15-Minute History

NOTE

Embrace the Cold Necessity of Revolution

The necessity of revolutionary zeal often leads to extreme measures, as evidenced by the ruthless execution of perceived enemies under Castro's regime, reflecting a chilling belief in the need for violence to maintain power. Che Guevara's ideology highlighted an absence of compassion, viewing the need for judicial proof as an outdated bourgeois concept and advocating for a cold, calculated approach to eliminate dissent. His approach extended to economic policies, as seen in his role in land reforms, aligning with a broader strategy that alarmed the United States and resulted in economic sanctions. Guevara's writings on warfare and Marxism reveal an understanding of historical dynamics and the belief in a radical transformation of society through force if necessary.
