More quotes by 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
Revolutions are not exportable: revolutions are created by oppressive conditions which Latin American countries exercise against their peoples.
Che Guevara
The state sometimes makes mistakes. When one of these mistakes occurs, one notes a decline in collective enthusiasm due to the effect of a quantitative diminution in each of the elements that make up the mass. Work is paralyzed until it is reduced to an insignificant level. It is time to make a correction.
Che Guevara
Our attitude is very clear. In effect there is the conflict, ideological conflict which we all know. We have stated our position in the sense of unity among socialist states - unity as a first measure.
Che Guevara
Our youth must always be free, discussing and exchanging ideas concerned with what is happening throughout the entire world.
Che Guevara
Guerrilla warfare is used by the side which is supported by a majority but which possesses a much smaller number of arms for use in defense against oppression.
Che Guevara
If we had to kneel in order to live in peace, [ U.S. government] will have to kill us before.
Che Guevara
It's not my fault if reality is Marxist
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 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
One does not necessarily have to wait for a revolutionary situation: it can be created.
Che Guevara
We have a lot of friends, but not among the governments - the friends are in the peoples. And in the last instance the peoples will be the rulers of those states.
Che Guevara
It's a sad thing not to have friends, but it is even sadder not to have enemies.
Che Guevara
I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.
Che Guevara
If they attack, we shall fight to the end. If the rockets had remained, we would have used them all and directed them against the very heart of the United States, including New York, in our defense against aggression. But we haven't got them, so we shall fight with what we've got.
Che Guevara
The ***** is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent.
Che Guevara
How can it be mutually beneficial to sell at world market prices the raw materials that cost the underdeveloped countries immeasurable sweat and suffering.
Che Guevara
We travel just to travel.
Che Guevara
The myth of the self-made man, has to be profoundly hypocritical: it is the self-serving demonstration that a lie is the truth
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.
