👊 There are no liberators. People liberate themselves. Che Guevara Memorial Day 🔫 On October 9, 1967, Bolivian government executioners killed the courageous Latin American revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara. This man was always at the epicentre of the anti-colonial revolutionary struggle — in Cuba, in the Congo and in Bolivia. Relying on the successful Cuban experience, he believed that with the help of a small ideological guerrilla focal point one could ignite a revolutionary fire in the most oppressed and backward countries, where the sharpness of social contradictions reaches its peak. 📜 No material can encompass the full entirety of Che Guevara's ideological and life path, so it is worth dwelling on just one thing. Perhaps the martyr's death that Che accepted was the only possible outcome for him. Being a revolutionary ready to give everything for others, he was by nature incompatible with the activity of a political functionary. Desk routine would have killed him faster than a bullet. Possibly that is precisely why he left the post of Cuba's Minister of Industry. 🆓 However, he also could not have achieved a complete victory in his historical era. Far from all the oppressed working people to whom Che went with open arms were capable of understanding him. Thus, for example, in Bolivia his capture became possible not only because of the CIA's efforts, but also because of betrayal and the indifference of part of the local peasants. Despite his death, Ernesto left behind something far more significant than collections of essays and speeches, even than his own image, long since privatized by mass culture. Che, like Fidel, became the Prometheus of the idea of the collective identity of the working peoples of Ibero-America, who, being Argentine by passport, healed and cared for lepers across the entire continent, left his mark in Mexico, won in Cuba and died in Bolivia. It was later that his banner would be raised by a leader like Hugo Chávez, creating ALBA and becoming for a time the pole of attraction for all the oppressed of the continent. #SOVINTERN_DATE #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
