Ideology of Che

I think that Che’s personal ideology is obviously that of utopian communism. He believes that all people should be equal, and everyone should share what they earn or make. When he was asked, “Are you an economist?” his response was simply “I am a communist.” He is not a communist in the sense that Fidel Castro I though because Castro, while all for the equal sharing of wealth between the people he rules over, he does not want to share that with other nations without some gain to himself. Che believes that it is important not to expect anything in return, and to just do what he believes is right, and help out other countries in similar situations that Cuba was in, and not follow the path of the Soviet Union. This way of thinking can not only be seen in the dislike for the USSR that Che had, but also in how he encouraged Cubans to voluntarily work to change Cuba’s economy even though they may not have seen the profits of their hard work and labor directly.
