che Guevara?

[matt-o]

i had previously been told trhat he was a anti-communist revolutionary, but now i am being told that he was on castro's side and was killed by CIA trained bolivians. which would be true?

no im not one of those tools with a che guevara hat, shirt, or poster. those people just suck for the most part because they have no idea what he was even involved in. people seem to have him and bob marley mixed up these days.

He was an Argentinian pro communism revolutionary, he was Castros right hand man for the Cuban revolution. I think he was a doctor aswell. After they formed the new gouvernement in Cuba he toured other countries trying to spread his beliefs, alot of people think he was asassinated by the CIA in bolivia, I don't know anytihng about that.

Real name ERNESTO GUEVARA (1928-67), Latin American guerrilla leader and revolutionary theorist, who became a hero to the New Left radicals of the 1960s.

Born into a middle-class family in Rosario, Argentina, Guevara received a medical degree from the University of Buenos Aires in 1953.

Convinced that revolution was the only remedy for Latin America's social inequities, in 1954 he went to Mexico, where he joined exiled Cuban revolutionaries under Fidel Castro.

In the late 1950s, he played an important role in Castro's guerrilla war against Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, and when Castro came to power, he served as Cuba's minister of industry (1961-65). A strong opponent of U.S. influence in the Third World, he helped guide the Castro regime on its leftward and pro-Communist path.

The author of two books on guerrilla warfare, Guevara advocated peasant-based revolutionary movements in the developing countries. He disappeared from Cuba in 1965, reappearing the following year as an insurgent leader in Bolivia.

He was captured by the Bolivian army and shot near Vallegrande on Oct. 9, 1967.

I got most of it right.

Yes, he was gunned down by the CIA. They actually took credit for that a few years ago.
