Che's Birthday

I think focalism was perfect for Cuban conditions, and for any other country ruled by imperialist powers at that time.

Not really, in South America protracted People's war was king, even the nominally focoist ELN and FARC essentially practised PPW

He's a hero, sure. But he was still a 'romantic' (read: non-histmat) revolutionary in the end. This incompability is what highlights him as a kind of existentialist revolutionary, a 'pure will' against historical forces.

Should he be condemned for this? In terms of theory, he should be criticized. But when it comes to morals, examples, purpose, he should be put on a pedestal.

The lesson? There is no over-arching strategy without the correct theory, regardless of exceptional human will.

May he rest in struggle.

yeah but Cuba's geographical position made it a lot harder for the US to interviene. I mean, look at Colombia and Nicaragua today, they're both shitholes compared to Cuba.

Why do you consider Che to be non historical materialist? What action or belief did he hold to make you believe this? I can understand why so many people here believe him to be a romantic revolutionary but going as far as saying this seems a bit too much imo. I mean I believe everyone here realizes Che was more of a ML than Castro ever was, I'm not trying to attack you but I just want to know why you believe this.

he actually wore several different watches, all of them set to different timezones so he could keep track of the political happenings with a sense of time relative to those timezones. Most of the watches were gifts from comrades.

TL;DR: you literally can't "force a revolution" if the socio-economic necessities aren't there.

Don't debate me, comrade, debate Marx & Lenin.

Again, based, still, non-Marxist.

I see. Tbh Che to me seems like a person that was "born" to constantly face and participate in revolutionary struggle. Like there was no way he would've stayed as a minister in Cuba forever. He had to constantly fight, even if it meant fighting somewhere where your defeat was guaranteed the second you got there. Idealistic? Yeah. Utopian? A little I suppose but I still find him so admirable and his desire to bring the revolution all across the world is truly incredible. He died doing what he loved most.

Communism doesn't work. Suck my big fat cock and get prepared for day ZERO when we gas all subhumans like you. Also fuck niggers and fuck trannies.
