`Che Guevara`,`Notes for the Study of the Ideology of the Cuban Revolution (1960 )`,`http://marxists.org/archive/guevara/1960/10/08.htm`,`The merit of Marx is that he suddenly produces a qualitative change in the history of social thought. He interprets history, understands its dynamic, predicts the future, but in addition to predicting it (which would satisfy his scientific obligation), he expresses a revolutionary concept: the world must not only be interpreted, it must be transformed. Man ceases to be the slave and tool of his environment and converts himself into the architect of his own destiny.`

`Che Guevara`,`On Development (1964)`,`http://marxists.org/archive/guevara/1964/03/25.htm`,`And the imperialists? Will they sit with their arms crossed? No!The system they practice is the cause of the evils from which we are suffering, but they will try to obscure the facts with spurious allegations, of which they are masters. They will try to compromise the conference and sow disunity in the camp of the exploited countries by offering them pittances.`

`Che Guevara`,`Socialism and Man in Cuba (1965)`,`http://marxists.org/archive/guevara/1965/03/man-socialism.htm`,`At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality. Perhaps it is one of the great dramas of the leader that he or she must combine a passionate spirit with a cold intelligence and make painful decisions without flinching. Our vanguard revolutionaries must idealize this love of the people, of the most sacred causes, and make it one and indivisible. They cannot descend, with small doses of daily affection, to the level where ordinary people put their love into practice. `

`Che Guevara`,` Guerrilla warfare: A method, Chapter 1`,`https://www.marxists.org/archive/guevara/1963/09/guerrilla-warfare.htm`,`Guerrilla warfare is used by the side which is supported by a majority but which possesses a much smaller number of arms for use in defense against oppression.`

`Che Guevara`,` Guerrilla warfare: A method, Chapter 1`,`https://www.marxists.org/archive/guevara/1963/09/guerrilla-warfare.htm`,`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. `

`Che Guevara`,` Guerrilla warfare: A method, Chapter 1`,`https://www.marxists.org/archive/guevara/1963/09/guerrilla-warfare.htm`,`The guerrilla fighter, as a person conscious of a role in the vanguard of the people, must have a moral conduct that shows him to be a true priest of the reform to which he aspires. To the stoicism imposed by the difficult conditions of warfare should be added an austerity born of rigid self-control that will prevent a single excess, a single slip, whatever the circumstances. The guerrilla soldier should be an ascetic. `

`Che Guevara`,` Guerrilla warfare: A method, Chapter 3`,`https://www.marxists.org/archive/guevara/1963/09/guerrilla-warfare.htm`,`The part that the woman can play in the development of a revolutionary process is of extraordinary importance. It is well to emphasize this, since in all our countries, with their colonial mentality, there is a certain underestimation of the woman which becomes a real discrimination against her. The woman is capable of performing the most difficult tasks, of fighting beside the men; and despite current belief, she does not create conflicts of a sexual type in the troops. `

`Che Guevara`,`Message to the Tricontinental (1967)`,`https://www.marxists.org/archive/guevara/1967/04/16.htm`,`We must bear in mind that imperialism is a world system, the last stage of capitalism — and it must be defeated in a world confrontation. The strategic end of this struggle should be the destruction of imperialism. Our share, the responsibility of the exploited and underdeveloped of the world is to eliminate the foundations of imperialism: our oppressed nations, from where they extract capitals, raw materials, technicians and cheap labor, and to which they export new capitals — instruments of domination — arms and all kinds of articles; thus submerging us in an absolute dependence.`
