The Politics of Che Guevara: Theory and Practice | Samuel Farber
1 post | 1 read
This reexamination of Ernesto "Che" Guevara's thoughts on socialism, democracy, and revolution is a must-read for today's activists—or anyone longing to fight for a better world. Fifty years after his death, Guevara remains a symbol to legions of young rebels and revolutionaries. This unique book provides a way to critically engage with Guevara's economic views, his ideas about revolutionary agency, and his conduct as guerrilla commander and government administrator in Cuba. Samuel Farber was born and raised in Cuba. He has written extensively on Cuba and the Cuban Revolution and is author of Cuba Since the Revolution of 1959.

A wonderful book made no less great by its brevity. Farber does an amazing job at raising up Che‘s revolutionary and radically egalitarian politics while also being able to point out his very real short comings as a revolutionary leader. Exploring Che‘s bohemian, petit bourgeois upbringing and values that he carried throughout his life helped to shed light on these short comings and the very real limits to his politics.
