A true Latin hero and an inspiration of mine....Miles away from a pitbull or dumb people like that!!! heres why..... An array of notable individuals have lauded Guevara as a hero;[236] for example, Nelson Mandela referred to him as an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom,[196] while Jean-Paul Sartre described him as not only an intellectual but also the most complete human being of our age.[237] Others who have expressed their admiration include authors Graham Greene, who remarked that Guevara represented the idea of gallantry, chivalry, and adventure,[238] and Susan Sontag, who supposed that [Ches] goal was nothing less than the cause of humanity itself.[239] In the black community, philosopher Frantz Fanon professed Guevara to be the world symbol of the possibilities of one man,[240] while Black Power leader Stokely Carmichael eulogized that Che Guevara is not dead, his ideas are with us.[241] Praise has been reflected throughout the political spectrum, with the libertarian theorist Murray Rothbard extolling Guevara as a heroic figure, lamenting after his death that more than any man of our epoch or even of our century, [Che] was the living embodiment of the principle of revolution,[242] while journalist Christopher Hitchens commented that [Ches] death meant a lot to me and countless like me at the time, he was a role model, albeit an impossible one for us bourgeois romantics insofar as he went and did what revolutionaries were meant to do—fought and died for his beliefs.[243] Sociologist Michael Löwy contends that the many facets of Guevaras life (i.e. doctor and economist, revolutionary and banker, military theoretician and ambassador, deep thinker and political agitator) illuminated the rise of the Che myth, allowing him to be invariably crystallized in his many metanarrative roles as a Red Robin Hood, Don Quixote of communism, new Garibaldi, Marxist Saint Just, Cid Campeador of the Wretched of the Earth, Sir Galahad of the beggars... and Bolshevik devil who haunts the dreams of the rich, (while) kindling braziers of subversion all over the world.[233]
