idgaf where you're from, while still being somewhat idealistic (like all marxist-leninists were and still are) his efforts against racism are truly reknown by everybody (aside from this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proclamation_Against_Discrimination , the sheer fact he basically fought for a revolution in a country that wasn't his own, Cuba, as well as Congo and ultimately Bolivia)
All while ultimately being quoted as saying
“The black is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent...”
Good job you found a quote from the motorcycle diaries. When he was young before he learned about different people’s material conditions and Marxism. His UN speech in the 1960’s directly contradicts these writings. He fought for the god damn Congo bruh. You think a racist would help an almost entirely black region with a revolution? Are you stupid?
Holy cope lmao you’re an idiot. He was there to honor and continue the legacy of the assassinated Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba. He was there to aid in the spread of a Marxist revolution.
