Thanks to
The Libertarian, we have proof of why
Che Guevara is praised to such heights by the left (gracias por
Instapundit).
Che was no innocent freedom fighter. Known as ‘the Butcher of La
Cabaña’, Che Guevara is known to have ordered the execution of several
hundred people he suspected of betraying his communist ideology. Often,
he would have his soldiers and commanders shot without trial, in
numerous cases performing the executions himself. After successfully
taking over Cuba, Guevara proceeded to order the imprisonment of gay
men, sought the execution of all political dissidents, severely
restricted the press, tried to ban rock and roll music, and drove the
Cuban economy into the ground. In his youth, he was even known by many
of his friends to be an incurable racist, and rarely bathed. In
response to Che’s entirely undeserved popularity among
anti-establishment youth in the UK and around the world, many
organisations have begun to put up posters with select quotes
from the guerrilla fighter, titled, “Can You Tell Who Said What?: Che
Guevara or Adolf Hitler.” All the quotes, selected for their brutality,
are from Guevara.
Following in that vein, here are ten of the most revolting quotes
from every university student’s favourite ‘freedom fighter’, Che
Guevara:
Che Guevara
1) “Youth must refrain from ungrateful questioning of
governmental mandates. Instead, they must dedicate themselves to study,
work and military service.”
2) “Youth should learn to think and act as a mass. It is criminal to think as individuals!”
3) “The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!”
4) “We must do away with all newspapers. A revolution cannot be accomplished with freedom of the press.”
5) “To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is
unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is
a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine
motivated by pure hate.”
6) “Hatred is the central element of our struggle! Hatred so
violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations,
making him a violent and cold-blooded killing machine. Our soldiers
must be thus.”
7) “The blacks, those magnificent examples of the African race
who have conserved their racial purity by a lack of affinity with
washing, have seen their patch invaded by a different kind of slave: The
Portugese.”
8) “The black is indolent and fanciful, he spends his money on
frivolity and drink; the European comes from a tradition of working and
saving which follows him to this corner of America and drives him to get
ahead.”
9) “I fired a .32 caliber bullet into the right hemisphere of
his brain which came out through his left temple. He moaned for a few
moments, then died.”
10) “I’d like to confess, Papa, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing.”
