    hmm thats a tough one considering he is not here to answer that himself, but according to his Afro-Asia speech it seems to me that he had much to say on technology. we all know the internet was the "baby" of the dept of defense" .(so we are told)
    as far as mr dlr goes...he makes a good point, but i have my issues about that. for instance if i wanna appear to be some kind of "goody two shoes" sympathizer i'll go back to church. (society)

    oh and one more thing pycho chicken...do you really think speaking on change would be considered just that or more like "conspiracy" its not that im paranoid but in these days of the "terrorists" silence seems almost "goldern" too bad gold isnt all that, i would rather have wisdom.

    well it all depends on your definition of action. i believe action is also boycotting companies and their products, which i do all the time. action isn't just violence and protests

    I can't see why Che would not agree. He loved to share ideas and the Internet is the widest community in history, so in that respect, I'm sure he'd love that.

    As for Zack's comment, I believe it's unfair. We all have our own form of social protest.

    I think he would promote it, for reasons like this - - a message board devoted to his causes etc.

    Also it shares new ideas and information


    but it can be a place where you can be overwhelmed by ads and e-commerce


    i still think he would support it

    I think that Che would have used it to spread the word of revolution as far afield as possible and bring in more supporters from all around the world. Basically what this site is doing now. It would be a chance to use the largest and least controlled (in the good sense, eg no censorship of politics) to spread his message.

    Not anybody are even able to take action, but it doesn't mean that they are covards or something.

    Some of us are ready to risk their lives for what they believe in. Some of us won't take guns, but they do lots of other things, as important.

    For Che, I agree with El Commandante. Che would use web for spread the dispatch of revolution.

    Can you imagine? Che's own website... Sounds funny to me.

    I agree strongly that Che would of loved the internet,
    as it is the easiest way to spread the news of socialism, with such speed, and people themselves would learn about the revolution under their own power and control and therefore appreciate it more.

    Why doesn't Cuba have internet access?

    Why doesn't Fidel Castro allow his people to use the internet and share ideas with people outside of Cuba?

    Sharing of ideas / Openess / NO NO NO! - can't allow any counter-revolutionary ideas to enter Cuba.

    I think he would have liked it. It's the perfect launch pad for revolution.
