THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

CHE GUEVARA, "DOCTOR" OF DEATH





As it happens, this video dealt specifically with an issue in the Toronto public schools.  But the broader topic of Che Guevara and the bizarre reverence with which he is still held by many in our own country is very relevant.  I've had arguments in the past with friends and even family both in the States and in Ireland who think it's cool to wear a t-shirt featuring the iconic image of Che with his beret and beard.  They almost never have an idea as to what he was really about and if they do it's the movie version that makes him out to be some sort of tragic figure. Well, he was a tragic figure, if by that you mean he was the instigator of a great deal of tragedy for his victims and their families.  Many of them live in the United States and can never forget the trauma of the revolution and the Communist conquest of their homeland.

  1. Academia is so blinded by the will to be socialists that they are willing accomplices in burying the truth about murderers like Che. The left's "good intentions" always end up hurting people. Historical facts are to be ignored, because they always think the next time they try socialism, by god, it will work!
    Great video - should be shown in Toronto and all schools.
