More quotes by Che Guevara
Real revolutionaries adorn themselves on the inside, not on the surface.
Che Guevara
Socialism is young and has made errors. Many times revolutionaries lack the knowledge and intellectual courage needed to meet the task of developing the new man with methods different from the conventional ones - and the conventional methods suffer from the influences of the society, which created them.
Che Guevara
It is an illusion to think that the matter can be resolved through words.
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 finally felt myself lifted definitively away on the winds of adventure toward worlds I envisaged would be stranger than they were, into situations I imagined would be much more normal than they turned out to be.
Che Guevara
Youth must refrain from ungrateful questioning of governmental mandates. Instead they must dedicate themselves to study, work and military service. The very spirit of rebellion is reprehensible.
Che Guevara
Silence is argument carried out by other means.
Che Guevara
A country that does not know how to read and write is easy to deceive.
Che Guevara
If it is an element of liberation for Latin America, I believe that it should have demonstrated that. Until now, I have not been aware of any such demonstration. The IMF performs an entirely different function: precisely that of ensuring that capital based outside of Latin America controls all of Latin America.
Che Guevara
Revolutions are not exportable: revolutions are created by oppressive conditions which Latin American countries exercise against their peoples.
Che Guevara
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.
Che Guevara
Mexicans are a band of illiterate Indians.
Che Guevara
Let's liquidate all the atomic bases in Cuba and in the U.S. and we are in complete agreement with that.
Che Guevara
At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.
Che Guevara
We do not have elections. But the great majority of the Cuban people supports its government.
Che Guevara
The amount of poverty and suffering required for a Rockefeller to emerge, and the amount of depravity entailed in the accumulation of a fortune of such magnitude, are left out of the picture, and it is not always possible for the popular forces to expose this clearly.
Che Guevara
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.
Che Guevara
We feel that there is a necessity to strengthen unity and that it will be strengthened and the bloc, the monolithic bloc of socialist countries will be formed again.
Che Guevara
The negro is indolent and a dreamer spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations.
Che Guevara
...because it is the very nature of Imperialism to turn humans into beasts.
Che Guevara
