he cause was revolution mainly against capitalism and imperialism, correct? that being the case why after the Cuban revolution why didn't he go fight in any other of the Latin american countries (especially Bolivia his home country) where at the time there was a REAL demand for his cause, or any other country in the world, why would a racist who hates black chose Africa out of all places?

this actually could hurt your argument about Che caring about black/African people

one might argue that the reason he went to Africa as opposed to other south american countries after the Cuban revolution was because he didn't valued black/African peoples lives.

Che knew that war and revolution brought death and destruction and didn't mind African women and children dying in the name of his ideological belief.

It's the same thing with the Saudis and Qataris exporting their militant Wahhabi/Salafi ideology to other parts of the Islamic world whiles their Gulf Arab kingdoms remain stable and shiny.


Che Guevara was a terrorist like Osama bin Laden was. They both didn't mind using African people as pawns in the war with Western Capitalism.

Afro-South Americans didn't have a problem with him or problem with putting him on their murals, t-shirts, etc. Everyone else opinion is irrelevant.

is this any different than Black Christians wearing a t-shirt with a White Jesus?

was he working alongside them or were they working UNDER him?

Does it matter? He was the preeminent executor of revolutionary tactics. If they were under him, does that make their anti capitalist bound solidarity any less valid?

you have to understand Twism's rhetoric to understand the context. he wants to act like the demographics of Argentina are representative of all "Latin America"

I wasn't denying their Italian heritage. just saying that they consider themselves, and are, more 'European' then the rest of Central and South America

which is funny because I've been to argentina and actually recently studies showed 56% of their population was actually mixed with native. Since the bankruptcy in 2000 theyve had a cultural shift and no longer view themselves as europeans. They are much more willing to call themselves latin america. The pink tide and break away from the IMF (western bankers fukking them in the ass) helped with that too.

and you have to understand your rhetoric and its origins, you are a white american, and white americans believe that a drop of non european blood makes you a non european, im not saying that contruct is right or wrong, you can interpret it that way, i just simply reject that construct that you use, i think the african should look at north and south america as being composed of mostly descendants of europeans colonists and a culture that is fundamentally european, and europeans are the people that enslaved us so neither group of euro descendants are our friends, friend

it does matter whether he viewed the angolans and congolese as equal, co-revolutionaries or just pawns in his beef with the global western dominated capitalist structure
