About Me

Hey, how many governments have YOU overthrown?I was born on May 14, 1928 (though my birth certificate was falsified to state taht I was born in June). I grew up the son of an intelligent woman with a fairly sizeable inheritance, and a man with a pension for growing a form of tea. I initially became inspired by the loss of the Spanish to Fascist Franco, and after attending medical school, and touring South America by motorcycle, I authored the book, the Motorcycle Diaries and realized my calling: the liberation of Latin American people from the hands of Capitalism. Before my death, I would assist Fidel Castro in overthrowing Batiste's Cuba (afterwards, I authored Guerilla Warfare and Memoirs of the Sierra Maestra), I attempted and fought in revolutions in Africa and South America. I was killed by Bolivian soldiers in Bolivia in October 1967 and my corpse was tossed into a mass grave. Many of you teenyboppers know my face because I was on a RageAgainstTheMachine tshirt. While I appreciate the sentiment and...even beyond the grave, I find humor in the fact that thousands of middle to upper class American adolescents have visited malls and Best Buys the continent over donning a shirt with my image on the front (Irony at its finest), maybe some of you idiot frat boys should learn about what I stood for and what my legacy should serve to teach.

My Interests

Socialism, revolution, uniting the peoples of Asia, South America and Africa to counteract the influence and domination of American Capitalism, medicine, guerilla warfare.

I'd like to meet:

GeorgeWBush (you spoonfed aristocrat, don't tell my people how to live!), the Pope (thanks for helping to set the movement back a couple of decades...it's great that you only care about getting starving people food if they're willing to accept Christ), the EZLN, Sendero Luminoso and FARC. Oh- and to the People's Republic of China- if you want to have a monstrous flourescent sign of my image, you'd better start representing the proletariat instead of just using my image to rile up those who still believe in a revolution you forgot a long time ago.

Movies:

someone is making movies about me now. check it out when you get a chance, hopefully they won't tarnish my image and screw everything up like Americans usually do.

Books:

the Motorcycle Diaries, Memoirs of the Sierra Maestra, Guerilla Warfare (if I wrote anymore, please remind me, I've been dead for over 25 years, it takes a toll on the memory.

Heroes:

my mother was a strong, important figure in my life. I also admire the proletariat and the members of my guerilla units over the years.
