On the 50th anniversary of his death there appears to be two
main reactions concerning the legacy of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. One side mainly hailing from the left portray
him as a selfless freedom fighter. The
other side generally from the right see him as a murderer and supporter of
totalitarianism. The man was not without
his faults. He was a man of
contradictions who had a fixation on violence as a way of attaining social
justice, but undoubtedly was deeply emotionally effected by human
suffering. However the most important
lesson he taught us was to see the world less in terms of borders and more in
terms of common values and challenges.
