IMPERIALISM

A true revolutionary is guided
by a great feeling of
love.

Above all, always be capable of
feeling deeply any
injustice
committed against anyone,
anywhere in the world.
This is the most beautiful quality
in a
revolutionary.

– Ernesto Che Guevara

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Dec. 11 — Maj. Ernesto Che Guevara, a top lieutenant of Premier Fidel Castro, charged in the General Assembly today that the United States, helped by Latin neighbors, was preparing aggression against Cuba.

The charge was promptly rejected by the accused Central American nations and by Adlai E. Stevenson of the United States.

“We are taking every step necessary,” Mr. Stevenson said, “to insure that raids are not launched, manned or equipped from United States territory.”

As Major Guevara spoke, windows in the Secretariat skyscraper on the East River were shaken by the explosion of a rocket‐launcher shell believed to have been set off by Cuban exiles.

December 11, 1964, 19th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York:

Those who kill their own children and discriminate daily against them because of the color of their skin; those who let the murderers of blacks remain free, protecting them, and furthermore punishing the black population because they demand their legitimate rights as free men — how can those who do this consider themselves guardians of freedom?

— Ernesto Che Guevara Argentine-Cuban revolutionary
