Che Guevera's of Our Generation

Che is an interesting human in Western History. He is a man that devoted himself to bettering the world. As a Marxist, he saw the Capitalist systems infringing upon the world, so he decided to fight the Capitalists.

Regardless whether one is a capitalist or a marxist, Che is a heroe that fought for what he believed in. He went to Cuba with his buddy Castro, and through Guerilla warfare, he and a handful of troops took over the entire country. A small group of men defeating an entire army would be impossible today; yet somehow he accomplished this feat. And once he got into power, he implemented the type of policies that he thought would be for the betterment of the world: marxist policies.

People that have visions, but at the same time must use violence to acheive their vision, are often labelled as terrorists in today's world. Over the next few weeks, i will be compiling posts within the framework of, "Che Guevera's of our Generation: the Man behind the terrorist". It will focus on men (and maybe women), who advocated change, but who did outside of the sphere of mainstream thought. People that thought the government and media's vision for change was boring, so they decided instead to implement their own vision.
