Some people say no. My question is: why not?I think I know the answer. Is because they don’t know anything about him! They say that he was not in the middle of the combat during the revolution, but that is the biggest lie I have ever seen.
Actually, the life of our fighter is the opposite of that affirmation. Since he was a little boy, the “Che” use to test the limits of his body. He was asthmatic but use to play rugby and was forced to inject adrenalin in his veins to keep going.During the revolution, he was always the first person waked and the last to have a nap. The asthma was not a problem to him and he was very focused in his objectives. He was always fighting with the others and he was one of the best fighters of the movement. When the revolution was over, a lot of his comrades were happy with the victory and started to work for the economy of the island (
Cuba). A lot of people don’t know that Guevara commanded the economy of
Cuba during a couple of years. But he was very unhappy with some attitudes of Fidel Castro and so, he left the island to make a revolution in the Belgium Congo. (The letter of the Che is very well-known) I think that this attitude shows that he was not fighting for money but for his concepts. Unfortunately, the movement failed.
After that, we have the biggest prove of Guevara’s bravery: instead of coming back to
Cuba to his great job, he decided to fight for another revolution: the Bolivarian revolution. As we all know (I wonder), that decision provoked his dead. And he died fighting for his concepts and not for money or glory. In my opinion that is enough to say that he IS a hero. Currently, the politics men use to do the opposite of Guevara: they fight for money and glory. Excuse-me, did I said that they fight? No! They don’t do that! They oppress and force the others to fight for them!
That is in part, why I think that Guevara is a hero. For those who think he is not a hero, my condolences: you talk about what you don’t know or maybe our oppressive system corrupted your mind.
