    I'm kind of sick of people looking at me crazy when I say I am a Guevarist. We need to start a movement for Guevarist with the aim to make the socialist parties take a more revolutionary stance and more outward international revolutionary stance. My party (PSL) is very open about being Guevarist but I think it is time to make our voices heard and to tell the socialist parties that we will not help a non-revolutionary party I'm so sick of reformist.

    so comrade, what do Guevarist revolutionaries want, foco guerrillas in all of latin america, do you not see that although Commander Guevara was a true revolutionary, his foco theory was incorrect, we must wait for the conditions to ferment, then rise through the working class.
    Guerrilla actions mostly lead to nothing, and in the present day, urban guerrilla warfare is much more logical than rural guerrilla warfare
    I am not trying to start an arguement, just debate comrade.

    The idea that a small group of armed revolutionaries are enough for revolution if working in an atmosphere where the wider masses are also hostile to the bourgeoisie.

    At least that's how I have understood it.

    I AGREE WITH YOU 100% But nowadays reformists are not what annoys me but so called radical marxists! All they ever do is organize endless protests and demonstrations complain about this and that, once in a while cry like babies about police brutality when one of them gets a tear gas canister to the jaw- as in they will do everything BUT revolution! No one who agitates workers should pick up a placard since his/her hands should be holding a gun on one side and an even bigger gun on the other.
    Sad thing is, one can't convince the so called radicals that what they are doing is no different from the opportunists! A revolutionary should strike fear into the hearts of those in power

    That's true - with enough people realizing Che's argument is the only precursor to a global revolution, that would be enough. We have many hotspots in the world that can use a foco - kinda goes hand in hand with Lenin's earlier description of the vanguard party (this time though think armed group) which is small and disciplined but has the whole mass behind it
