I must admit that I was once a Che Guevara shirt-wearer… until I learned more about the truth behind this really crazy man.
Herewith we have some quotes of this not-so-good role model.
Che Guevara
- “Youth must refrain from ungrateful questioning of governmental mandates. Instead, they must dedicate themselves to study, work and military service.”
- “Youth should learn to think and act as a mass. It is criminal to think as individuals!”
- “The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!”
- “We must do away with all newspapers. A revolution cannot be accomplished with freedom of the press.”
- “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.”
- “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.”
- “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.”
- “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.”
- “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.”
- “I’d like to confess, Papa, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing.”
