trying to figure out how the virtues of a revolution wash away the blood from the hands of a ruthless murderer?

Murdering peasants because they didn't drop their plows to join his guerrilla forces? Executing his Marxist comrades, because he SUSPECTED they MIGHT not be faithful to the revolution has he was? Thousands of summary executions in La Cabaña prison (including boys, women and the mentally ill) without a hint of a trial, let alone charges? What side of the coin is that?

"To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate." – Che Guevara

Nope. OBenario4 Oct 2017 #17
