Che Guevara has been preserved in history on two levels. The first is as a revolutionary who fought to expel capitalism from Central America with the goal of 'freeing his people' and delivering them to the utopia of communism. The second is as a capitalist driven cult market of t-shirts, coffee mugs, films, posters, and books. A third portrayal of Che is coming to the forefront. Che's bloody reign of terror in Central and South America is being told by authors from the region who remember the legacy of this psychotic killer. Two books revealing the real Che are:
The CHE Guevara Myth by Alvaro Vagas Llosa
OR
Exposing the Real Che Guevara: And the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him
Humberto Fontova
Che and his army of 'revolutionaries murdered, tortured and imprisoned thousands of Central Americans and Cubans. Che brought to Central American and Cuba the communist invention of 'forced industrialization'. Forced industrialization is a Stalinist invention where able bodied populations are forcibly conscripted into the service of occupying communist troops, or in Che's case: revolutionaries. Those who were not deemed able bodied were simply executed or tortured to death. In 1982 I met an old man at Ft. Sherman, Panama. His hands and face were scared, as if he had been horribly burned. He spoke broken English, but good enough to understand his story. He had fled Columbia, after being set on fire by Che's revolutionaries for the crime of being too weak to endure the brutal conditions in one of Che's work camps. His family had died in the camps; victims of starvation and beatings. When he was no longer able to work he was set on fire and left to die in the jungle. He survived, left with excruciating pain for years and terrible scars. He was one of the living legacies of Che Guevara.
We see Che t-shirts in the protest marches full of illegals denouncing immigration policy of the United States. Either the protesters don't know the truth, ignore the truth about Che or condone his bloody reign of terror.
