(Rosario, Argentina, 1928 - Higueras, Bolivia, 1967) Latin-American Revolutionary. Along with Fidel Castro, whose movement he joined in 1956, he was one of the main architects of the triumph of the Cuban revolution (1959). He later held positions of great relevance in the new regime, but, dissatisfied with the inoperation of the offices and faithful to his purpose of extending the revolution to other Latin American countries, in 1966 he resumed his guerrilla activity in Bolivia, where he would be captured and executed a year later.
Given his life thus in the fight against imperialism and dictatorship, Che Guevara became the greatest revolutionary myth of the 20th century. He was immediately an icon of the youth of May 68, and his figure has remained as a timeless symbol of ideals of freedom and justice that, like the heroes of yesteryear, he judged more valuable than life itself.
Ernesto Che Guevara was born into a wealthy family in Argentina, where he studied medicine. His leftist militancy led him to participate in the opposition against Juan Domingo Perรณn; Since 1953 he traveled through Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela and Guatemala, discovering the prevailing misery among the masses of Latin America and the omnipresence of North American imperialism in the region, and participating in multiple opposition movements, experiences that definitely inclined him towards Marxism.
In 1955 Ernesto Che Guevara met Fidel Castro and his brother Raรบl Castro in Mexico, who were preparing a revolutionary expedition to Cuba. Guevara befriended the Castros, joined the group as a doctor, and landed with them in Cuba in 1956. Once the guerrillas settled in the Sierra Maestra, Guevara became Fidel's lieutenant and commanded one of the two columns that came out of the eastern mountains toward the west to liberate the island. He participated in the decisive battle for the capture of Santa Clara (1958) and finally entered Havana in 1959, ending the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista.
The new revolutionary Cuba granted Guevara Cuban nationality and appointed him head of the Militia and director of the Agrarian Reform Institute (1959), then president of the National Bank and Minister of Economy (1960), and, finally, Minister of Industry (1961). ). In those years, Guevara represented Cuba in various international forums, in which he frontally denounced US imperialism. On a trip around the world he met Nasser, Nehru, Sukarno and Tito (1959); On another trip he met various Soviet leaders and the Chinese Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong.:based-department:
In the task of building a new society in Cuba, and especially in the field of economics, Che Guevara was one of Fidel Castro's most tireless collaborators. In the economic controversy that took place at the beginning of the new cuba, he opted for an original, creative and not bureaucratic or institutionalized interpretation of Marxist principles. Looking for a path to the real independence of Cuba, he strove for the industrialization of the country, linking it to the aid of the Soviet Union, once the attempt to invade the island by the United States had failed and the socialist character of the Cuban revolution had been clarified ( 1961).
Now relieved of his positions in the Cuban state, Che Guevara returned to Latin America in 1966 to launch a revolution that he hoped would be continental in scope: Bolivia thanks to its position in the middle of the continent and its strong natural defences would make ot the ideal starting socialist state.
However, his action did not catch on with the Bolivian masses. From the beginning, his group, baptized as the National Liberation Army and made up of Cuban veterans from the Sierra Maestra and some Bolivian communists, found themselves lacking in support from the peasants, completely alien to the movement. Without any popular support in the rural world, and without support in the big cities for the rejection of communist political organizations, the chances of success drastically diminished.
Isolated in a jungle region where he suffered the exacerbation of his asthmatic disease, Ernesto Guevara was betrayed by local peasants and fell into an ambush by the Bolivian army in the Valle Grande region, where he was wounded and arrested on October 8, 1967. Given Since Che had already become a symbol for young people around the world, the Bolivian military, advised by the CIA, wanted to destroy the revolutionary myth, assassinating him and then exposing his corpse, photographing himself with him, and bury him in secret. In 1997 the remains of Che Guevara were located, exhumed and transferred to Cuba, where they were buried with all honors by the Castro's Cuba

Okay why the fuck are people mad at Shrek?
mean to donkey :(
Folks i got perma'd on reddit for joking about platner of all things lol
I got banned for very mildly insinuating that raising the price on the steam deck was unnecessary
I know we all hate isn'trael here already, but the chapo boys pointed out how the offical isn'treal twitter account was commenting on the Knicks win.
It ups the sus factor that a country has a twitter account and uses it to tweet like they're one of those US based burger chains trying to have a personality.
You ever think about how this bloodsoaked system couldโve persisted for many many more years, but in an effort to squeeze even more money out of it, they invented the notion of people working their way into great riches and financial stability to trick them into credit with compound interest for things like homes and education and healthcare, and in a few short generations broke all those systems so they cant get any more out of them?
Itโs like someone couldโve said โhey that wont workโ but everyone told them to shut up
Watching this reality tv series about chinese lesbians, it's really sweet and wholesome, then in ep 3
spoiler
The director self inserts and goes on a date with one of the contestants
It's very fun
Be careful watching shows like that, especially if you work in the service industry.
My anxiety cleared up when I stopped watching yuyulive
Backrooms was bad wheres the level with the beach that makes you old instead its uh oh themes and such and media literacy.
I don't know how Americans find date movies these days, these A24 things seem like the only current ones I get recommended. Are people going to quirky theaters serving soup & playing Lynch Dune more? What happens?
I'm still laughing that they made a movie about the backrooms. Wasn't that a video game that was just a bunch of liminal space rooms and no plot?
The Merry-go-round That Makes You Old should be more of a trope. Ray Bradbury came up with it in Something Wicked This Way Comes and I saw this other movie that just ripped off the concept as well. We need more Merry-go-rounds That Make You Old in media
Most people don't realize that you can easily Breakout out of a room by going through the drywall between studs
When a road (vium) split in two they put some information about the towns at the end of each route, so the information at that junction of three route options was called Trivia
watching this kung fu episode of rick and morty and it feels like it was literally written by chatGPT
something about the way rick goes "this doesn't make any damn sense" and just like various other things just seem stilted and weird in a way that my brain is screaming "they had an llm do it and tried to clean it up but it inevitably left traces they couldn't undo"
Barista at a cafe I frequent seems to have a crush on me, but I found out sheโs way too young (19). Like itโs kind of obvious sheโs very young in retrospect, she literally like gets clumsy when I smile at her, which is like borderline cartoon behaviour. But also kind of a microcosm of why I have difficulty dating, like if youโre more subtle than this in communicating romantic interest I am not going to figure it out.
it is june 16 and stalin saved the world from fascism
Saw a fucking squirrel kill a fledgling bird near my feeders today and it left my day feeling real sad 
poor little guy
Never thought Iโd say this because I am riddled with ADHD and being late to work has always been a struggle and putting on a professional work-face made me want to die, but I kind of hate working from home now.
So my first run is Suzerain I expected to lose at some point because I was taxing everything hard, nationalising everything and funding every social program and rural project. I figured that this game is giving me centrist vibes so there is no way it will let me win like this.
I even fucked up reforming the constitution, my only international ally was United Contana, I was deeply in debt and the only way I avoided capital flight was by nationalising bergia steel but keeping the HOS private (the only thing I left privately owned)
I fully expected to cause a depression or get couped by the military.
But instead I got a happy ending where I got reelected. Was not expecting that.
I need to go back to work so I stop sitting around thinking of shit to spend money on and start making money instead, ahhhhhhhhhh
like what the fuck is wrong with me. just want want want want. the anxiety in me screams to be choked with consumption. I want an indoor greenhouse to propagate clones and keep them safe from my fucking cat. I want an in-door or above door vent for the bedroom so that I can stop worrying about chronic CO2 exposure as it builds up while we sleep. I want a CO2 monitor to know if i'm crazy for worrying about that. I want paver stones to make a cute little porch in my back yard
According to the internet, no movie has ever used a script and actors are all coming up with lines on the fly.
Notable resignation and letter from PSL Central Committee member and related fomenting split in Brooklyn over it being run as a bureaucratic clique (which many will already be aware of from speaking with various PSL members trying to do more than participate in protests). PSL is good at specific local levels despite the national level dysfunction, and the vast majority of its membership good comrades. But the criticisms certainly ring true to me and are reasonable to cite as existential flaws. There is a bit of clown nonsense from the top on a regular basis (like the call for a general strike, cited in the resignation letter, lmao that is baby liberal idealism stuff).
If you're currently unorganized don't let this stop you from joining, it is more important to be active and learn locally from any non-abusive left space than to do nothing organized.
Surprised more people haven't talked about this, because I know there's a lot of PSL fans here, which makes sense because the only alternatives in the US (of any significant size) are the DSA and the Democratic Party, which I think any hexbear would agree have their own issues.
Maybe this needs a post on the front page to encourage more discussion.
There can be good alternative formations, especially those that are fairly local, but I don't want to plug them in a post adjacent to PSL criticism if that makes sense.
I decided to be the change I wanted to see and made a separate post on it because I wanted to see more thoughts and discussion on the matter. Maybe I won't, but felt worth a try. Copied your comment into it. Hope that's okay, but let me know if it's not.
No complaints here friend!
Zionist girl in my class got dumped by her zionist boyfriend and is now like 75% less ethnonationalist
I hate that so many women just forgo any individuality in relationships and become their boyfriend's mom that affirms and enables all the awful shit he thinks and does. I hate how effective the patriarchy is at socially reproducing these awful men and women they can easily take advantage of.
It's not as if fasc men are actually forming authentic identities either. It's just that what they're sublimating themselves under isn't as apparently personal as a partner.
Sheโs like if I donโt get the post-mortem jizz Iโm not supporting the movement.
:::spoiler Death of a cat Went to the vet, unfortunately my cat had to be euthanised, holding him as he was injected then kneeling down to look into his eyes and realising that I'd missed the exact moment he'd died as the body slowly went cold was so hard. It's so tragic to think that a cat who was so wild and brash and arrogant, who was so sure he would win every scrap he ever had and be right could die so meekly.
His brother doesn't understand yet that he'll never be back and there's no way to explain it, when I came back with the empty cat carrier he was licking the remnants of the last treat i ever gave out of what had been his brother's bowl.

He never came to me when I would call
Unless I had a tennis ball,
Or he felt like it,
But mostly he didn't come at all.
When he was young
He never learned to heel
Or sit or stay,
He did things his way.
Discipline was not his bag
But when you were with him things sure didn't drag.
He'd dig up a rosebush just to spite me,
And when I'd grab him, he'd turn and bite me.
He bit lots of folks from day to day,
The delivery boy was his favorite prey.
The gas man wouldn't read our meter,
He said we owned a real man-eater.
He set the house on fire
But the story's long to tell.
Suffice to say that he survived
And the house survived as well.
And on the evening walks, and Gloria took him,
He was always first out the door.
The Old One and I brought up the rear
Because our bones were sore.
And, he'd charge up the street with Mom hanging on,
What a beautiful pair they were!
And if it was still light and the tourists were out,
They created a bit of a stir.
But every once in a while, he would stop in his tracks
And with a frown on his face look around.
It was just to make sure that the Old One was there
To follow him where he was bound.
We're early-to-bedders at our house -- I guess I'm the first to retire.
And as I'd leave the room he'd look at me
And get up from his place by the fire.
He knew where the tennis balls were upstairs,
And I'd give him one for a while.
And he'd push it under the bed with his nose
And I'd dig it out with a smile.
But before very long He'd tire of the ball
And he'd be asleep in his corner In no time at all.
And there were nights when I'd feel him Climb upon our bed
And lie between us,
And I'd pat his head.
And there were nights when I'd feel this stare
And I'd wake up and he'd be sitting there
And I reach out my hand and stroke his hair.
And sometimes I'd feel him sigh and I think I know the reason why.
He'd wake up at night
And he would have this fear
Of the dark, of life, of lots of things,
And he'd be glad to have me near.
And now he's dead.
And there are nights when I think I feel him
Climb upon our bed and lie between us,
And I pat his head.
And there are nights when I think I feel that stare
And I reach out my hand to stroke his hair,
But he's not there.
Oh, how I wish that wasn't so,
I'll always love a dog named Beau.
- 'Iโll Never Forget a Dog Named Beau' by Jimmy Stewart
When I visit my grandmother's house I get this hot prickling sensation all over. It's like the place is too clean, too tidy I don't know how to describe it. She's the type who puts the toaster away under the sink when she isn't using it.
It isn't like she doesn't have decorations, she does. She even has a dog! Something about the place just feels very uncomfortable.
I put in a maintenance request with my apartment complex because I noticed a brown stain developing on the ceiling that indicates a water leakage. It's been getting larger over the past few weeks with all the rain we've been having.
Dawg, they sent someone over to just spray paint it white. I mean, look, I'm gonna be out of here in a year, but you think these fucking parasites would at least want to maintain their own property so they can charge the next sucker an exorbitant amount of money.
Sometimes they wait for your lease to be up and only do renovations after you leave and before they rent again. Jacking up the rent of course, a leak-free ceiling is premium luxury. This way they don't have to compensate you in any way for your trouble and can do all their "repairs" in one go.
This is your brain on land leechism.

Very nice! Did you take this photo?
I did, went for a walk today and it started to rain. Sat on a bench under these beautiful huge linden trees and took the picture while listening to the rain.
Sounds lovely
For fuck's sake why can't people just not use homophobic language? I really enjoy the style and some of the songs of the rapper Lupe Fiasco. "Kick, Kick, Push" is the first song I play every time I go on a bike ride. I never skated, but it just captures the feeling really well and I love that song.
I was putting groceries away a few minutes ago and his song "Cripple" was playing. Putting the fucking cabbage in the fridge and he hits me with the F slur:
F slur
"don't be aremoved, let me poke that yoo-hoo with my ding-dong."
Nevermind that it's a silly fucking lyric.
Before I went to write this post I did a very quick search 'Lupe Fiasco homophobic'. I glanced through the results and then immediately came here. I don't have the energy to sift through the slop, and I don't trust the wide internet's opinion anyway. But apparently some actually consider him an ally. For no reason aside from vibes, I'd kind of felt that way about him. He uses the F slur in another song that I know about, but it's referring to a cigarette.
I'm sure I'll listen regardless. It's not like it's consistent or even common, and I really do enjoy the music. That said, is anyone familiar with him or his music who could shed some light? I do not celebrity. I don't follow these people or their lives.
So idk. Thoughts? Feelings? Music suggestions? I listen to a lot of hip hop and rap while I work because it plays nicely with whatever flavor of undiagnosed and untreated neurospiciness I've got going on (suspected audhd) and helps keep my anxiety at bay. I'll put some artists in a spoiler for some context. I know damn well a lot of them are in fact homophobic or otherwise problematic. I just was caught off guard by the instance this post is about. I'd really love to get into more left-leaning music. By queer artists or women is a plus. GalaxyBrain, I don't want to @ you as I'm sure you'll see this anyway, but is this in your wheelhouse at all?
