Che Guevara Brigade?!

[RedAnarchist]

http://www.tkb.org/Group.jsp?groupID=3982

Apparently, this was a terrorist orginaztion claiming to be left-wing in Argentina. Its the first i've ever heard of them.

Does anyone have any other info on them? Were they actually Communist, even though they used terrorism?

[Non-Sectarian Bastard!]

Terrorism?! What are you talking about.


The group targeted officials believed to be involved in the death of infamous international terrorist Ernesto “Che” Guevara. The Che Guevara Brigade allegedly assassinated General Joaquin Zenteno Anaya and former President Juan Jose Torres Gonzalez, both of Bolivia and both involved in the military operation against Che Guevara.


The Che Guevara Brigade also attacked U.S. facilities in Argentina.


In another attack, the group protested the possible privatization of a state-owned Argentine telecommunications company.

Explain to me what terrorism is.

[RedAnarchist]

Terrorism is attacking civilians, which they were not doing.

I'm wrong on their classification - they are urban guerillas, not terrorists.

[Non-Sectarian Bastard!]

They did attack civilians. They attacked business officials and a telecommunication centre, which is a civilian target.

[Karl Marx's Camel]

What were their estimated number when they were most active?

What is their estimated number today?

When was their last attack?

[viva le revolution]

We will always be terrorists in the view of the media, any revolutionary will be branded terrorist, any guerilla movement will be branded terrorist just because it opposes the neo-con, imperialist worldview. Just because an organization raises it's head for freedom against the oppression and global hegemony of the corrupt oligarch serpents against the worker the world over!
The imperialist media brnding someone terrorist is nothing new, the capitalist system has pursued witchhunts like these since the Mccarthy days.
Those that sided with the Bolivian puppet regime during Guevara's time deserve to be killed, just as anyone who defends capitalist hegemony deserves to be.

Its called selective terrorism. The examples that Non-Sectarian Bastard gave above (like that assassination of those generals and stuff), are all examples of selective terror; they were all aimed at a specific group of people. It's not like the indiscriminate terror of Sept 11, this terror is selective and is a part of guerrilla warfare. The VC did similar assassinations in vietnam as did the revolutionaries in Cuba too. There's a chapter on selective terrorism in Guevara's book: Guerrilla warfare.

I got 2 statements:

1.) This would most definantly clear Guevara's name in where I heard that "he" attacked American facilitys. This is an example of people carrying out ruthless attacks on places under someones name, such as the Crusades. In this case though, I find it to be an honorable cause.

2.) Tupac, it is kinda funny hearing this from a person with a name of a branded terrorist. Tupac-Amaru group was easily labled as a terrorist, even to me. How do you defend a name such ruthless as Tupac-Amaru?

[Tupac-Amaru]

I defend it by tell you that i took that name NOT in honor of the modern revolutionary movement, but in honor of the Inca revolutionary who revolted against the spanish in the 1700s. The modern movement took its name from him.

Plus, although i am not a firm supporter of the MRTA, i dont consider them terrorists...i consider them guerrillas using selective terror...which i spoke about just above.

[Domingo]

Friend, I will not argue with you on this one, but I truely belive that you should look up on the so called "Selective-Terrorist." And by the way, I overlooked the Inca part, my bad.

[bolshevik butcher]

Surley the U$ and Israel carry out selective terror as well.

Of course they do.

They call them "Counter-Terrorist"

Same thing to me, look at the CIA:

1.) assasinations
2.) kidnappings
3.) Starting Coup's

and so on

[bolshevik butcher]

come to think of it the U$ does normal terrorsim as well.

[Domingo]

Now you see the light.

[SpeCtrE]

I remember coming here for the first time and asking the same question, are they still active or what.?

I came across them when I read JLA's book on Che. They assasinated General Joaquin Anaya and some other. But if I am not much mistaken, I think he was assasinated in Paris. Does this mean that they have gone international?

I think also Felix Rodriguez claims that he was marked for death by that Group.

That about it.... Hope they are still active, it wouldn't matter what methods they use to fight the sacred war, it wouldn't matter.

hehe, i nver said the U$ didn't practise terrorism, but i think that it is unacceptable for socialists to do so.

[Colombia]

Current Goals: The Che Guevara Brigade is believed to be inactive.


Why are you guys still asking if they are active?

[fernando]

I think it's some extreme form of nostalgia ;)

[che's long lost daughter]

Che, an international terrorist??? Oh well, that's right wing propaganda. Maybe the group is just branded as terrorist for the same reason Che was called as such.

[SpeCtrE]

Yeah,

Nostalgia on my part]

Miss Che,

Wish he was alive ....:(

[Domingo]

Yeah, isnt that something. America labels Che as a terrorist, yet they are the ones who murdered him (truely) and countless others.

Who is the true terrorist? Needless to say......
