Although I do appreciate his worth as a stealthily skilled and powerful geurilla tactitian, and a powerful symbolic human to the entire of Cuba..






..I have a sticker of him on my door...

(almost) x2. He was an idelogist, old school with Castro, firmly defender of communism and marxism. You (probably) don't want to live in a country that this guy had helped to create.

He wasn't an great tactician either. He found success in Cuba mostly because others like Castro did the tactical and organizational stuff for/with him. He failed in Angola and later got busted (and killed) in Bolivia.

I hope I hadn't bust your bubble on the concept of this guy. He was mythfied too much, thanks much for the yuppie movements of the 60s and that picture of him taken during a march.

I don't think people made him a legend for what he did, but what he stood for and symbolizes. History would not remember him for nothing.

Along with low everything else. A low standard of living, low infant survival rates, etc.

That's way you never hear about boat people going to Cuba.
