As a native Hispanic, who was taught about Che Guevara's history, I have always been shocked to see people here in the US idolize him! But then, we need to remember the extremely failed public education system here in the US, compounded by what the media shows the general population.
It’s not the US that idolizes him! It’s the left, the dems. Please do not confuse them with normal Americans. This people are so dumb they don’t know or even take the time to learn of his atrocities. They watch main stream media and believe every word!
Che wrote in a letter to his father how his firing squad would not adhere to his order to shoot an 11 year old boy, so he did it himself, shot him in the neck and almost decapitated the child. He wrote to his father that he was beginning to get a taste for it. Put that on a shirt.
I used to have a Rage Against the Machine cloth poster hanging throughout my teenage and late 20s. When i moved to Florida and became very close friends with some cubans, especially my cuban best friend like a brother who was also ex-cuban military special forces but anti-socialist and is a greater/deeper United States Constitution lover than most natural born Americans scolded me and was deeply distressed over my ignorance of the level of Pos Che was and how he murdered thousands of innocent people women and children. I took it down immediately and educated myself. My friend Eddr is a great human being and even better American Citizen who loves the United States 🇺🇸.
@Colin Heaton id love for you guys to do a forgotten history on my ancestor John of Gaunt, i feel you would love learning about him and create an amazing episode for your viewers on an obscure historical figure lesser known
It is an experience to meet true asylum seekers and refugees and to listen to what they say about where they were from, why they came to the US, and what they would do to defend the US
I grew up during this times and originally from Latin America and i have always been very aware of who Che really was, and just like lots of people, it amaze me how they idolized this guy who in reality was a murderer.
Honestly I think it had much to do with his looks and charm. His face on shirts still sell millions bc it appeals to the counter culture. I mean you see no other communist leader revered like that. I mean there’s no shirts or posters in the West of Lenin, Stalin, or any Soviet leader. Even Castro himself never had the appeal that Che does. His good looks and charm make him palatable to those who just see him as nothing but a revolutionary. The obsession with Che is all very surface level. It’s been proven people are more likely to trust an attractive face over an ugly one. It’s also why attractive people are more likely to get an easy sentence or slap on the wrist whereas ugly criminals are more likely to get a harsh sentence. Attractive bias is real. I mean the Bible always said Lucifer was God’s most beautiful angel.
“To execute a man we don’t need proof of his guilt. We only need proof that it is necessary to execute him. It is that simple.” Che. And yet he is an idol to youths around the world.
being a cuban I was going to say something bad about this monster since the video did not go into details about it but after reading some of you guys coments I am impressed how much you know and how much his immage has change lately. Information is a powerful tool.
Guevara was like most Communists. He spent the years of his life completely consumed by hatred of the United States. Even though his obsession and odd preoccupation never once prevented the US from prospering and thriving. And it's not likely that when he departed this life his final earthly thoughts were any different.
His image has not changed, what’s being said in this video is no revelation it’s standard propaganda that’s been pushed since the 70s. It’s amazing to me how Cuban expats can be so anti Cuban. People in Cuba have always overwhelmingly supported the revolution and Castro’s government. To think some people would rather take the word of a stowaway rat like you over the nations Citizens.
Growing up in Florida, I knew they sold t-shirts with Che on them but I never saw anyone wearing one. The large Cuban culture and presence weren't going to tolerate that nonsense.
puch: Well, in Cuba, I saw people selling coins with Che's face on them for more then they were worth, to tourists. Ironically. Che has become a commodity.
@@emilioesquivel6883he only things he won are the adulation of the fanatical and disinformed, and the well-deserved reputation of being a sadistic psychopath
Don't know if fighting a guerrilla war in the mountains of Cuba for 2 year, counts for work? Not condoning the man's atrocities but like at least have a balanced view of the guy lol
He could have lived a well paid comfortable life. But south America was a collection of corrupt ultra rightwing dictatorshpis backed by the USA. The only way to get change was by revolution & he dedicated his life to it. (For the avoidance of doubt my political views are pretty right wing in relation to the European situation but large parts of the world are totally different.)
@@exosapiens2509 how ironic that you would question my educational standard while simultaneously using the wrong adjective. The one you're looking for there is better not harder
The point isn’t to know who Che actually was for the young psychopath admirer; the point is that he represents the same psychopathy, which is a desire to produce nothing and take what others produce, and to inflict the same damage as ferally.
Unfortunately for the people of Cuba and other oppressed people they had one dictatorship replaced with another. Castro preached socialism and despised capitalism but after his death it was reported he had a personal fortune of over one billion dollars.
It is amazing how many Communist dictators end up having huge palaces, luxury cars, their own aircraft and an attentive staff of servants and above all £Billions in various international banks. All in the name of helping the workers mind!
@mgcarmkm4520 - Well, NOT EVERYONE believed of what you had stated about Cuba and Fidel Castro because they were being regarded as alternative facts by their detractors.
@@robertpolanco1973 Yeah well, do some research. Castro had his own luxury yacht at 88 feet. He had a personal beach and areas of the coast that were reserved exclusively for him, his family and his buddies for them to fish and scuba dive in. If that was not enough, he had a private island. Oh yes, he had his own personal farm to provide him with fresh fruit and vegetables, complete with orange groves. Meanwhile his people starved. He had up to 20 villas across Cuba and the Caribbean. He told his people he lived in a fisherman's hut - the stinking liar! To western journalists he admitted to five to seven villas, saying he slept in a different one each night so assassins could not guess his whereabouts. He also had numerous mistresses and indulged them in luxury. But hey! *LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!*
@@johnrandall125 Castro liked the good life, there's no doubt about that. In western society at least we know its grab what you can. The communist dogma preaches that 'we are a collective, we are all equally poor'. Yet the most rabid communist leaders that outwardly hate western society live a life of excess that would embarrass royalty. Look at North Korea for instance. Communism just doesn't work as it's not an open economy.
Based on the reaction to this video I'm glad to see che is finally falling out of favor with a lot of people. It used to bother me greatly when I would see young people who were either babies or born after the Wall came down wearing tee-shirts with his image on it. They had no idea what this guy was all about or how people suffered under communism.
@@DonDon45-i5h "My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood!” raved Guevara in his Motorcycle Diaries (though this aspiration is omitted from liars like Howard Zinn and the lefts depiction ) “Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any vencido that falls in my hands!

@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL I would say killing people especially non combatants is bad but mostly evil. But yeah its about selling their defunct magazine
They are promoting when a cover is chosen. Its always been a rigged game played upon the common folk. Control the information, control the minds/opinion/choices made by the reader-viewers.
I'm not claiming to be a fan of Che Guevara, but there is one thing worth mentioning here. Not only did Che believe in the communist ideology, but he actually, really, lived according to the principles he believed in. After becoming the revolutionary hero in Cuba, he could have lived a life of luxury - like his comrade Fidel - but instead he personally travelled to Africa and South-America to fight for a revolution. As misguided as his beliefs and principles may have been, at least he lived - and died - by them. Not something you saw often back then, not something you see often today. In fact today we see more and more people, who pretend to be something completely different from what they are and take advantage of the simplicity of the multitude. Che did not pretend.
The African excursion was not Che's idea- Fidel was in the process of consolidating his power in the new Cuban goverment and he (Fidel) was getting rid of anyone who might challenge him. Fidel also got rid of another popular leader Camilo Cienfuegos. Back to Che Fidel ordered Che abroad as an "ambassador " per se to get him out of Cuba while he was back home and installing all his allies throughout the government posts.
It's true, they don't. Putin's government isn't real communism. It's a black market government where bribes are the currency and you don't get ahead by what you know, but WHO you know. Very much like capitalism, but way more crooked. That's why alcoholism is rampant and loyalty to the state has to be forced on the people. It's a authoritative regime, like any fascist state. True communism hasn't existed anywhere in the world for decades.
For what it's worth, I worked with an older gentleman from Cuba who had sided with the Batista regime. He was an educated man who I believe may have been a college professor. The communists broke him physically, mentally, and emotionally. He and his wife eventually immigrated to Spain before eventually settling in the US. He never spoke to me about the treatment he received. His only comment was "I can forgive them for what they did to me, but not for what they did to my wife". So yeah, communists aren't any better then any other political group!
The Bautista regime was brutal. Castro showed up on the shores of Cuba with only 200 men on two boats. Bautista was so bad that the people didn't object to Castro and his army taking over.
@@emilioesquivel6883 Yes I do! Washington and Franklin didn't summarily execute people like Che did. To compare him to them shows how little you actually know about them. However, my Robespierre comparison is apt. If you even know who that is.
You basically skimmed over the fact that he completely destroyed the Cuban economy. Many historians say that is mostly likely the #1 reason Castro distanced himself and sent him away. He may have been good at Chess, but knew squat about economics.
Ignorance of economics is an outstanding trait of Keynesians, Socialists and such. They know what works, they just refuse to give power and freedom to the people. They enjoy the spotlight of "savior"
Communism never delivers on its promises except they do redistribute the wealth….to themselves!! Their utopian visions always fail, but only every time😅🙏💗🇺🇸
What I found interesting is that this video glossed over the fact that the United Fruit Company refused to pay taxes on the land that Arbenz gave back to his people. They claimed the land was unusable for crops so that was part of the reason why the Guatemalan government nationalized it and distributed back to their people. Imagine if some foreign country like China had a stronghold on American land, claimed it was useless but still made money off of it, what would we do?
Also one of the biggest shareholders was a US senator and his brother, who also was a big shareholder of the the United fruit company, was the head of the CIA. The CIA conveniently convinced the president that Guatemala was becoming a communist state and was green lit to start the coup that led to a 20 year civil war. Che Guevara was a no good dirty commie but his turning point was legitimate
@@custardgannet4836 Probably the same reason when they're talking about the Holocaust, they don't go into an elaborate discourse about the Versailles treaty. One has nothing to do with the other, outside of a lame attempt to justify socialist atrocities.

@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL A very controversial but true historical event was the attempt to create a Fascist coup by the Bush, Herriman, Ford and Dulles families in 1934. General Smedley Butler exposed it, but FDR let them get away with this treason! Could you please do a show about it?
I think those who are doing the sweeping somehow feel the wrong system of governance and economics survived. These same people, who are doing the sweeping, changed the nature of higher education from teaching young people how to think, to a mission of teaching their charges what to think.
Another US Marine remembered the role of "American companies in Latin America" quite differently. Went by the name of Smedley Butler. Just another perspective to consider here.
Gen. Butler was a hushed prophet. Amazing American who tried his best to warn about the way things work. He still would have taken care of Che in the ways of the Corps. Problem solved. Different times in history.
Of course they sidestepped it, or did you really believe this was an unbiased and truthful portrayal of Che and the United Fruit Company! LOL @@JamesLee-mp8hk
I would like to see the so called revolutionary heroes disinterred and their ashes scattered on the sea. Bad enough Cuba is host to such depraved monsters. The monastery that’s Cuba exceeds for inhumanity Robert Owens’ notorious phalansteries.
doctors swear to the Hippocratic Oath " I will abstain from all intentional wrong doing and harm ". Che was a monster who when caught even offered up his band of murdering revolutionaries to the Venezuelan army if the army would allow him to escape. Cuba has yet to recover from a Columbia University educated liberal lawyer dictator and a University of Buenos Aires educated murderous doctor. Hopefully that will change in the not so distant future.
Columbia University educated liberal lawyer! I had no idea. Doesn't surprise me. One of my professors at University attended UCLA with Omar Gaddafi. After WWII, I believe it was Yale who set up a satellite branch in China. Mao became the editor of the University paper and was groomed for leadership buy American influence. Henry Kissinger, Klaus Schwab's high-ranking Nazi father and Harvard University created the World Economic Forum, called by another name at that time. Klaus Schwab Junior was assigned directorship, 1971.
Che and Castro weren't murderers monsters or psychopaths and Che was captured by US backed fascists in Bolivia the only time he ever stepped foot in Venezuela was when he travelled around latin america in 1952 15 years before his execution
Part of Che's hatred of America was formed at the end of his famous motorcycle trip, when he went to work for the Venezuelan national polo team, which agreed to pay his way back to Argentina if he worked for them as a groom during their trip to Miami. While there, he was impressed by the extravagant lifestyle of the polo crowd, while he barely had enough money to feed himself. Basically, it boiled down to simple jealousy.
Is it really jealousy or is it simple human nature? Many of the current mega wealthy are so tight with their money that they will never spend more than a fraction of it. What is the benefit of having that much money and not doing something vaguely good with it? If a multi billionaire paid his workers twice what he does now he would hardly notice it in real terms but his workers would have much more money to spend and that would effectively help make the rich even richer.
@@fgoindarkg Justice? Was Che acting with "justice" when he forced his grandmother's servant girl to have sex with him? Yeah, he'd get up from the table, shove her into the kitchen, bang her, and go back to the table. Of course, if Grammy wasn't there, he'd bang her right at the table, even when he brought friends over. "Oh, but he hadn't achieved Revolutionary Consciousness yet!" you would argue. Fine. Was he acting with justice when he stepped in and blew Eutimio Guerra's head off? You see, after Fidel, Che, & their buddies crashed the Granma (Fidel's boat) and began their "invasion", they hired a poor local farm kid to be their guide. Batista's army got ahold of young Eutimio and coerced him into giving up the rebels' position. When Fidel found out, he ordered Eutimio's execution. The other rebels thought that was too harsh a sentence, and the two men who were assigned to do the job balked. That was when Che, who had mostly been just a hanger-on up to that point, stepped in and shot the kid. That impressed Fidel, which was why he made Che a commander. "Oh, but it was a war! It was for the greater good!" you will no doubt whine. How about this: When Che was commander of La Cabana prison, he ordered the executions of thousands of so-called Batista supporters. The problem was that Batista's supporters had almost all fled the country. Che killed innocent people just to intimidate the public so that they wouldn't resist the new Castro regime. Was Che acting with justice when he forced people to "volunteer" for unpaid work cutting sugar cane, load ships, etc.? Was he acting with justice when he ducked out on 2 wives, at least 6 children, and who knows how many mistresses, just so that he could run around playing revolutionary? You have been brainwashed by the Castro regime's propaganda. And that makes you extremely uncool. Hey, if you're looking for some fun summer reading, check out Che's African diaries. After the Castro brothers got tired of him, they set him up as roving revolutionary in the Congo. His diary tells how poor, utterly clueless Che stumbled around Africa, getting his ass kicked the whole time. It's absolutely hilarious!
Great Work!!! I was born in (1952) our existence in America has always been threatened from the outside but now it is being threatened from inside out!!??
Che was one of those people whose romantic image overwhelmed the facts about his murderous psychopathology. I understand that picture of him starring off into eternity which formed a lot of this image was taken by accident when he stepped in front of a French cameraman who was trying to photograph Castro. The image became popular during the French protests of 1968 about college dorm visiting policies.
Musician Carlos Santana (among others) has long worn shirts bearing the likeness of Guevara; Santana, who is often described as an American musician is actually a Mexican musician, though his success has mostly depended upon U.S. sales of his records. Guevara was a monster, period.
Thanks for this nice, tight summary. I'd he was say psychopath. What always makes me laugh is how that one picture of his face has adorned so many T-shirts, yet most kids who wear them have no idea whom he is. Be well.
Nice video. I take issue, though, with your assertion that United Fruit Company was some benevalent entity who gave jobs to locals. There is a lot more to this. Part of it had to due to rampant corruption and manipulation by UFC. Part of it had to do with American interference in order to keep things at the status-quo so the money could still be made. This included an engineered overthrow of the government "justified" by saying the existing government was a "communist" threat. I don't call a country offering money to UFC to buy back their land (at the value UFC claimed it was worth) "communism". Then there was the subsequent military dictatorship which tortured, jailed, and/or killed a few hundred thousand people. And to show how woven corruption is with stuff like this, note that George HW Bush's old company (he cofounded Zapata Oil, a CIA connected company) bought UFC (also CIA connected) in the late 1960s. Bush went on to be CIA director and, eventually, US president. And, I believe, in 1981 (when Bush was VP), the SEC filings for Zapata from 1960-1966 were somehow "lost". You cannot make this stuff up.
It's because the band Rage Against The Machine used the image to represent universal struggle against oppression and that was appealing to college aged kids
I was in the u.s. army during the early 80s and we were constantly under alerts over USSR and south American threats and was also surprised by the tee shirts being wore by american students and knew the communist were in the colleges

I think it's easy to say bad things about Che Guevarra. But it's also easy to say good things about Che Guevarra. Sometimes it's hard to tell, but there is a lot of propaganda and we need to make an effort to beleive as closely as possible what really was and not just follow the line of thinking we want to think. I think what ofter understated is just how bad and brutal that Bautista was. Bautista was so bad that he wasn't supported by the people, otherwise Castro with his meager army of only 200 soldiers couldn't have taken over an entire country.
I remember walking past a gay pride event in Eastleigh, England seeing Chè's face plastered all over pride flags thinking they are so oblivious to who that man actually was

@@craigpimlott204source? Who told you this because you didnt read it from an any credible historian? Let me guess some slave farmer that fled cuba told you?
Among his theories regarding revolution was the reasons didn't have to exist, the revolutionaries could create them. I think it was based on this reasoning that as soon as the revolutionaries started the government in question would start oppressing the people and the people would turn to the revolutionaries. It didn't work out that way. Case in point the locals in Bolivia helped direct the government soldiers against Guevara. Also the Tupamaros of Uruguay tried a similar revolution with the theory that they could start a revolution and people would follow them also backfired. What happened was the military took over what was supposed to be moderate democracy and turned it into a military dictatorship. While his manual on guerrilla warfare is interesting, the theories put forth clearly don't work. I also get a kick out of the fact he lost to mercenary commander Mad Mike Hoare while leading troops in the Congo.
remember the true mantra of all revolutions; once the revolution is won, the revolutionaries themselves are no longer needed. That's because the fighters are promised utopia, and then realize they get hell instead. That is why every revolution purges its own who helped the cause, and then began re-educating the next generation into the doctrine.
I've read several sources that some Black Green Berets helped to frustrate him in the Congo, intending to embarrass and make him a laughing stock instead of killing him.
You forget marinus van der lubbe arsonist who burn down reichstag. In his warp mind he believe by burning down reichstag.the german people will rise up and overthrown the authority and establish a marxist state.instead the real beneficial was hitler.
The land confiscated by Arbenz did belong to United Fruit but it was not exploited, his own family was one of those whose land was partly seized and those reforms improved the quality of life so much that Guatemala was named country #1 for something... Oxfam I think. United Fruit's lawyers happened to be the Dulles brothers so the CIA declared Arbenz was a communist, a coup was organized and hundreds of thousands of peasants ended up brutally murdered.
Standard practice for U.S. hegemon in Latin America to have democratically elected leaders coupd so that a leader of the CIA's choosing can be put in place that will dance along.
You need to do better research my friend.” United fruit provided jobs” yes! But they paid workers with vouchers to be redeemed at United fruit shops. You cant take your child to the doctor and pay for medicine with United fruit vouchers. That’s why workers constantly revolted.

This is a great video. But the problem is verification. This is one account. There are other opposing accounts. Whether we like him or dislike him, we need to find the truth first. Perhaps the truth about Che Guevarra is more complex. I'm always skeptical of any account, because it's hard to know whom to believe. I think we need to be skeptical and believe only conditionally until better or more accurate information comes forth, if that is even possible. There may be much truths in many accounts as well as falsehoods. Again, it's important to remember that it's hard to verify any one account.
We reviewd the many accounts to summarize him. He was a very complex person, but the good deeds he did, as well as the bard are irrefutable. Castro got rid of him as a result. Thanks for watching.
I agree it’s very interesting that we especially in America want to take people from history and classify them as either being good or bad I’ll tell you one thing he was pretty brave he lived a pretty outlawed life
Or you can know him by this statement of truth, "if it walks like a duck an quacks like a duck it must be a duck". Or if it kills and rapes like a murderer and is a bigot and homophob, it must be che
I met the man who ‘terminated’ Che and had a Polaroid of his hands to prove it. He was a Cuban expatriate who was employed by the CIA and was quite a fascinating person.
I've always heard that he was not the hero that is portrayed. I didn't know the actual history. It's great to have some argumentative ammo against the ones who idolize him.
Very interesting video. I have learned new things which i didn't know about before, such as Guevara's intention to use atomic weapons against the United States.
I cry at the United States fostering murderous far-right or neo-Nazi regimes who killed dozens of thousands of South Americans, not that you will care.
Fascinating video. In the book, The Double Life of Fidel Castro, written by Sanchez, the personal bodyguard of Fidel (Sanchez has a rather benign view of Fidel in my view) quotes Che something like "I love killing people." The incidents and quotes related in various comments here prove this true. I would love to see a video on this channel about the Cuban fighter pilot who flew his Mig fighter jet to Florida, then went back and picked up his family in a Cessna on a remote road, right under Fidel's nose. it is an awesome story related in the book.
@@colinheaton4902 there are an awful lot of young useful idiots in the comments who still think he was a hero. I think I can trump anyone with 'crazy great uncle' stories. chilling to think we're related.
The US abandoned Cuba after Castro. That's why Cuba went to the USSR. The US had replaced governments, or supported oppressive governments in nearly every South and Middle American country to enable US corporations to provide, thus destroying social safety nets. That's why there are so many immigrants from Central and South America coming to the US.

Newsflash to commenters: kids don't wear Che shirts anymore - that fad was 20 years ago (mid 90's - early 2000's) and was started by Rage Against The Machine, a hugely popular band that used the Che image to represent a universal struggle against oppression (always appealing to youth). Most of those kids who had Che posters/shirts are middle aged dads now who grew past that stuff a long time ago.
Yeah, haven't seen one in ages. It seems to have gone out of style. Guerrilla warfare and industrial development in the third world must be pretty far from the minds of the Extinction Rebellion crowd nowadays... I used to have several Che shirts. I can't plead ignorance here, I actually studied communism and liked it. But that's a long time ago. Now I wouldn't say I'm embarrassed because of that, but for sure I would look back at it as something from a completely different time and life phase. Most people who were revolutionaries back then probably have mortgages and beer bellies now. In the 90s and early 2000s, people were also all about the Zapatistas, they seem to have just disappeared off the map as well. Ski masks are out, the masks from Casa de Papel are in... Whether for ideological reasons or just as a symbol of rebellion, both the Che and EZLN fads seem a bit silly in retrospect.
@@No14210 I wouldn't be ashamed of liking the idea of communism when you were younger, I did as well. Sharing everything equally is preached in kindergarten after all - it is a romantic and appealing idea in theory - the problem is when real adult governments adopt it they pervert the concept and horde the wealth and power and everyone suffers. There's just no way to make it work and it becomes an excuse for totalitarian dictatorships to hold down the very people it is supposed to uplift. Too bad but the truth is that it's a dog eat dog world
He was definitely one of the most influential people, just not in a good way. Poor central and South America are still to this day suffering because of communism.
A Latin American revolutionary… a White American’s perspective. No bias here right. I’m yet to see a truly balanced take. His complex history is either utterly sanitized by his supporters or thoroughly demonized by his detractors.
We rely upon the statements left behind by the relatives of those he killed. With your logic, Hitler was a freedom fighter for Germanic peoples across Europe, hence total justification for his actions. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this exposition on the real Che . Years back I was educated on the real Che by a good friend who was much older than me. He has been quoted repeatedly on his hatred of Mexicans and African Americans. My friends family fled Cuba when Castro and Che were taking land from everyone including the indigenous and low income. They’re indigenous and lived in the mountains, and supposedly the communists attacked only the wealthy. I also have a good friend in Bolivia who wrote a small book titled “Che, assassin of the Aymara People” Where he exposes Che using indigenous people for his civil war exploits and even murdering many of them. I’ll admit I was taken by the propaganda film the motorcycle diaries back in 2003. It’s insane how trendy the shirts and bags with his face were for some time.

I nearly choked when you praised United Fruit Company for its generosity in providing employment (ie slavery) to people who would otherwise have been unemployed. Having an American claim to provide the "TRUTH about Che Guevara" is like asking a member of the German Nazi party to provide the "TRUTH" about Adolf Hitler". Since you insist on slandering Che Guevara as a mass murderer, may I point out that even if a mere fraction of this were true, it would be insignificant compared to the mass killings carried out by your presidents, former and present ones. Yes, for you, the killings carried out by your presidents can be justified as bringing democracy to the countries concerned, conveniently neglecting to mention the political and, above all, the economic and financial benefits of their killings. By the way, Guevara, a prisoner who had surrendered, was executed on the orders of the US Government who never miss an opportunity to express, albeit wth moral justification, the execution of US citizens in captivity or who, in military uniforms, surrendered. Mr IDIOT, do humanity a favour and kindly keep your lies and/or ignorance to yourself.
I had an extensive conversation a few years ago with an elderly gentleman who fought with Castro's forces as a teenager. He became disillusioned with the communists, escaped to Florida, and had a great 40-year career with Disney. Our discussion did not touch on Guevara, but the man told me that his dad had a highly successful mango orchard of 600 trees. The communists bulldozed the whole thing, completely destroying it.
I don’t hate or love Che, but I find it funny that he gets called a murderer by people who idolize other military generals who murdered many many more people, it’s all about perspective.
Besides his kneeling, one of the most disrespectful acts by Colin Kaepernic occurred in Miami, at a press conference after a football game where he showed up wearing a Fidel Castro shirt. Miami has the largest Cuban American population. There were undoubtably people who saw the photo of Kaepernic who had friends or family members directly or indirectly murdered by Castro and Guevera.
There are no boats in the Cuban harbors. Why ? Because they are escape crafts. Cuba is a prison. We have wealthy family friends who are Cuban and tell us how their relatives in Cuba plead regularly for help to somehow get them out of Cuba. Would love to swap them for any stupid Che lover that lives here.
Amazes me how Rage Against The Machine can get away with the aggressive promotion of this monster, on stage..... Yet imagine the outcry if it was Adolf??
That was a switch for a doctor and humanitarian to decide in one moment on his way to Havana that the only way to succeed was to be completely ruthless.
Che's only motive for his struggle was his love for the poor; Castro's motive for his struggle was holding to power even compromising on his personal principles.
Colin was friends with Charles B. Older, the judge in the Manson trial. FYI Before becoming a lawyer and a judge, Older was a fighter pilots and ace with the Flying Tigers in China and Burma in WW II. Thanks for watching
As a native Hispanic, who was taught about Che Guevara's history, I have always been shocked to see people here in the US idolize him! But then, we need to remember the extremely failed public education system here in the US, compounded by what the media shows the general population.
Agreed. Thanks for watching.
And there thick as shit
Though I had seen his image memorialized on some t-shirts, I had no idea who he was until I watched this video.
It’s not the US that idolizes him! It’s the left, the dems. Please do not confuse them with normal Americans. This people are so dumb they don’t know or even take the time to learn of his atrocities. They watch main stream media and believe every word!
Che wrote in a letter to his father how his firing squad would not adhere to his order to shoot an 11 year old boy, so he did it himself, shot him in the neck and almost decapitated the child. He wrote to his father that he was beginning to get a taste for it. Put that on a shirt.
I used to have a Rage Against the Machine cloth poster hanging throughout my teenage and late 20s. When i moved to Florida and became very close friends with some cubans, especially my cuban best friend like a brother who was also ex-cuban military special forces but anti-socialist and is a greater/deeper United States Constitution lover than most natural born Americans scolded me and was deeply distressed over my ignorance of the level of Pos Che was and how he murdered thousands of innocent people women and children. I took it down immediately and educated myself. My friend Eddr is a great human being and even better American Citizen who loves the United States 🇺🇸.
Yeah, I bet many who wear his t-shirt today have no clue about who he really was.
Great post thanks for watching

Honestly I think it had much to do with his looks and charm. His face on shirts still sell millions bc it appeals to the counter culture. I mean you see no other communist leader revered like that. I mean there’s no shirts or posters in the West of Lenin, Stalin, or any Soviet leader. Even Castro himself never had the appeal that Che does. His good looks and charm make him palatable to those who just see him as nothing but a revolutionary. The obsession with Che is all very surface level. It’s been proven people are more likely to trust an attractive face over an ugly one. It’s also why attractive people are more likely to get an easy sentence or slap on the wrist whereas ugly criminals are more likely to get a harsh sentence. Attractive bias is real. I mean the Bible always said Lucifer was God’s most beautiful angel.

He’s no more monstrous than the leaders of ANY nation with the exception of a rare rare few
Guevara was like most Communists. He spent the years of his life completely consumed by hatred of the United States. Even though his obsession and odd preoccupation never once prevented the US from prospering and thriving. And it's not likely that when he departed this life his final earthly thoughts were any different.
His image has not changed, what’s being said in this video is no revelation it’s standard propaganda that’s been pushed since the 70s. It’s amazing to me how Cuban expats can be so anti Cuban.

The point isn’t to know who Che actually was for the young psychopath admirer; the point is that he represents the same psychopathy, which is a desire to produce nothing and take what others produce, and to inflict the same damage as ferally.

@@robertpolanco1973 Yeah well, do some research. Castro had his own luxury yacht at 88 feet. He had a personal beach and areas of the coast that were reserved exclusively for him, his family and his buddies for them to fish and scuba dive in. If that was not enough, he had a private island. Oh yes, he had his own personal farm to provide him with fresh fruit and vegetables, complete with orange groves. Meanwhile his people starved.
He had up to 20 villas across Cuba and the Caribbean. He told his people he lived in a fisherman's hut - the stinking liar! To western journalists he admitted to five to seven villas, saying he slept in a different one each night so assassins could not guess his whereabouts.
He also had numerous mistresses and indulged them in luxury.
But hey! *LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!*
@@johnrandall125 Castro liked the good life, there's no doubt about that. In western society at least we know its grab what you can. The communist dogma preaches that 'we are a collective, we are all equally poor'.

Communism just doesn't work as it's not an open economy.
Based on the reaction to this video I'm glad to see che is finally falling out of favor with a lot of people.

They are promoting when a cover is chosen. Its always been a rigged game played upon the common folk. Control the information, control the minds/opinion/choices made by the reader-viewers.
I'm not claiming to be a fan of Che Guevara, but there is one thing worth mentioning here. Not only did Che believe in the communist ideology, but he actually, really, lived according to the principles he believed in. After becoming the revolutionary hero in Cuba, he could have lived a life of luxury - like his comrade Fidel - but instead he personally travelled to Africa and South-America to fight for a revolution. As misguided as his beliefs and principles may have been, at least he lived - and died - by them. Not something you saw often back then, not something you see often today. In fact today we see more and more people, who pretend to be something completely different from what they are and take advantage of the simplicity of the multitude. Che did not pretend.
You make a valid point. Thanks for watching.
The African excursion was not Che's idea- Fidel was in the process of consolidating his power in the new Cuban goverment and he (Fidel) was getting rid of anyone who might challenge him. Fidel also got rid of another popular leader Camilo Cienfuegos. Back to Che Fidel ordered Che abroad as an "ambassador " per se to get him out of Cuba while he was back home and installing all his allies throughout the government posts.
What? He was a blood thirsty terrorist in the literal sense he didn't care about anything other than executing and hunting human beings.

Imagine telling the USSR they don’t know what real communism is…
It's true, they don't. Putin's government isn't real communism. It's a black market government where bribes are the currency and you don't get ahead by what you know, but WHO you know. Very much like capitalism, but way more crooked. That's why alcoholism is rampant and loyalty to the state has to be forced on the people. It's a authoritative regime, like any fascist state. True communism hasn't existed anywhere in the world for decades.
AND he was right, as history has proven!
For what it's worth, I worked with an older gentleman from Cuba who had sided with the Batista regime. He was an educated man who I believe may have been a college professor. The communists broke him physically, mentally, and emotionally. He and his wife eventually immigrated to Spain before eventually settling in the US. He never spoke to me about the treatment he received. His only comment was "I can forgive them for what they did to me, but not for what they did to my wife". So yeah, communists aren't any better then any other political group!
their considerably worse than any other political group historically and they are socialists its all the same ideology.

What I found interesting is that this video glossed over the fact that the United Fruit Company refused to pay taxes on the land that Arbenz gave back to his people. They claimed the land was unusable for crops so that was part of the reason why the Guatemalan government nationalized it and distributed back to their people. Imagine if some foreign country like China had a stronghold on American land, claimed it was useless but still made money off of it, what would we do?
We would nationalize the property and take it from China, at least under a competent administration. Thanks for watching.
Yeah funny that...wonder why so much of his history was glossed over 🤔
Also one of the biggest shareholders was a US senator and his brother, who also was a big shareholder of the the United fruit company, was the head of the CIA. The CIA conveniently convinced the president that Guatemala was becoming a communist state and was green lit to start the coup that led to a 20 year civil war.

All socialists are the same - national, international or otherwise. Racist exploitative hypocritical mafioso.
So Hitler was not a sadist after all, right?
doctors swear to the Hippocratic Oath " I will abstain from all intentional wrong doing and harm ". Che was a monster who when caught even offered up his band of murdering revolutionaries to the Venezuelan army if the army would allow him to escape. Cuba has yet to recover from a Columbia University educated liberal lawyer dictator and a University of Buenos Aires educated murderous doctor. Hopefully that will change in the not so distant future.
Columbia University educated liberal lawyer! I had no idea. Doesn't surprise me. One of my professors at University attended UCLA with Omar Gaddafi. After WWII, I believe it was Yale who set up a satellite branch in China. Mao became the editor of the University paper and was groomed for leadership buy American influence. Henry Kissinger, Klaus Schwab's high-ranking Nazi father and Harvard University created the World Economic Forum, called by another name at that time. Klaus Schwab Junior was assigned directorship, 1971.
Che and Castro weren't murderers monsters or psychopaths and Che was captured by US backed fascists in Bolivia the only time he ever stepped foot in Venezuela was when he travelled around latin america in 1952 15 years before his execution
Spoken like a true Irish Communist@@seamusohurdail7349
Pay homage to the Nazi murderers who ruled my native Argentina from 1976 to the Falklands War, you never remember that, right?
Part of Che's hatred of America was formed at the end of his famous motorcycle trip, when he went to work for the Venezuelan national polo team, which agreed to pay his way back to Argentina if he worked for them as a groom during their trip to Miami. While there, he was impressed by the extravagant lifestyle of the polo crowd, while he barely had enough money to feed himself. Basically, it boiled down to simple jealousy.
Like all socialists, they are jealous of success.
Is it really jealousy or is it simple human nature? Many of the current mega wealthy are so tight with their money that they will never spend more than a fraction of it. What is the benefit of having that much money and not doing something vaguely good with it? If a multi billionaire paid his workers twice what he does now he would hardly notice it in real terms but his workers would have much more money to spend and that would effectively help make the rich even richer.
The hunger for justice is not jealousy. It may appear so to those who covet everything they see.
@@fgoindarkg Very eloquently said!
@@fgoindarkg Justice? Was Che acting with "justice" when he forced his grandmother's servant girl to have sex with him? Yeah, he'd get up from the table, shove her into the kitchen, bang her, and go back to the table. Of course, if Grammy wasn't there, he'd bang her right at the table, even when he brought friends over.
"Oh, but he hadn't achieved Revolutionary Consciousness yet!" you would argue.
Fine. Was he acting with justice when he stepped in and blew Eutimio Guerra's head off? You see, after Fidel, Che, & their buddies crashed the Granma (Fidel's boat) and began their "invasion", they hired a poor local farm kid to be their guide. Batista's army got ahold of young Eutimio and coerced him into giving up the rebels' position. When Fidel found out, he ordered Eutimio's execution. The other rebels thought that was too harsh a sentence, and the two men who were assigned to do the job balked. That was when Che, who had mostly been just a hanger-on up to that point, stepped in and shot the kid. That impressed Fidel, which was why he made Che a commander.
"Oh, but it was a war! It was for the greater good!" you will no doubt whine. How about this: When Che was commander of La Cabana prison, he ordered the executions of thousands of so-called Batista supporters. The problem was that Batista's supporters had almost all fled the country. Che killed innocent people just to intimidate the public so that they wouldn't resist the new Castro regime.
Was Che acting with justice when he forced people to "volunteer" for unpaid work cutting sugar cane, load ships, etc.? Was he acting with justice when he ducked out on 2 wives, at least 6 children, and who knows how many mistresses, just so that he could run around playing revolutionary?
You have been brainwashed by the Castro regime's propaganda. And that makes you extremely uncool.
Hey, if you're looking for some fun summer reading, check out Che's African diaries. After the Castro brothers got tired of him, they set him up as roving revolutionary in the Congo. His diary tells how poor, utterly clueless Che stumbled around Africa, getting his ass kicked the whole time. It's absolutely hilarious!
Great Work!!! I was born in (1952) our existence in America has always been threatened from the outside but now it is being threatened from inside out!!??

Che was one of those people whose romantic image overwhelmed the facts about his murderous psychopathology. I understand that picture of him starring off into eternity which formed a lot of this image was taken by accident when he stepped in front of a French cameraman who was trying to photograph Castro. The image became popular during the French protests of 1968 about college dorm visiting policies.

Nice video. I take issue, though, with your assertion that United Fruit Company was some benevalent entity who gave jobs to locals. There is a lot more to this. Part of it had to due to rampant corruption and manipulation by UFC. Part of it had to do with American interference in order to keep things at the status-quo so the money could still be made. This included an engineered overthrow of the government "justified" by saying the existing government was a "communist" threat. I don't call a country offering money to UFC to buy back their land (at the value UFC claimed it was worth) "communism". Then there was the subsequent military dictatorship which tortured, jailed, and/or killed a few hundred thousand people. And to show how woven corruption is with stuff like this, note that George HW Bush's old company (he cofounded Zapata Oil, a CIA connected company) bought UFC (also CIA connected) in the late 1960s. Bush went on to be CIA director and, eventually, US president. And, I believe, in 1981 (when Bush was VP), the SEC filings for Zapata from 1960-1966 were somehow "lost". You cannot make this stuff up.

I think it's easy to say bad things about Che Guevarra. But it's also easy to say good things about Che Guevarra. Sometimes it's hard to tell, but there is a lot of propaganda and we need to make an effort to beleive as closely as possible what really was and not just follow the line of thinking we want to think. I think what ofter understated is just how bad and brutal that Bautista was. Bautista was so bad that he wasn't supported by the people, otherwise Castro with his meager army of only 200 soldiers couldn't have taken over an entire country.
Even back then Time magazine showed it's communist tendencies by glorifying him. Incidentally Bolivia is now pretty much a socialist country.
Bolivia socialist? Check Wikipedia.
His picture is all over Italy too...they think he's some kind of hero standing up to the man, when he really was a loose canon psycho...
I remember walking past a gay pride event in Eastleigh, England seeing Chè's face plastered all over pride flags thinking they are so oblivious to who that man actually was

Among his theories regarding revolution was the reasons didn't have to exist, the revolutionaries could create them. I think it was based on this reasoning that as soon as the revolutionaries started the government in question would start oppressing the people and the people would turn to the revolutionaries. It didn't work out that way. Case in point the locals in Bolivia helped direct the government soldiers against Guevara. Also the Tupamaros of Uruguay tried a similar revolution with the theory that they could start a revolution and people would follow them also backfired. What happened was the military took over what was supposed to be moderate democracy and turned it into a military dictatorship. While his manual on guerrilla warfare is interesting, the theories put forth clearly don't work. I also get a kick out of the fact he lost to mercenary commander Mad Mike Hoare while leading troops in the Congo.
Good info, thanks for watching.
remember the true mantra of all revolutions; once the revolution is won, the revolutionaries themselves are no longer needed. That's because the fighters are promised utopia, and then realize they get hell instead. That is why every revolution purges its own who helped the cause, and then began re-educating the next generation into the doctrine.
I've read several sources that some Black Green Berets helped to frustrate him in the Congo, intending to embarrass and make him a laughing stock instead of killing him.
@@terrykeever9422 Very possible, the CIA was down there and the pilots who flew from the Congo were ex-Cubans paid by the CIA.

The land confiscated by Arbenz did belong to United Fruit but it was not exploited, his own family was one of those whose land was partly seized and those reforms improved the quality of life so much that Guatemala was named country #1 for something... Oxfam I think. United Fruit's lawyers happened to be the Dulles brothers so the CIA declared Arbenz was a communist, a coup was organized and hundreds of thousands of peasants ended up brutally murdered.

correct.
Standard practice for U.S. hegemon in Latin America to have democratically elected leaders coupd so that a leader of the CIA's choosing can be put in place that will dance along.
Agreed. Che was bad but justifying the United Fruit company’s actions as okay because they gave jobs was bs.
You need to do better research my friend.” United fruit provided jobs” yes! But they paid workers with vouchers to be redeemed at United fruit shops. You cant take your child to the doctor and pay for medicine with United fruit vouchers. That’s why workers constantly revolted.

Communism it’s monic ideology that has murdered millions of innocent human lives and when you in any attempt to romanticize him I see you have been polluted by Marxism and I loose respect for your views! Communism has been the greatest evil the world has ever seen!!!
Thank you for this iteration !
This is a great video. But the problem is verification. This is one account. There are other opposing accounts. Whether we like him or dislike him, we need to find the truth first. Perhaps the truth about Che Guevarra is more complex. I'm always skeptical of any account, because it's hard to know whom to believe. I think we need to be skeptical and believe only conditionally until better or more accurate information comes forth, if that is even possible. There may be much truths in many accounts as well as falsehoods. Again, it's important to remember that it's hard to verify any one account.
We reviewd the many accounts to summarize him. He was a very complex person, but the good deeds he did, as well as the bard are irrefutable. Castro got rid of him as a result. Thanks for watching.
I agree it’s very interesting that we especially in America want to take people from history and classify them as either being good or bad I’ll tell you one thing he was pretty brave he lived a pretty outlawed life

I met the man who ‘terminated’ Che and had a Polaroid of his hands to prove it. He was a Cuban expatriate who was employed by the CIA and was quite a fascinating person.
Say, I'm a proud fascist, nobody here will mind. What about arresting Guevara and taking him to trial? An eye for an eye, right?
I've always heard that he was not the hero that is portrayed. I didn't know the actual history. It's great to have some argumentative ammo against the ones who idolize him.
He murdered and raped people? That should be enough. Thanks for watching.

Fascinating video. In the book, The Double Life of Fidel Castro, written by Sanchez, the personal bodyguard of Fidel (Sanchez has a rather benign view of Fidel in my view) quotes Che something like "I love killing people." The incidents and quotes related in various comments here prove this true. I would love to see a video on this channel about the Cuban fighter pilot who flew his Mig fighter jet to Florida, then went back and picked up his family in a Cessna on a remote road, right under Fidel's nose. it is an awesome story related in the book.

The US abandoned Cuba after Castro. That's why Cuba went to the USSR. The US had replaced governments, or supported oppressive governments in nearly every South and Middle American country to enable US corporations to provide, thus destroying social safety nets. That's why there are so many immigrants from Central and South America coming to the US.

Newsflash to commenters: kids don't wear Che shirts anymore - that fad was 20 years ago (mid 90's - early 2000's) and was started by Rage Against The Machine, a hugely popular band that used the Che image to represent a universal struggle against oppression (always appealing to youth). Most of those kids who had Che posters/shirts are middle aged dads now who grew past that stuff a long time ago.
Thanks for watching.
Yeah, haven't seen one in ages. It seems to have gone out of style. Guerrilla warfare and industrial development in the third world must be pretty far from the minds of the Extinction Rebellion crowd nowadays... I used to have several Che shirts. I can't plead ignorance here, I actually studied communism and liked it. But that's a long time ago. Now I wouldn't say I'm embarrassed because of that, but for sure I would look back at it as something from a completely different time and life phase. Most people who were revolutionaries back then probably have mortgages and beer bellies now.
In the 90s and early 2000s, people were also all about the Zapatistas, they seem to have just disappeared off the map as well. Ski masks are out, the masks from Casa de Papel are in... Whether for ideological reasons or just as a symbol of rebellion, both the Che and EZLN fads seem a bit silly in retrospect.
@@No14210 I wouldn't be ashamed of liking the idea of communism when you were younger, I did as well. Sharing everything equally is preached in kindergarten after all - it is a romantic and appealing idea in theory - the problem is when real adult governments adopt it they pervert the concept and horde the wealth and power and everyone suffers. There's just no way to make it work and it becomes an excuse for totalitarian dictatorships to hold down the very people it is supposed to uplift. Too bad but the truth is that it's a dog eat dog world

You say nothing about how neo-Nazism wrecked my native Argentina, you only demonize the communists, and that tells a lot of who you are.
A Latin American revolutionary… a White American’s perspective. No bias here right. I’m yet to see a truly balanced take. His complex history is either utterly sanitized by his supporters or thoroughly demonized by his detractors.
We rely upon the statements left behind by the relatives of those he killed. With your logic, Hitler was a freedom fighter for Germanic peoples across Europe, hence total justification for his actions. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this exposition on the real Che . Years back I was educated on the real Che by a good friend who was much older than me. He has been quoted repeatedly on his hatred of Mexicans and African Americans.
My friends family fled Cuba when Castro and Che were taking land from everyone including the indigenous and low income. They’re indigenous and lived in the mountains, and supposedly the communists attacked only the wealthy.
I also have a good friend in Bolivia who wrote a small book titled “Che, assassin of the Aymara People”
Where he exposes Che using indigenous people for his civil war exploits and even murdering many of them.
I’ll admit I was taken by the propaganda film the motorcycle diaries back in 2003.
It’s insane how trendy the shirts and bags with his face were for some time.

@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Are you guys naive or just dishonest? United Fruit Company was owned by Rockefeller - the same verminous psychopath responsible medical research establishment that gave us SARS-CoV-2 and the fake vaxeeeens that the government mandated.
And the primary purpose of United Fruit was to act as a CIA front to destabilise the economies of South and Central America countries.
Oh, and who funded the commies…?
Enough already with this nonsense.
You are either a serial liar or an idiot. Out of charity, I should describe you as an idiot. You did not even know that Guevara's first wife was a Peruvian economist since you confound Hilda Gadea with Hilda Beatriz Guevara. I nearly choked when you praised United Fruit Company for its generosity in providing employment (ie slavery) to people who would otherwise have been unemployed. Having an American claim to provide the "TRUTH about Che Guevara" is like asking a member of the German Nazi party to provide the "TRUTH" about Adolf Hitler". Since you insist on slandering Che Guevara as a mass murderer, may I point out that even if a mere fraction of this were true, it would be insignificant compared to the mass killings carried out by your presidents, former and present ones. Yes, for you, the killings carried out by your presidents can be justified as bringing democracy to the countries concerned, conveniently neglecting to mention the political and, above all, the economic and financial benefits of their killings. By the way, Guevara, a prisoner who had surrendered, was executed on the orders of the US Government who never miss an opportunity to express, albeit wth moral justification, the execution of US citizens in captivity or who, in military uniforms, surrendered. Mr IDIOT, do humanity a favour and kindly keep your lies and/or ignorance to yourself.
By the same token, go ahead and accuse Che of being a child rapist, alright?
I had an extensive conversation a few years ago with an elderly gentleman who fought with Castro's forces as a teenager. He became disillusioned with the communists, escaped to Florida, and had a great 40-year career with Disney. Our discussion did not touch on Guevara, but the man told me that his dad had a highly successful mango orchard of 600 trees. The communists bulldozed the whole thing, completely destroying it.
Che Guevera was used by Castro and died when it was Castro the true villain .We can see today what Cuba is.

Besides his kneeling, one of the most disrespectful acts by Colin Kaepernic occurred in Miami, at a press conference after a football game where he showed up wearing a Fidel Castro shirt. Miami has the largest Cuban American population. There were undoubtably people who saw the photo of Kaepernic who had friends or family members directly or indirectly murdered by Castro and Guevera.
There are no boats in the Cuban harbors. Why ? Because they are escape crafts. Cuba is a prison. We have wealthy family friends who are Cuban and tell us how their relatives in Cuba plead regularly for help to somehow get them out of Cuba. Would love to swap them for any stupid Che lover that lives here.
