    I think Che should've been judged by both. In other words, they should've been weighed carefully. Afterall, that's why Lady Justice carries a scale, to weigh both sides of one story. Also, I think he was merely a misguided anti-hero, like Red Hood or Richmond Valentine. They didn't need to die, they needed only another way.

    90% of all US media (print,tv,internet,radio) is controlled by 6 companies. So I'd argue Che was correct in claiming that newspapers are instruments for the Oligarchy. Even if it wasn't true then it is exactly what happened. That being said there are certainly better ways of fixing the issue than abolishing the freedom of the press. These alternatives however, would certainly be labeled as communist in the US by the institutions they seek to change.

Data is cherry picked and broken apart to obscure true events, and small but negative things are blown out of proportion and made to look like the entire thing is bad, without focusing on the good side. Facts are misinterpreted and depicted in a different way to the actual event, changing the meaning as a whole and Western media is heavily biased towards the right and will do anything to disregard the left (I'm not a Democrat and I do not support them - they are a center-right political party).

My grandpa went to jail for associations with him and communist related things, idk. Apparently during the time of his search, the letters exchanged between him and my grandpa were buried under my aunts house that was being built in Bolivia at the time.

    On several of my visits to Bolivia, I remember seeing pictures of Guevara in many places. He was very known around these parts especially from my dad. However I myself haven't known much about him besides labels like revolutionary or extremist so I came to this video with an open mind. Here's my conclusion, while I don't agree with several of his actions and tactics, I think I would mostly be on his side because of how greedy and tyrannical the United States was on Latin America which he had the difficult task of matching. Although as I said, his heart may have been in the right place and he did do a lot of good in those nations, its just he did make some very questionable choices as well.

Che admits he was becoming a bit distracted at one point Castro says, do we have a real economist among us?! Che raised his hand and was appointed the new head of Revolutionary Banking and Finance. Che later admits he misheard the request and thought Fidel asked "Do we have a real Communist among us?

That being said, It isn’t about having to choose between government and oligarchy because there considered the same thing. However, the goal for Guevara and most communists during the period was to push out the oligarchy who controled the monetary system and propaganda and place them under there own control in order to push their communist agenda which was to replace the capitalist monetary system with the communist monetary system. I simply agreed with Guevaras claim, doesn’t mean i agree that Communism is less cruel than capitalism.

    3:10 wait what? They did have fair trials spanning several months that were described as "above board, if summary" with lawyers, prosecutors, witnesses and an attending public. No executions were passed for civilians, only members of the police or military. And Che urged the judges to be scrupulous about weighing the evidence in each case. If the accused had simply hit a prisoner, they of course wouldn't be executed. The death sentence was reserved for war crimes. And look, I'm generally against the death sentence, but I suspect the people here accusing the new Cuban government of brutality don't hold the same opinion about the Nuremberg trials or even the death sentences passed in America to this day

    Simple che guevara had the Right ideas but the way he went to pursue such goals untimely lead to more harm then good. We can't deny the good stuff that happened like universal health care and literacy but he also was instrumental in bringing Fidel Castro who was more oppressive than the last dictator. So in a nutshell che did more bad then good

    @Danielle looking from sociological point of view, if you are given power then you are bestowed upon a duty, your duty is another person's right. This way humans can mutually survive and co exist.

    @@billyb501stlegion5 The problem here is that the points opposing his good legacy aren’t really substantiated. It’s really just propaganda talking points perpetuated in the red scare era. Funny thing is people don’t realize the US government (but really the wealthy oligarchs) actually had the monopoly of information through media and used it. Therefore, it is ridiculous to assert the Cuban government controlled the information through education as it is a projection of how the US did operate and continues to operate (although the internet makes it difficult for the monopolization of information now). By any measure that one would truthfully assert the the negative aspects of Cuba, the US will have it beat considerably.

    Have you ever realized that the revolution never comes to a finish? You know why that is? Because achieving a communist utopia is impossible, and even if it were, the dictatorship of the "proletariat" would never dissolve itself. They are people like you, me, and even the n*zis, not gods.

    @@ollikoskiniemi6221 The revolution is immortal. It isn't supposed to come to an end. We cannot know if we will ever reach absolute Communism as it represents a society that has reached complete perfection. But we must strive to perfection regardless. We must yearn for a better future because that's what it means to be human. Imagining a better society and then casting it off as "A utopia, too perfect, impossible to achieve" is a coward's way out.

Marx himself was a middle class man. It's not as if the poorer people tried to resist communism either. Communism is often very attractive to people in poorer countries, especially the countries who gained independence from colonial powers after WW2.
