Russell Brand reads Che Guevara letter: 'grow up as good revolutionaries'

Following the announcement Russell Brand will perform at Letters Live in 2016, here is his reading of a letter from Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara to his five children, left with his wife to be read in the event of his death. Guevara was executed in 1967 in Bolivia.

Che a revolutionary.. a controversial figure.. But he stood what for what he believed in. He was not hungry for power or money but an equal society. His hands were red; but without blood no revolution is possible if you look at the history. It's awkward when English and American talks about blood and murder.. their past is horrendous...they killed most people for their own selfishness just like mao or lenin. They were the one who promoted slavery and took land from red indians and genocided and made them refuge in their own home.the world has changed; we are happy and enjoying our life. so do some research then comment about historical figure cause history is written by the victor I.e. usa and uk

Che Guevara is one of the greatest Humans in History

Death to imperialism death to capitalism

Ragazzo la stella del COMANDANTE GUEVARA brillera ` per sempre !!!!

[flowerofscotland]

If I'm wrong seriously, please tell me. But since the Cuban Revolution was attacked, he's not defended it. He gave up on his Hollywood career. So why the silence, Russ?

It's a good revolutionary stance that Russel has adopted.
Wide, combat-ready base and genitals thrust outwards defiantly.

Almost anyone but a pampered entertainer is better qualified to speak about social injustice.

He is very good, it's like Che is speaking trough him

Lots of uneducated people in the comments. Read up and stop parroting reactionary takes 😁

I’m pretty sure this fella murdered a whole bunch of people. But as long as the ends justify the means right.

[gargolic]

Any single Idea worth a single drop of innocent blood.

[StaticTeaz]

beautiful in certain respects but trying to "master nature" may not be wise

[mathias]

What a terrible message from a terrible man

[newona]

I am so disgusted right now. I can’t believe I respected Russell

[mirko]

People need to stop romanticizing this kind of murderers.

[AlejandroHernandez-xovu]

Russel read the letter to his children, but if you are going to talk about humanism it is better to read the letter to his father where he says that enjoyed killing people, please don't worship a murdered

[juliosoto]

Fun fact: This was written in Argentinian, not English.

Russel Brand is a joke. I wish he would stop pretending to have anything in common with someone as great as Che.
