History vs. Che Guevara - Alex Gendler 

I think Che should've been judged by both. In other words, they should've been weighed carefully. Afterall, that's why Lady Justice carries a scale, to weigh both sides of one story. Also, I think he was merely a misguided anti-hero, like Red Hood or Richmond Valentine. They didn't need to die, they needed only another way.

I want to see more History VS videos.

TED-Ed any thoughts on Vlad the impaler?

TED-Ed can you pls make a video about Sultan Ahmed the conqueror?

!is it possible for me to translate the video into Arabic? there seems to be no such an option in the video

Nah Its which side history is on And remember history is only written by the winners Capitalists won so I guess che Guevara is a murderer

@@maddogbasil it also depends on who writes the textbooks, in Cuba the textbooks probably have Che as a hero and the CIA as murders. What this video does well, in my opinion, is show how both the US (or “capitalist”) and the Cuban versions of history are insufficient, both sides are needed to provide a true perspective

@@maddogbasil William Wallace wrote his story and he lost the war so not ONLY winners.

i would agree except when it comes to harming civilians. if you intentionally harm civilians youre a terrorist point blank period. che guevarra is a terrorist

@@bigploppa154 Sure, like the US or any other "regular" army has never deliberately harmed civilians, have they?

@Lot Krotan us was the aggressor. USSR tried to level the playing field. Also the blockade by us was illegal by international law which doesn't help US's case

@@agentprismarine2778 when it comes to the Cold War, the aggressor is determined by how many years you go back.

You’re either speaking on something that you do not truly understand with no ill intent at best, and spouting lies intentionally misrepresenting history at worst. So which is it?

Not to mention the terrorist war the US waged against Cuba and the signals that convinced the Soviets that the US was going to illegally invade the island to topple the regime

It’s because America is the brain of all nations and determines mosts beliefs

@@szynszylku1447 if the government is controlled by the oligarchy (people who control the monetary funds of a country), than the newspapers are technically already under government control. That being said, It isn’t about having to choose between government and oligarchy because there considered the same thing. However, the goal for Guevara and most communists during the period was to push out the oligarchy who controled the monetary system and propaganda and place them under there own control in order to push their communist agenda which was to replace the capitalist monetary system with the communist monetary system. I simply agreed with Guevaras claim, doesn’t mean i agree that Communism is less cruel than capitalism.

@@Saber23 I'm afraid that most people give emotional arguments far more weight than logical ones. Its a sad world when democracy, as good as it is compared to the alternative, is whats holding us back most of the time.

Because the Cuban government censors its media. It promotes literacy so that its people can read government propaganda and only that.

It means that on one side he helped the people by educating them but on the other he helped capitalism because “newspapers are tools of the oligarchs “
