(T)he people (of Cuba) you see today tell you that even if they should disappear from the face if the earth because an atomic war is unleashed in their names... they will feel completely happy and fulfilled.
Che Guevara
The BBC is indulging in one of its periodic bouts of Socialist worship; this time extolling the "legacy" of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Not surprisingly, there are gallons of ink spilled in rapture of his "iconic" image, his "inspiration" and battles against "injustice."Unfortunately, they do overlook the tiny matter of his knowingly working in the cause of a totalitarian system, his love of mass executions, his introduction of the gulag to Cuba, his rank cowardice in battle, and his wild fanaticism that made him lust after the idea of universal Stalinist dictatorship ushered in on the backs of a hundred million radioactive corpses.
But that's just awkward nit-picking against the reputation of a dead Communist murderer who's cornered the tee-shirt market.
I live in the Balkans , and I have absolutely no connection with the traitors of the BBC.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what exactly to think about Che Guevara, but it seems that You have said more about Yourself in this post than about Che.
Something just had to be said.
Remove that 'just' from 'something just had to be said'. Sounds too much like BBC.
ReplyDeleteO, who am I kidding with now ? Why should Mr.Szondy ever speak to someone from the Balkans ? People are probably savage there, anyway.
