Che Guevara left Cuba shortly afterward. He left one final letter to Fidel Castro, in which he wrote: Mr. Corish calls on the electors in this election to forget the politics of tradition (…) In other words forget the men of the past. Forget Pearse and Connolly, forget Tone arid Mitchel. Let us switch, he appeals, to the new heroes of the international revolution, the Che Guevaras, and the Danny the Reds’. One of the lengthier reports on Guevara’s life, came from the Evening Echo in 1990, charting ‘The Rise and Fall and Che Guevara’, it fully ignored any of the attention which had previously been placed on Guevara’s Irish heritage, instead opting for his revolutionary life of violence where he converted Castro to ‘full-bloodied communism’. [34] One was impulsive, the other thoughtful; one emotional and optimistic, the other cold and skeptical,” Castandeda writes. “One was attached only to Cuba; the other, linked to a framework of social and economic concepts.

After the execution, his body was flown to a nearby town, where it was put on display at the local hospital. His hands were dismembered and flown to Argentina for fingerprint verification. He then was buried in an unmarked grave. Guevara's remains weren't discovered until a retired Bolivian general told the author Anderson of their location in 1995. The hospital Nuestro Señor de Malta (Our Lord of Malta) is preserved there, as well as its famous laundry where the bodies of Che Guevara and some of his men were shown to the public. This was the place where the famous photographs were taken by Freddy Alborta, a Bolivian photographer and documentary filmmaker.

I know you've come to kill me," Guevara said, according to legend, as he stared his executioner in the eyes. "Shoot, coward! You are only going to kill a man." The fundamental axis on which he guided his political-theoretical-military action was the beginning of Marxist humanism. In other words, Che suggests that it is essential to distinguish between Marx's humanism and bourgeois humanism, traditional Christian, philanthropic, etc. Against all abstract humanism that claims to be "above class" (and which is, in the last analysis, bourgeois), Che's, like the liberation of man of Marx's, is explicitly engaged in a proletarian class perspective. Thus radically opposing "bad humanism" he declares that: and the realization of their potentialities can only be realized by the revolution of the workers, peasants and other exploited classes that eliminates the exploitation of man by man and establishes rational domination and collective of men (proletarians) on their process of social life.

It is this discipline that has made him so powerful, as he is described as 'one of the three men alive more powerful than a machine gun'.
