Are There any Ches today?

[Nobody]

Are there any people who, like che, fight in various revolutions around the world. Names if you got them.

[Dirty Commie]

Other than sub-comandante Marcos in Chiapas I can't think of any, then again, he is still only in Mexico, and not a Marxist.

[Kapitan Andrey]

Dirty Commie...Wait a minute!?!? You mean, that member of forum named sub-comandante Marcos is real revolutioneer!?

[Dirty Commie]

No! I mean the REAL subcomandante Marcos... the guy here isn't him... I think.

The real one, I believe, is in mexico. Leading the Zapatistas.......I'm sure that you've heard of them mentioned around here before :)

[RAGING BULL]

In Chiapas, south in Mexico

[Kapitan Andrey]

...oh...I heard, that they are VERY passive in their actions...so we call it "Passive Revolution"...

[Dirty Commie]

He is in Southeast Mexico, in the state of Chiapas...The Zapatista movement he leads fights for independence for the indiginous people.

He has a large persomality, always has a pipe and a gun in his hand. I heard that no omne realy knows his past, but he was probably educated in Europe.

[one sick kid]

None that i can think of off the top of my head, but Michael Moore in my eyes is a modern revoloutionary.

[ComradeJunichi]

Any "Che's" today? Hm, I'm sure there are many revolutionary figures, if that's what you're asking. Anyone specific? I'm not too sure, but some other people mentioned Sub-Commandante Marcos in Chiapas.

Marcos remains mysterious but the most beleivable theory is that he is a middle-aged (actually kind old late 40's) retired philosophy professor. It is beleived that this old professor man who dissapeared in the late 80's around the time the EZLN was forming is Marcos. The professor was a Marxist and also very interested in art, some murals found in Zapatista villages are rumored to closely resemble his work. If this is really Marcos then he would be similar to Che in many respects, a petty-burgeois college graduate who abandoned his way of life for the peoples struggle. Here is a good website for more info, it has damned near everything one could want: http://struggle.ws/zapatista.html

I heard that he was educated in Europe and possibly the united states for several years. Either way, that is almost the same story I heard about his past.

[soul83]

I searched and read about him but I don't know who the person is or what he's fighting for.... I just can't come into grips with him

[mamboman]

What about FARC leader Manuel Marulanda, better known as Tiro Fijo.... and don't forget the leaders of the Tupac Katari Guerrilla Army in Bolivia...

[soul83]

What about Italian Carlo Giuliani and Argentine Dario Santillan and Maximiliano Kosteki ??!! They all died for the sake of their revolution just like Che did.
