The Story Behind the Famous Photo of Che Guevara

[@alinapopescu872]

I was born & grew up in a socialist Romania in which non-interference in a country's domestic affairs was a mantra. And non-aligned countries were seen as wise. Unfortunately, imperialism has taken over once again, hand in hand with its bossom buddy - capitalism.

Any day there’s a new red pen video to watch is a good day! Love your content comrade

[@pg-l4469]

Could not agree more! It's always exciting and this video is excellent! Myself being a photographer and a ML this is an excellent merger of interest!

[@VolumeCheese]

This video basically covers 3/4ths of "Che: a revolutionary life" in 37 minutes, very impressive.

[@Neil-m8x]

This vidéo out when i am visiting Cuba...... You are the best!!!!

[@timeswaste]

Already one of my favorite videos ever. Marvelous work comrade!

[@Spieterlaman]

Appreciate the well edited and researched videos! Great work as always Comrade!

[@jrt9990]

It’s Ge-Ri-Je-Ro not Ge-Ri-Lero and Ge-Va-Ra not Ger-Ve-Ra. Otherwise great vid as always Red Pen!

[@alinapopescu872]

I was about to remark on that, too.

[@Fleezblarp]

i am reminded of the revolution every time i take a sip out of my che guevara branded mug

[@jrt9990]

One quick thing I picked up on as well. You said at 4:05 that the trip took twenty days but having read the book recently I believe it took them a few months, 9 months is what a quick google search said. Just letting you know so no one can challenge the accuracy of the remainder of the video.

yay new red pen video

[@guardwall]

Loved this video but, please friend. It's Che Guevara: "Ch-e Ge-va-ra", not "Shay Gwevara". Otherwise fantastic stuff, keep it up.

[@MarshallBaizan]

yess, i have che guevara's replica beret with the lone star. i love this man. Love Inspires All Revolutionaries!!

[@SnarkyMarx]

Brilliant! Solidarity all

[@pg-l4469]

Just want to quickly note that trotskyists claimed after Che's death that it was actually Castro who had him executed because he was secretly a Trot 😂. It is interesting how his role as a revolutionary vanguardist abroad intersects with Trotsky's 'theory of permanent revolution' however. I'd love to see someone dive into that.

[@redpen1917]

Communism needs to break the link between Trotskyism and proletarian internationalism imo. We can’t let them own that term.

[@communistcuphead2901]

La Higuera has become a site of pilgrimage for revolutionaries in Bolivia, for decades now people have been going to pay their respects to him, and as he once said we proclaim again patria o muerte!

[@mole986]

I cried watching this!

[@Oudplayer23]

I don’t think most westerners or capitalists understand the impact this man had on the 3rd world. It’s a shame that he was slaughtered in such a humiliating manner.

[@ryandenis7667]

whats the song playing in the background?

[@redpen1917]

Los Bubardos (The Bearded Men)

@ thank you!

[@alinapopescu872]

Dear comrade, have you considered paid membership to the channel? I'd be happy to contribute in this way.

[@redpen1917]

You can donate to my Patreon if you wish, but I do not want to make people pay for this content.

Ché Guvera reminds me of dessalines of Haiti

[@ackmedbinlama7179]

A true founding father

[@DinoCism]

I don't think it's half as deep as anti-communists want to think it is to point out that anything can be commodified under capitalism. In fact, I think there was a German guy who wrote a book about that...

[@Johnconno]

Elon Musk wears a Che Guevara sweatshirt.

[@asontehunsthanshhl]

The story is good but is it read by AI?

[@simonsnowlock5937]

Not at all, voice sounds the same as all others--narrated by RedPen

[@redpen1917]

😂 I knew my voice was cringe, but damn

[@asontehunsthanshhl]

@@redpen1917 lol sorry!
