Why does the guerrilla fighter fight?

We must strive every day so that this love of living humanity is transformed into actual deeds, into acts that serve as examples, as a moving force.

Che Guevara
Image
The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind! Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination! If the nuclear missiles had remained (in Cuba) we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S. including New York City!
Che Guevara

The fundamental principle is that no battle, combat, or skirmish is to be fought unless it will be won.

Democracy is not compatible with financial oligarchy, with discrimination against Blacks and outrages by the Ku Klux Klan.
Che Guevara
Image
I am not the representative of guerrilla in this hemisphere. I would say that the representative would be Fidel Castro which was the leader of our revolution and who had the most outstanding role in the direction of the revolutionary struggle and directs the strategy of the Cuban government.

I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.
