We Have Taken Plants From The Capitalist

Why Does The Guerrilla Fighter Fight? We Must Come To The Inevitable Conclusion That The Guerrilla Fighter Is A Social Reformer, That He Takes Up Arms Responding To The Angry Protest Of The People Against Their Oppressors, And That He Fights In Order To Change The Social System That Keeps All His Unarmed Brothers In Ignominy And Misery.

It Is A Revolution That Came To Power With Its Own Army And On The Ruins Of The Army Of Oppression.

Revolutions Are Not Exportable: Revolutions Are Created By Oppressive Conditions Which Latin American Countries Exercise Against Their Peoples.

This Is Not A Story Of Heroic Feats, Or Merely The Narrative Of A Cynic; At Least I Do Not Mean It To Be. It Is A Glimpse Of Two Lives Running Parallel For A Time, With Similar Hopes And Convergent Dreams.

We Said That Each Time A Country Is Liberated It Is A Defeat For The World Imperialist System. But We Must Agree That The Break Is Not Achieved By The Mere Act Of Proclaiming Independence Or Winning An Armed Victory In A Revolution. It Is Achieved When Imperialist Economic Domination Over A People Is Brought To An End.
