This insightful paragraph written by brilliant intellectual Johann Hari really made me think:
The myth of Che Guevara is seductive and lush. It's the story of an Argentinian rich-boy who was so shocked by poverty he became a Robin Hood fighting alongside the poor, until eventually he was murdered by the CIA. But the reality of Che Guevara is very different. The facts show that he was a totalitarian with a messiah streak, who openly wanted to impose Maoist tyranny on the world. He was so fanatical that at the hottest moment in the Cold War, he even begged the Soviet Union to nuke New York or Washington or Los Angeles and bring about the end of the world.
Bring out your authentic Che quotes!
I'll start:
"I am not a liberator, liberators don't exist, I want to nuke everyone" - Ernesto "Che" Guevara
"The only solution to the terror and misery of imperialism is global nuclear war. Only in the cleansing flames of atomic radiation can humanity be liberated from capitalism and imperialism" - Ernesto "Che" Guevara
