http://www.barra-bravas.com.ar/tpo90.JPG

and that quote in my signature


"i don't think you and i are very closely related, but if you are capable of trembling with indignation each time that an injustice is committed in this world, we are comrades and that is more important"

[Socialsmo o Muerte]

"Football is not just a game, it's a weapon of the revolution"

Not the greatest of political quotes, but I like it.

Everyone knows all the Che quotes. I'm sure this has been done before.

[ShootCoward]

In a conversation between Che and Nikolai Leonov (working in Cuba for the Soviets) in February 1960:

Leonov: "So, it's true, you are really serious about building socialism?"

Guevara: "Yes, I'm going to devote my life to it. That's why first, I was reading, to build later."

I just really like it.
After talking with Che for a night, Leonov later admitted to practically falling in love with him.

[All My Stitches Itch]

"silence is arguement carried out by other means"

theres also another one, which i translated from someones signature:

"it is necessary to harden without never losing the tenderness"

(sorry if its a bad translation but, give me a break, i dont speak spanish)

:D

[Subversive Pessimist]

That's my quote, :)


Yeah, that's basically it, I think. ;)

[Pawn Power]

While envisaging the destruction of imperialism, it is necessary to identify its head, which is no other than the United States of America.

Che in the Message to the Tricontinental


:che:

[refuse_resist]

The ones on my signature, plus this one...


"We must bear in mind that imperialism is a world system, the last stage of capitalism-and it must be defeated in a world confrontation. The strategic end of this struggle should be the destruction of imperialism. Our share, the responsibility of the exploited and underdeveloped of the world, is to eliminate the foundations of imperialism: our oppressed nations, from where they extract capital, raw materials, technicians, and cheap labor, and to which they export new capital-instruments of domination-arms and all kinds of articles, thus submerging us in an absolute dependence."

[rahul]

"It is necessary to distinguish clearly between sabotage, a revolutionary and highly effective method of warfare, and terrorism, a measure that is generally ineffective and indiscriminate in its results, since it often makes victims of innocent people and destroys a large number of lives that would be valuable to the revolution

[rahul]

At the risk of sounding ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by feelings of love.

[rahul]

I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.

It is not a matter of wishing success to the victim of aggression, but of sharing his fate; one must accompany him to his death or to victory.

[rahul]

To accomplish much you must first lose everything.

I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.' - facing his assassin

I would rather die standing up, then live life on my knees.

We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it

[rahul]

Memorable Quotes from
Che! (1969)
[Che is falling behind on a march]
Fidel Castro: Stragglers are sure to die, don't you know that?
Che Guevara: I'm not a straggler, I'm your rear guard.
Fidel Castro: No you're not, you're the company doctor. See what you can do for the men with blistered feet. You've got ten minutes.
Che Guevara: (noticing enemy planes flying overhead) It's too late for chiropody. The buzzards are already circling.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Che Guevara: The peasant is like a wild flower in the forest, and the revolutionary like a bee. Neither can survive or propogate without the other. There is one essential difference between us and bees, however. In this hive, I will *not* tolerate drones!

[rahul]

We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it

[rahul]

Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel

[rahul]

Our every action is a battle cry against imperialism, and a battle hymn for the people's unity against the great enemy of mankind: the United States of America. Wherever death may surprise us, let it be welcome, provided that this, our battle cry, may have reached some receptive ear, that another hand may be extended to wield our weapons, and that other men be ready to intone our funeral dirge with the staccato singing of the machine guns and new battle cries of war and victory. - Ernesto Che Guevara

[rahul]

I am not interested in dry economic socialism. We are fighting against misery, but we are also fighting against alienation. One of the fundamental objectives of Marxism is to remove interest, the factor of individual interest, and gain, from people's psychological motivations. Marx was preoccupied both with economic factors and with their repercussions on the spirit. If communism isn't interested in this too, it may be a method of distributing goods, but it will never be a revolutionary way of life. - Ernesto Che Guevara



The amount of poverty and suffering required for the emergence of a Rockefeller, and the amount of depravity that the accumulation of a fortune of such magnitude entails, are left out of the picture, and it is not always possible to make the people in general see this. - Ernesto Che Guevara



The monopoly capitalists - even while employing purely empirical methods - weave around art a complicated web which converts it into a willing tool. The superstructure of society ordains the type of art in which the artist has to be educated. Rebels are subdued by its machinery and only rare talents may create their own work. The rest become shameless hacks or are crushed. - Ernesto Che Guevara



I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves. - Ernesto Che Guevara



Where a government has come into power through some form of popular vote, fraudulent or not, and maintains at least an appearance of constitutional legality, the guerrilla outbreak cannot be promoted, since the possibilities of peaceful struggle have not yet been exhausted. - Ernesto Che Guevara



We are doing everything possible to give labor this new status of social duty and to link it on the one side with the development of a technology which will create the conditions for greater freedom, and on the other side with voluntary work based on a Marxist appreciation of the fact that man truly reaches a full human condition when he produces without being driven by the physical need to sell his labor as a commodity. Man still needs to undergo a complete spiritual rebirth in his attitude towards his work, freed from the direct pressure of his social environment, though linked to it by his new habits. That will be communism. - Ernesto Che Guevara



There is no other definition of socialism valid for us than that of the abolition of the exploitation of man by man. - Ernesto Che Guevara

[rahul]

To die under the flag of Vietnam, of Venezuela, of Guatemala, of Laos, of Guinea, of Colombia, of Bolivia, of Brazil-to name only a few scenes of today's armed struggle-would be equally glorious and desirable for an American, an Asian, an African, even a European. - Ernesto Che Guevara



Each spilt drop of blood, in any country under whose flag one has not been born, is an experience passed on to those who survive, to be added later to the liberation struggle of his own country. And each nation liberated is a phase won in the battle for the liberation of one's own country. - Ernesto Che Guevara



There are no boundaries in this struggle to the death. We cannot be indifferent to what happens anywhere in the world, for a victory by any country over imperialism is our victory; just as any country's defeat is a defeat for all of us. - Ernesto Che Guevara



Each time a country is freed, we say, it is a defeat for the world imperialist system, but we must agree that real liberation or breaking away from the imperialist system is not achieved by the mere act of proclaiming independence or winning an armed victory in a revolution. Freedom is achieved when imperialist economic domination over a people is brought to an end. - Ernesto Che Guevara



The socialist countries have the moral duty of liquidating their tacit complicity with the exploiting countries of the West. - Ernesto Che Guevara



Arms cannot be regarded as merchandise in our world. They should be delivered to the peoples asking for them for use against the common enemy without any charge at all, and in quantities determined by the need and their availability. - Ernesto Che Guevara

[rahul]

We should like to see this Assembly (UN) shake itself out of complacency and move forward. We should like to see the committees begin their work and not stop at the first confrontation. Imperialism wishes to convert this meeting into a pointless oratorical tournament, instead of solving the grave problems of the world. We must prevent their doing so. This Assembly should not be remembered in the future only by the number 19, which identifies it. Our efforts are directed to prevent that. - Ernesto Che Guevara



Under the discredited flag of the United Nations, dozens of countries under the military leadership of the United States participated in this war with the massive intervention of U.S. soldiers and the use, as cannon fodder, of the South Korean population that was enrolled. - Ernesto Che Guevara



Imperialism and Neo-colonialism

Imperialism has been defeated in many partial battles. But it remains a considerable force in the world, and we cannot expect its final defeat save through effort and sacrifice on the part of all of us. - Ernesto Che Guevara



As long as imperialism exists, it will, by definition, exert its domination over other countries. Today that domination is called neocolonialism. - Ernesto Che Guevara



The slogan "We will not allow another Cuba" hides the possibility of perpetrating aggressions without fear of reprisal, such as the one carried out against the Dominican Republic or before that the massacre in Panama-and the clear warning stating that Yankee troops are ready to intervene anywhere in America where the ruling regime may be altered, thus endangering their interests. - Ernesto Che Guevara



We must bear in mind that imperialism is a world system, the last stage of capitalism-and it must be defeated in a world confrontation. The strategic end of this struggle should be the destruction of imperialism. Our share, the responsibility of the exploited and underdeveloped of the world, is to eliminate the foundations of imperialism: our oppressed nations, from where they extract capital, raw materials, technicians, and cheap labor, and to which they export new capital-instruments of domination-arms and all kinds of articles, thus submerging us in an absolute dependence. - Ernesto Che Guevara

My favorite as well, but the next stanzas speak about moral disipline, never forget moral disipline as a factor.

[Pasionaria]

"La revolución se lleva en el corazón,no en la boca para vivir de ella."

:rolleyes:

[rahul]

can you transilate thatt?,,pas...........?

[Pasionaria]

Well,I´m trying to translate it,but in english change the structure of the phrase.

"You have to carry the revolution in your heart and not in your mouth to live of it"

It could be that.

[Colombia]

Why is "ella" in that phrase?

[Pasionaria]

"ella" means in Castillian "she",but in the context (in English there isn´t sex for objects) is "it".

[Essential Insignificance]

"Let's be realistic and try the impossible." :lol: :lol:

So true, so very true. :lol:

[Wiesty]

one of my favorites

"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

[FriedFrog]

"The part that a woman can play in the development of a revolutionary process is of extraordinary importance"

Guerrilla Warfare

Im not a woman, but in the 1960's when it was written, that would have shocked so many people across the imperial world.

[Hopes_Guevara]

Wherever death may surprise us, let it be welcome, provided that this, our battle cry, may have reached some receptive ear and another hand may be extended to wield our weapons and other men be ready to intone the funeral dirge with the staccato singing of the machine-guns and new battle cries of war and victory. - Message to Tricontinental

Once again I feel beneath my heels the ribs of Rocinante. Once more, I'm on the road with my shield on my arm...
... Many will call me an adventurer, and that I am....only one of a different sort: one who risks his skin to prove his truths...
... Now a willpower that I have polished with an artist's delight will sustain some shaky legs and some weary lungs. I will do it. Give a thought once in a while to this little soilder of fortune of the twentieth century - Letter to the parents

But is not as coward as guys who fabricated this lie in order to smear the good repute of a hero just because they were afraid of Che.

Yes, of course, and he also fucked up the defence against the Bay of Pigs Invasion and he killed a 12-year-old... how do we know? Why, because Humberto Fontova said so of course! A Cuban exile writing for a perfectly objective and neutral libertarian rag, umm, website, how could anyone doubt such a source?! :lol:

The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.

hahaha you f...ing idiot you cant even get the pathetic FAKE quote right!!!

read what you wrote carefully!!

"Don't kill me. I am worth much more to you dead than alive."

if you did mean "I am worth much more to you dead than alive" then the first bit should be "Kill Me" thus not been a coward!

but the fake quote anyways is "Don&#39;t kill me. I am worth much more to you alive than dead." <<hrm hrm putting the word dead at the end of quote and alive before it hrm hrm>>

The EZLN or (Zapatistas) in Mexico are named after him

'A society that cannot read or write is easily decieved.'

If I could change that quote I'd say a society that DOESN'T read or write is easily deceived. Alot of people can read and write but they just don't bother and are easily deceived. :confused:

[Brognor]

As my Signature says: - "A real Rebel never hides his face" - Ernesto "Che" Guevara -

I agree partly with that because if there is a group of rebels that can easily get caught they better cover their faces. If there is a massive Revolution then it should be done without any mask or something.

[Diello]

As my Signature says: - "A real Rebel never hides his face" - Ernesto "Che" Guevara -

[TheGodlessUtopian]

"The executions by firing squad are not only a necessity for the people of Cuba,but also an imposition by the people." -Che Guevara, February 5,1959 in a letter to Luis Paredes Lopez of Buenos Aires.

A rather bold claim to make!

[pastradamus]

Dont know if these have been posted already, but they are my own personal favourites.


If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.

The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.

Now in the mountains and fields of America, on its flatlands and in its jungles, in the wilderness or in the traffic of cities, on the banks of its great oceans or rivers, this world is beginning to tremble. Anxious hands are stretched forth, ready to die for what is theirs, to win those rights that were laughed at by one and all for 500 years.



I like this one from Fidel Castro, speaking about Che in 1997.


Why did they think that by killing him, he would cease to exist as a fighter? ... Today he is in every place, wherever there is a just cause to defend.

[Brognor]

Lol, true, Diello xD
Damn, I was so different back in '09... I gotta write a new introduction...

I don't understand why y'all like him.

From The Motorcyle Diaries:

"The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations."

John Lee Anderson deals with this right wing myth about Che's racism in his (most acclaimed) biography of the man, 'A Revolutionary Life'.

Basically that remark was made when Che was a young man, hailing from privileged white Argentine family, during his travels throughout America, in Venezuela specifically. That is, he wasn't politically conscious at that point of his life. Only after his Latin American journey and then some did he start developing his leftist character. He himself says so in his writings. Anderson also adds that once Che came to the US, only several months after this remark was made, that he was appalled by the treatment of blacks and criticized the US government. Later Che Guevara, the revolutionary, was anything but racist. He advocated for ending segregated school system based on race in Cuba among many other things. And we all know he went to Congo and fought alongside Congolese revolutionists
