Che Guevara – Conqueror of Injustice... An Immortal Revolutionary

Professor Deeb Akkawi writes a reflective and emotional article about Che Guevara, tracing his intellectual journey from childhood to admiration for Guevara as a symbol of honesty and sacrifice. He questions Guevara's motives for leaving a life of palaces after the Cuban Revolution's success to continue guerrilla warfare, and notes that Guevara pioneered the foundations of guerrilla warfare taught in military institutes and used by liberation movements, citing the Lebanese resistance against Israel. He concludes that Guevara deserves the title "the most perfect human being of our time" as described by Sartre.

Professor Deeb Akkawi writes a reflective and emotional article about Che Guevara, tracing his intellectual journey from childhood, where he thought Guevara was a religious man, through adolescence when he began to learn about communism and Marxism, to his boundless admiration for Guevara as a symbol of honesty and sacrifice. The author questions the motives that led Guevara to leave a life of palaces and power in Cuba after the success of the Cuban Revolution, to continue a life of fighting and hardship in the forests and jungles. The author proposes several hypotheses: the spirit of revolution and rebellion against injustice, addiction to struggle, or a historical mistake as Shakespeare would say. The author notes that Guevara pioneered guerrilla warfare and established its foundations, now taught in military institutes and law schools, and mentions that the recent war waged by the Lebanese resistance against Israeli forces in Lebanon benefits from these foundations. The author concludes that Guevara deserves the title "the most perfect human being of our time" as described by philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, while emphasizing that admiration for his personality does not necessarily mean belief in his Marxist principles.
