Che Guevara was a poseur, someone who talked about solitary with the sugar cane cutters, spent one afternoon cutting sugar cane, and then fled back to Havana for another photo opt. He was a phony, a Hollywood actor playing Billy The Kid. He accomplished nothing, and that he was popular with the intellectually impoverished is evidence. 

An Argentine sees himself as a great soccer player, a great Hollywood actor, a movie star, waiting only to be discovered.  Che was discovered, he was for the great revolution. . . . are the cameras rolling?  Wait, I need my cigar, and a little more makeup. Do I look profound, romantic? 

Fifty years later the cutters of sugar cane in Cuba still cut sugar cane with antiquated technology, day after day in the hot sun.  They are still waiting for Che to show back up, for another great photo opt, and two hours of solidarity for the cameras.

¿Qué Pasa Con Cuba? 

Still, all things considered, Havana is a thousand times better than Juarez or Honduras or any of the other USA hybrids with their maquilas, [or manufacturing zones]. The USA though its benign neglect [reminiscent of the reign of Porfirio Díaz] has created situations in many Latin American countries that are worst than Cuba will ever be, and these American slave zones contain none of the culture of Cuba. 

The children the Argentines dropped out of army helicopters over the Río de la Plata were dropped with CIA complicity, the brutal corruption and nepotism of Venezuela's elite's has been replaced by a half-wit who believes that to cure the heart disease of corruption you remove the heart. The witch doctor tactics of Hugo Chávez are not suitable for the production of freedom, the fifty year old VooDoo politics of the US Government will not produce freedom. Everyone is busy creating what we don't need. 

What do we need? 

We need freedom. If we have to have freedom by lying on a beach in Cuba and pretending the sugar cane cutters have a life, or pretending Obama's plan to "close all the tax havens", is going to somehow benefit us, okay let's live in a world of pretense. To be free means we have to learn to ignore the idiocy of government in all of its hideous forms and live our own life as an EscapeArtist. If you suffer pangs of guilt over the victims of government you can always rush back to America and open a Health Care clinic for Darwin's failures, or go out to the sugar cane fields and spend the day in solidarity. Reality in the 21st century teaches one thing clearly to those who are paying attention; and that is that governments do not produce freedom, the insinuation that they might do so is a contradiction in terms.
