Ok, I decided that instead of sending each person that wants it a copy, I'm gonna post things I've written. Remember the copyrights!!! :P

A Revolutionary Man

“The Marxist must be the best, the most complete of human beings but, always, above everything else, a human being: a party militant who lives and vibrates when in contact with the masses; a tireless worker who gives all to his people; a hard worker to his hours of rest, his personal tranquility, his family, or his life to Revolution; a man who is never alien to the warmth of human contact” –Che Guevara
Those are the words of one of the greatest revolutionary leaders in the world’s history, because of this we must try to be like the description above in order to make revolution a be a “good” revolutionary.

A revolutionary man needs especial qualities, qualities which will bring this man to succeed in revolution. Qualities such as: a high morale, unity, knowledge, a rebel spirit, courage, confidence, and most of all he shall have determination to make revolution.
But as Che would say: “In order to construct communism simultaneously with the material base of our society, we must create a new man.” So we need to create new man with these qualities.

“It is necessary to begin to work to achieve unity- an important factor in any revolutionary struggle” –Ernesto Guevara.
This quote it’s clear that what we need to look forward on doing is achieving unity and come together with one mind and one purpose. If all the revolutionaries come together and have unity then they’ll be stronger and more powerful than the capitalist.

Confidence and courage come after that. Without confidence nothing can be accomplished since without it you wouldn’t believe you can achieve the goals planned in the revolution. Without courage rebels won’t go anywhere, since they have to be brave and risk even their own lives. In revolution you either die or win so with courage and confidence you can go to the top and win.

Now, in revolution you need knowledge gained by reading about communism and Marxism which helps a lot, but experience teaches you more than books when making revolution, what is called the “extraordinary university of experience.”

Now in revolution everyone has to become a guerrilla fighter in attitude: a man in constant struggle against illiteracy, against imperialism, against underdevelopment, against reformism; for more production, for more consciousness. This is called Guerrilla Communism.

So I conclude saying that a revolutionary man has to be a very complete human being, but it doesn’t matter the qualities you have to make revolution, you only need to have revolution very deeply in your heart.

here goes another one...

Ernesto “Che” Guevara

Ernesto Guevara, better known as the Che Guevara, was an Argentinian doctor who joined Castro in Mexico in 1954; he was a leader of the 1956-59 Cuban Revolution. In 1965 he left Cuba to set up guerrilla force in Bolivia, where he was isolated and killed in October 1967 by the CIA and betrayed by the Bolivian people. But his life was more than that. He had strong beliefs, which led him to do things that were not interpreted as he wished.

Che believed in communism and was firmly an anti-imperialist. Because of this he tried to make a change, a revolution. He wanted to save the countries from the things he believed were wrong, and the worse for everybody. He wanted the best for the people of his country, of Cuba and all of LatinAmerica.If he could have gone far, he would have tried to make the world better for everybody on Earth, for what he thought was better.

Guevara was a member of the guerrilla, who tried to make a revolution, and he did. He changed many people’s mind, and made them believe that they shouldn’t have a mediocre mind. They should do as their minds think, and tell them to, and to fight for it, even if that meant that you would die. Even if he’s not a hero for many people, he was for many more. As Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr. he tried to change the world, but he didn’t do it in such a peaceful way. If he would have, maybe he would still be alive. And he said: " I believe in [the] armed struggle as the only solution for peoples who fight to liberate themselves and I am consistent with my beliefs. Many will call me an adventurer, and so I am, only one of a different kind, one of those who risked their skins to demonstrate the truth."

Thirty years after his death, Che Guevara has multiple incarnations--on the wall next to Jesus in homes of Salvadoran peasants; tattooed on the arm of Swedish Olympic boxer Kwamena Turkson; on countless T-shirts and as the name of a British beer; as the Christ figure in a mural of Chicano heroes called The Last Supper in Stanford University's Latino Dorm; on a banner borne by rock group Rage Against the Machine; as the choral observer in Evita; in an espionage thriller soon to be produced by Mick Jagger; in a film series to be shown in Brazil in August; on the French CD Che Vive--1967-1997; portrayed by Cheech Marin with cigar and beret in George magazine; and of course in Cuba everywhere, from souvenirs to the giant portrait overlooking the Plaza de la Revolución. He was a revolutionary leader, and he did a revolution. He’s remembered in hearts and minds, and kept with a great love, and many would like to make his communist dream come true. As one of their heroes, and their role models, they feel like they owe him something, for which one day they’ll try to succeed, and they are going to be brave as Che was.

But still, many are against him, against what he did. The CIA, and governments, and countries, wish he wouldn’t have done all the revolutionary things he did. They wanted to see him dead, and played with him. They betrayed him so they could kill him, before knowing his real intentions. On October 9th, 1967, Ernesto "Che" Guevara was put to death by Bolivian soldiers, trained, equipped and guided by U.S. Green Beret and CIA operatives. His execution remains an historic and controversial event; and thirty years later, the circumstances of his guerrilla foray into Bolivia, his capture, killing, and burial are still the subject of intense public interest and discussion around the world.
But what they don’t know is that many leaders are to come, inspired on Che Guevara, as many leaders come to try to make the world capitalist and try to govern all they can.

Che said “Patria o muerte” which means “mother country or death”. He loved his country, and because of this he wanted the best for it. He also said “until the victory always”, and somehow he had victory. He gained respect, and he did succeed, even if he didn’t acomplish what he would have liked to, because he got many people to try to fight for communism, for what they believe, fight for their country and for their beliefs.

To conclude I must say, that for bad or for good, Che Guevara will always be remembered and people will always talk about him, to say how wrong he was, or say how great he was. In my opinion, he was great, and I admire him, because of his bravery, and because of the way he used to think. He was against the government and anti-imperialism, and so I am. He did some great things, things that changed the world in which we are living today. If he was still alive he would still be fighting for a communist and better world, and he would be making more, and more revolution. That’s why he’s considered one of the most important revolutionary leaders from the 20th century and after him, to honor him, there’s people who will try to make a bigger revolution.
