Che Guevara, an Argentinian and a doctor by profession, had travelled across South America in the 1950s dreaming about overturning the United States’ capitalist exploitation of Latin America after witnessing acute hunger and poverty in the region. His opportunity to do so presented itself in 1955 in Mexico when he met Fidel Castro, a Cuban revolutionary.
Che Guevara, Fidel Castro and his brother Raul Castro then sailed to Cuba to rebel against the government. In Cuba, they led a two-year guerrilla campaign and war where Guevara rose to prominence and was promoted to second-in-command.
The war was eventually won in in 1959 and the brutal US backed dictator, Fulgencio Batista, was deposed and Castro assumed the political and military power as the Prime Minister of Cuba.
Castro’s initial promises to the Cuban people about elections and democracy quickly dissipated, to be replaced by a brutal Communist dictatorship, headed by him and his lieutenant Che.
Castro and Che rounded up at least 100,000 Cubans and put them in concentration camps, tens of thousands of them ended up being executed after going through a Kangaroo trial.
Once in power, Che Guevara assumed the role of sole jury and executioner under Fidel Castro’s regime, in 1950’s Cuba. The body count is hard to pin down with accuracy, but Che himself admitted to ordering hundreds of executions at La Cabaña during the first year alone.
Many individuals imprisoned at La Cabaña, including human rights activist Armando Valladares, testify that Guevara took a personal interest in the interrogation, torture, and the execution of countless of political prisoners.
Those who managed to survive say he frequently delivered the killing blow himself in the side of the victim’s head with his own pistol. In a speech in front of the United Nations in 1964, Guevara proudly admitted that “yes, we have executed, we are executing, we will continue to execute.”
On the whole, the “Black Book of Communism” estimated that between 15,000 and 17,000 people were executed by Che, Castro and the Cuban Communist regime.
Che’s credo was: “if in doubt, kill him” and on various occasions people were executed according to his whims. He boasted of murdering Eutimio Guerra, after he suspected him of being a traitor, bragging in his diary how he “ended the problem with a .32 caliber pistol, in the right side of his brain.”
He believed in doing anything it took to achieve “the greater good” he envisioned for Cuba. During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, Guevara favored engaging in nuclear war to “build a better world.” After the crisis was averted he lamented Soviet inaction, stating that if the missiles had been under Cuban control, he would have fired them.
“At every stage of his adult life,” the Cuban American historian Alvaro Vargas Llosa noted of Guevara, “his megalomania manifested itself in the predatory urge to take over other people’s lives and property, and to abolish their free will.”
Despite all of that, Che Guevara, the executioner, mass killer and totalitarian tyrant, remains, for more than 40 years after his death, the iconic emblem of ignorant “idealists” all over the world.
And today this murderer is admired by empty headed useful idiots worldwide, who ignorantly and proudly wear his image on their shirt, when they go for “pro democracy”, “human rights” and “anti war” demonstrations.

From the very political point of view, the 19th century in Latin America started in 1808 when the emancipation of the subordinated people against the foreign (Spanish & Portuguese) rule started (and finished in 1826) and was over with the beginning of the Great War in Europe in 1914. The struggle for independence was extremely speeded up by the French military-political subjection of the Iberian Peninsula when both Spain and Portugal lost direct connections with their overseas colonies. Such a new geopolitical situation fostered domestic Latin American patriotic nationalism which demanded political independence, administrative sovereignty, and economic self-administration instead of ...
American capitalism is based on plunder. With the continental USA plundered, American capitalism hoped to continue enriching itself by plundering Russia as it did under Yeltsin, carefully including the Russian “Atlanticist Integrationists” in the spoils in order to have support from the liberal, progressive forces in Russia for stripping Russia of its assets. But Putin more or less put a halt to the American/Israeli rape of Russia, although it still continues through the neoliberal economics that Harvard brainwashed into the Russian central bank and economics profession. Brainwashed Russian economists are the main reason Washington is able to punish a powerful ...
