"We should not allow the word 'democracy' to be utilized apologetically to represent the dictatorship of the exploiting classes." — Che Guevara, 'Guerrilla Warfare: A Method', 1963


American right-wingers like to ignore the inconvenient fact that Che Guevara battled 3 U.S.-backed dictators on 3 separate continents (Batista/Cuba, Mobutu/Congo, & Barrientos/Bolivia).

The right-wing also likes to avoid acknowledging that Che's radicalism was spawned from living in Guatemala during the 1953 overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz by the CIA (Operation PBSUCCESS) on behalf of Secretary of State Dulles and the United Fruit Company.

As the Cuban Revolution and Che proved, when given the decision of backing a democratic government that represents the interests of the majority of a nation’s citizens or a fascist right-wing dictator who will protect the business interests of the United States = the U.S. will always chose the latter. And as many of the recent U.S.-backed dictators and oligarchic "Royal Families" in the Arab World continue to feel the pressure from their people; it's important to remember that the deposed Hosni Mubarak in Egypt was only one in a long line of U.S. government backed tyrants ...


The historical list of U.S.-backed dictators includes:

René Barrientos (Bolivia), Fulgencio Batista (Cuba), Hassanal Bolkiah (Brunei), P.W. Botha (South Africa), Humberto Branco (Brazil), Chiang Kai-Shek (China), Jean Claude Duvalier (Haiti), King Fahd (Saudi Arabia), Francisco Franco (Spain), Ferdinand Marcos (Philippines), Hosni Mubarak (Egypt), Islam Karimov (Uzbekistan), Teodoro Mbasogo (Equatorial Guinea), Sese Seko Mobutu (Zaire), Ríos Montt (Guatemala), Manuel Noriega (Panama), Maximiliano Martínez (El Salvador), Georgios Papadopoulos (Greece), Shah Pahlevi (Iran), Augusto Pinochet (Chile), António Salazar (Portugal), Anastasio Somoza (Nicaragua), Alfredo Stroessner (Paraguay), General Suharto (Indonesia), Rafael Trujillo (Dominican Republic) and Jorge Videla (Argentina) ...


While the historical list of democractically elected leaders who the U.S. helped overthrow includes:

Salvador Allende (Chile), Jacobo Arbenz (Guatemala), Víctor Estenssoro (Bolivia), João Goulart (Brazil), Patrice Lumumba (Congo), Mohammad Mosaddegh (Iran) and Kwame Nkrumah (Ghana).


Hence, the real reason why Uncle Sam had to ensure that Guevara was killed was because Che stood as a heroic example that overthrowing the U.S.-backed tyrants and boot-licking-puppets-of-death was possible! The U.S. gives lip service to "democracy", but what they really seek are brutal lap dog stooges who will let America rape their homeland for a financial cut = like Fulgencio Batista who killed 20,000 civilians before fleeing Cuba with $300,000,000 in payoffs and $700,000,000 in fine art, after Che defeated him at the Battle of Santa Clara.


"The (U.S.) slogan 'we will not allow another Cuba' hides the possibility of perpetrating aggressions without fear of reprisal, such as the one carried out against the Dominican Republic or before that the massacre in Panama — and the clear warning stating that Yankee troops are ready to intervene anywhere in America where the ruling regime may be altered, thus endangering their interests." — Che Guevara, one of his last letters, April 16, 1967
