comunism isn't the "bad guy", neither the good. But is better than capitalism.

It is actually quite interesting how all the comments to this clip is about how hot Del Toro is or how great or how bad Che was depending on which nationality you've got. Has anyone actually seen these movies??? Personally I think they are really great movies trying to portray Che as a human being; not good, not bad - just human. And I have huge respect for all the work and research which has been put into these movies. GREAT work from Del Toro and Soderberg, in my opinion.

[@miket.6293]

look up his failures in Africa...lol..gold ak47...ha!

[@Grainnie3]

What few people acknowledge is that Che was a physician, a poet, and a deeply humanistic person. What prompted him to get involved in the revolution was compassion after he witnessed the suffering of the poor people. While I don't support methods that include killing and war, I don't think we should demonize this man. He was in his own way a truly great man.

[@SIMONDUKEN]

che guevara was kind!!!He loved people!!!And as we know LEGENDS NEVER DIE!

@Lisbon1906 It is interesting your point. But, your're not giving a specific reference regarding statistics. Which source of reference, be it a journal or a book from a scholar, are you providing? If this is your opinion you should state it. I do respect opinions. But you are STATING your point of view which is NOT neccessarily a real fact. Go back and give us more solid information.

[@007diego2]

Celocarvalho7 Thank you for the information and you are correct. I just read the biography "CHE" by Jon Lee Anderson and yes, Che didn't seem to grasp the philosphy of Marx completey. I wiill read some of your suggestions next, maybe Trotsky....

[@sannimcable]

Che was the bravest man ever

[@chriscolferrocks]

@Bastiat90 Cubans get free education, free healthcare, free education and a universal salary; while in the most developed country in the world there are thousands unemployed in abject poverty and the gulf between the breadline and those born with a silver spoon in their mouths is enourmous. Cuba also has one of the highest literacy rates in the world(higher than the U.S's infact) and the second best healthcare systems in the world. I know which country I would prefer to live in!

[@marxman12]

Yes, many of our Founding Fathers were slave owners but they also created a way within the Constitution for slavery to be abolished. Che and Castro were not even Cuban. They invaded another country for their own power. Defend that!

[@DeLaGeeZy19nineteen]

what the hell are you all talking about??? just because he was in the movie doesnt mean he shares alberto 'che' guevara's ideas. ohh and if you dont like him, why in the world are you guys searching his name???

[@LiquidT3nsion]

The restrictions are a formality and at this point just represents higher prices for those that send any kind of assets to their families. I have to disagree, Cuba is not the most developed country in the Caribbean. Puerto Rico has signs of a better industry and develop. Brazil Chile Argentina Peru are the most developed countries in Latin America. Cuba is far behind.

It's just tougher to swallow when you live within a system of participation as opposed to suppression...you come to expect more and it cuts deeper when the ill winds blow.

[@rosana1150]

you cannot be good and bad at the same time. Che fought for his ideas, and as these were very different from other people´s ideologies, he´s criticizes and blamed for atrocities. And i think you have been reading books by Fontova. I suggest to get a good, impartial biography.

[@LiquidT3nsion]

The sanctions that US embargo hold against Cuba are basically inexistent. After the Cuban misil crisis the US has loosen its restrictions regarding this blockade. Now Cuba's lack of technology has caused a mayor impact that usually Corporated America provide for those that are allowed to trade with and that situation happens with most Latin American countries, therefore your theory surrounding the Embargo is inaccurate.

[@Beery1962]

It seems to be. To get a good quick introduction, I'd say watch The Motorcycle Diaries (although I'd say the actor who plays Che is woefully miscast) and then Che parts 1 and 2 (again, I'd say Benicio del Toro is miscast - he looks the part, but lacks Che's cynical sense of humor). The book by Jon Lee Anderson goes deeper.

@MrBloograss Those lines were written when he was a youth on his motorcycle trip, first time encountering black people in Venezuela. He later said he was a changed man by the end of the trip. How could he be racist to blacks when he fought in Africa with an all black army against white South African mercenaries of Apartheid?

And as for the second quote about Mexicans, can you tell me where the origin is from? I can only find it on republican and liberal websites that quote it in their articles, but none have citations.

Somehow they missed this in the movie: “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.” Guevara “If the nuclear missiles had remained (in Cuba), we would have fired them against the heart of the US, including New York City. The victory of socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims.” Guevara

Just to finalize, communism and socialism is where all ppl are equal, there is no class opressing other, the produtives forces and freedom are at their top.... In URSS under stalin, Cuba and China they did not follow a path to communism, they sunked into bureaucrativism where the burocrats have more rights than the population, and to guanrantee those rights they opress the people... On those countrys the produtive force arent't at thier topmost because they are subordinated by the bureaucracy!

[@o_corisco]

Yeah, but tell me smartpants, how can u do the revolution of the proletariat without the proletariat? Che was a oportunist, and he didnt quite understood Marx theory, he really supported the revolution in one country and that is explained by his good realtion with the URSS under stalin control! Che was a philantropic not a revolutionare!

Well lot's of his ideas came from stalinist interpretention of communism, but mainly communism in one country, dictatorship, a revoltuion withou the conscientization of the proletariat...All that comes from Stalists interpretetions!

[@IneptTroopr]

@TheEinarr88 I never said he didn't have racist views. Nor am I a "Che groupie", as while there are many inspiring things about Guevara's actions and worldview, there is also much wrong with them, which is why I don't unconditionally admire him. However, I don't think we should let the negative aspects cloud the positive ones either; if we did, we should renounce nearly all historical figures we respect, since you can find bigoted views, violent intent, or other terrible flaws in any of them.

[@IneptTroopr]

@armandx10 Are you even listening to yourself? People still like Che because he's a racist? I think its the complete opposite: people like Che (rightly or wrongly) because he represents resistance to oppression. Che did hold some bigoted views, there is no doubt in that, but to argue that people like Che BECAUSE he was a racist is willful ignorance on your part.

[@LiquidT3nsion]

The US is the fifth largest exporter to Cuba (6.6% of Cuba's imports are from the US). However, Cuba must pay cash for all imports, as credit is not allowed. The embargo was relaxed by the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act. Therefore the Embargo is a scapegoat used by Castro's regime to blame all of Cuba's problems.

[@LiquidT3nsion]

Cubas economic freedom score is 26.7, making its economy one of the worlds least free, ahead of only Zimbabwe and North Korea. Its overall score is 1.2 points lower than last year, reflecting primarily a worsened score in investment freedom. Cuba is ranked at the bottom of 29 countries in the South and Central America/Caribbean region, and its overall score is less than half of the regional average according to the 2010 index of economic freedom.
