Quoting thehandsom:
He was the most heroic of all the revolutionists in the world.
And he will remain that way..

Yeap and glory be to Adolf Hitler who helped Germany overcome a crisis and was driven by ideology. With revolutionaries ideology comes before the worth of a human life so...what did you say? Revolution demands victims? And Stalin? He was a revolutionary as well. Many paid for his ideas. And it's no use to say Che was better than them. Socialism (or national-socialism in case of Hitler's) is represented by unnecessary deaths, and all of the great revolutionaries are guilty as charged. You may lick the blood of their hands and call murder a necessity. It is up to your conscience. I cannot.

Quoting thehandsom: Quoting Daydreamer: Quoting thehandsom: As I promised to daydreamer
Jean-Paul Sartre, about Che Guevara "the most complete human being of our age". |
Thehandsom, feel free to admire whoever you want, but he is as much of a hero as Adolf Hitler is. There are worldwide organizations praising the latter although he hasn't become as commercialised a symbol as Che Guevara did. I recall a saying that even killing one person shows there's something wrong with you. If you think the pool of blood Che Guevara is responsible of still makes him your romantic (sic!) hero - I'm speechless. I have read his biography so it's not really that I know nothing about him. Here's something I found online - a bit lengthy but being such a fan, you may want to give it some time:

I will read it later on..
But day dreaming girl, he was not working for a charity..
He was a revolutionist with his Kalashnikov in one hand.
The other hand?
He was carrying a torch and trying to light the fire of freedom as he went along from one country to another.
He was the most heroic of all the revolutionists in the world.
And he will remain that way..
|
whats result of his revolution?
was it fruitful?

You have no idea what you are talking about. do you?
ps..I always suspected that some eastern block ignorant women would think 'ah, in old days, I could not buy any stockings . because there was not any. so, down with revolutionists. Now we have marks and spencers and I can even buy thongs. long live democracy'

You are day dreaming.. |
That's what I do for life. But at least I don't make murderers my heroes, comrade |
I have seriously enjoyed readibg your discussion about Che and revolutionaries. It was very informative.
But on a lighter note, the discussion made me recall my first thought when I saw the picture femme uploaded of me. I had felt honoured that she would think I had an air of Che about me, now I'm not so sure :-S
