Che's Ideology



I think Che's ideology was that brothers should help brothers, and not worry about money. Che loathed the existence of money and thought the world would be a better place without it. He wanted everyone to help each other to create a successful community, where no one person is better than another, and no money need be exchanged. I think this is why he fell in love with the San Pablo Leper Colony; it was a facility where everyone helped each other, lived off the land, and did not use money.

Che seems to have always done what he thinks is necessary for his country. He would often work in the fields and do "petty" work to show he was helping out and that he was no better or worse than anyone else. He educated people and gave them jobs. He did whatever he could to assist his brothers.

It is odd though that he wanted to help out his fellow brothers, but at the same time he executed and watched people execute thousands of people. Were they not his brothers as well?
