The Domination of Nature - What did Che mean?

[YerbaMateJ]

In Che's farewell letter to his children, he said:
" Grow up as good revolutionaries. Study hard to be able to dominate the techniques that permit the domination of nature."
What did he mean by "domination of nature?"

i think he might of ment what he did despite his athsma he still went on and faught like a true hero
even when he developed an alergy to moskito bites he still went on

did the yanky pants get rid of there nukes in turkey when krushchev had to dismantle his
i heard that was part of the deal but nobody seems to know

My guess is that he was talking about science...which would suggest, perhaps, that he wanted his kids to be scientists or engineers.

:cool:

I am guessing that he was talking about what Marx called the "natural laws" that the distruction of the Capitalist system was inevitable... i...think...

" Grow up as good revolutionaries. Study hard
to be able to dominate the techniques that permit the domination of nature."

I think perhaps he was referring to capitalism and imperialism. Both of these dominate nature, hence we must dominate them, so as to supress their supression of the already supressed. Who knows?
