TRUTH about Che Guevara - Forgotten History

In the 1960s, for the United States, the greatest threat was just 90 miles south of Florida, Cuba and the communist dictatorship established by Fidel Castro and his proxy Che Guevara. Che Guevara was a scholar, philosopher, writer, teacher, healer, revolutionary, mass murderer, psychopath. So who was the real Che Guevara? Hosted by Colin D. Heaton.

As a native Hispanic, who was taught about Che Guevara's history, I have always been shocked to see people here in the US idolize him! But then, we need to remember the extremely failed public education system here in the US, compounded by what the media shows the general population.

I used to have a Rage Against the Machine cloth poster hanging throughout my teenage and late 20s. When i moved to Florida and became very close friends with some cubans, especially my cuban best friend like a brother who was also ex-cuban military special forces but anti-socialist and is a greater/deeper United States Constitution lover than most natural born Americans scolded me and was deeply distressed over my ignorance of the level of Pos Che was and how he murdered thousands of innocent people women and children. I took it down immediately and educated myself. My friend Eddr is a great human being and even better American Citizen who loves the United States 🇺🇸.

I grew up during this times and originally from Latin America and i have always been very aware of who Che really was, and just like lots of people, it amaze me how they idolized this guy who in reality was a murderer.

[nomelleganlasnotificaciones]

being a cuban I was going to say something bad about this monster since the video did not go into details about it but after reading some of you guys coments I am impressed how much you know and how much his immage has change lately. Information is a powerful tool.

“To execute a man we don’t need proof of his guilt. We only need proof that it is necessary to execute him. It is that simple.” Che. And yet he is an idol to youths around the world.

[IrishTechnicalThinker]

That Che Guevara picture was drew by famous Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick, he didn't know how much of an impact it would have on the world.

I use to wear a Che shirt in college…I wish time travel existed so I could go back and kick my own ass.

[pughconsulting]

Growing up in Florida, I knew they sold t-shirts with Che on them but I never saw anyone wearing one. The large Cuban culture and presence weren't going to tolerate that nonsense.

[itinerantpatriot]

Based on the reaction to this video I'm glad to see che is finally falling out of favor with a lot of people. It used to bother me greatly when I would see young people who were either babies or born after the Wall came down wearing tee-shirts with his image on it. They had no idea what this guy was all about or how people suffered under communism.

[kenhoyer]

Most people don't have any idea who Che was. They just think he looks cool on a shirt.

[thefleecer]

Another classic example of a "hero" of the workers who never worked a day in his life

[pjwarez]

You basically skimmed over the fact that he completely destroyed the Cuban economy. Many historians say that is mostly likely the #1 reason Castro distanced himself and sent him away. He may have been good at Chess, but knew squat about economics.

Funny time magazine picks the worst people for its covers

[ericsierra-franco]

He was an ambitious and bloodthirsty revolutionary. He sent lots of people to their deaths. A Latin American Robespierre.

[mgcarmkm]

Unfortunately for the people of Cuba and other oppressed people they had one dictatorship replaced with another. Castro preached socialism and despised capitalism but after his death it was reported he had a personal fortune of over one billion dollars.

[LGENDZLuLKeK]

Such a great channel, Ty so much for all the time and effort you put into bringing us these great moments of history.

[AlexanderNixonArtHistory]

Guevara in Franco's Spain talking to Perón about revolution in Bolivia--mind blown! This is up there with Bolívar witnessing Napoleon's coronation.

[turtledunkknucklebaby]

Imagine telling the USSR they don’t know what real communism is…

[francisebbecke]

Che was one of those people whose romantic image overwhelmed the facts about his murderous psychopathology. I understand that picture of him starring off into eternity which formed a lot of this image was taken by accident when he stepped in front of a French cameraman who was trying to photograph Castro. The image became popular during the French protests of 1968 about college dorm visiting policies.

What I found interesting is that this video glossed over the fact that the United Fruit Company refused to pay taxes on the land that Arbenz gave back to his people. They claimed the land was unusable for crops so that was part of the reason why the Guatemalan government nationalized it and distributed back to their people. Imagine if some foreign country like China had a stronghold on American land, claimed it was useless but still made money off of it, what would we do?
