The Left’s Totalitarian Martyrs: Che Guevara

Who is Ernesto [Che] Guevara? Was he a Latin American freedom fighter who cared about the poor or oppressed, as leftists like the world to believe? Or was he a Communist terrorist, who sought to impose the Communist oppressive system all over Latin America? The answer is the latter.

Che Guevara became a hero to the left. The image of him as someone who fights oppression and poverty, who sought to make Latin America a better place, is the image of him to Hollywood and many naive people. Latin America is the one place where Communist propaganda won. It’s the place where leftists feel free to spew Commie propaganda. And further more, Communists don’t have to say that they [that is Communist totalitarian figures and terrorists in Latin America] weren’t real Communists, as many Communists had to do to people like Stalin when they were embarrassed about the fact that Stalin’s crimes were well-known. Instead, the radical left ended up supporting totalitarian Communists whether it’s Castro, the Sandinistas, Che Guevara, Chavez or any other totalitarian Communist figure.

The image of Che Guevara on the T-shirt has become well-known, as many naive people and useful idiots wear them, thinking they’re wearing a shirt of someone who fought oppression. Che Guevara became the martyr to the political left. To the political left, he was a Guerrilla freedom fighter who fought for the poor and oppressed people of Latin America who were “exploited” by Uncle Sam. That’s the story we hear and what limousine liberals in Hollywood say. We hear that Che wanted to live like the people yet he owned a big mansion under Castro. The real heroes in the true story are not Che or any of the left’s martyrs. They’re the victims of Communist tyranny. The real Che was opposed to freedom and democracy and supported Communist tyranny, which he sought to impose all over Latin America.

In Guatemala, Che supported a “democratic” government. Around the time of the 1954 coup, a Latin diplomat, said “No recognized government in Latin America has ever matched this inhuman cruelty.”

And Time Magazine reported that:

Latin Americans generally assumed that the U.S. was in Castillo Armas’ corner and after he invaded Guatemala, a dank breeze of Communist-abetted anti-Yankeeism swept through some of the hemisphere’s countries. Students squawked in demonstrations in Panama, Uruguay, Chile Peru, Cuba, Argentina and Honduras: a U.S. flag was burned in Chile. But there was none of that in Guatemala, where the U.S. role was understood and deeply appreciated. As the overthrown regime’s victims were dug out of their graves and the luckier survivors emerged from their cells Guatemalans raised grateful cheers for the U.S. and for Ambassador Peurifoy.

After the 1954 coup, Che Guevara joined Fidel Castro’s July 26th movement to overthrow the Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. Communist members of that movement executed any peasant who didn’t cooperate with them.
