Guevara, Che famous quote interpration

             "It is not a matter of wishing success to the victim of aggression, but of sharing his fate; one must accompany him to his death or to victory"
             This quote is probably the most famous quote to have come from Che. It has been reproduced on T-shirts and posters across the world. This indicates this quote gives some meaning to those who read it. It is a powerful quote whether you like Che Guevara as a man or not.
             The quote seems to imply that simply hoping the oppressed will win their struggle is not enough. When people watch T.V. and see those poor children starving what do they do most of the time? They change the channel. This lack of compassion and courage to help the world around them is what Che was trying to change. Most of the time people in the West will sponsor a child from a developing nation and feel they have done all they can do. This is the attitude that needs to be changed. What is $30 dollars a month to a family with an average income of $60 000? Just simply hoping that the problem will fix itself if we all just give 30 dollars a month is not enough. After all hope will not win you a revolution.
             Oppression must be stopped by any means. If this means people have to leave their comfort zone to make a difference, than that is what has to be done. It is time people around the world rise up together as one and topple dictatorships, and other oppressive governments. We all live on this planet, it is time we start helping our neighbors.
