castro won the hearts of everyone hence Batista running away from Cuba and him taking over.
I just can't fully think that Che had this in mind.
Che even said bad stuff about the Russian Govt when it was the Cold War. It was Fidel who had to talk to him to calm him down or w.e so he doesn't fuk up their relations
then he went off to bolivia and died there.. but if u guys also saw motorcycle diaries:
Che took a year off from doctorate school to tour latin america and it was when he went to bolivia that he actually saw a different latin america from what he knew and grew up with. (he grew up in a wealthy family in argentina)
i understand the man was tough and in a time of war bad things are done and ppl are killed.. but something in me just doesn't think the Che is on the same level as Fidel.
The revolution was supposed to be a good thing, much better than their current state and Fidel used that to his advantage..
Lastly - haha. Fidel to me.. is and always will be a piece of shit. I just don't think him and Che are the same and my dad is one of the *very* few cubans who doesn't have a problem with Che... maybe that's why my views are more broader than maybe a Marielitos..
He was a very interesting - smart - young man .. great speaker. I am buying Che and Motorcycle Diaries to add to my collection.
500th edit - No matter ur views on the guy.. I just hope u guys can see Che and maybe even Motorcycle Diaries (it has the hot Mexican actor from Amorres Perros and Y Tu Mama Tambien).
