There are no borders in this struggle to the death. We cannot be indifferent to what happens anywhere in the world, because a victory by any country over imperialism is our victory, just as any country's defeat is a defeat for all of us.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine.

The problem of peaceful transition to socialism, we do not discuss it as a theoretical question. But in America it is very difficult, and it is nearly impossible. That is why specifically in America we say that the road to the liberation of peoples, which will be the road of socialism will go through bullets in almost all countries.

What we consider is that the Venezuelan government is not a leftist government, has nothing of a leftist government. It is an oppressor, an oppressive government, it is a murderer - he murders them - the peasant fights in the region of Falcon, for example, where there are military advisers of the U.S.

I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.

As long as imperialism exists it will, by definition, exert its domination over other countries. Today that domination is called neocolonialism.

One must endure without losing tenderness.
Che Guevara

I knew that the moment the great governing spirit strikes the blow to divide all humanity into just two opposing factions, I would be on the side of the common people.
Che Guevara

The interests of the IMF represent the big international interests that today seem to be established and concentrated in Wall Street.
Che Guevara

I would rather die standing up to live life on my knees.
Che Guevara

Justice remains the tool of a few powerful interests legal interpretations will continue to be made to suit the convenience of the oppressor powers.
Che Guevara

It is a revolution that came to power with its own army and on the ruins of the army of oppression.
