[Fifty five years ago today (October 09, 1967), Comrade Che was murdered by the CIA in Bolivia. A hero of the world proletariat, Che continues to live in our memory and through our struggles against imperialism and capitalism. JoP republishes this post to commemorate the death anniversary of the great revolutionary Che Guevara.]

Let me begin by broadly sketching the history of our revolutionary struggle before and after the taking of power.
