Unholy Alliance Revisited

The children of Che Guevara were in Iran joining forces with the jihad when an Iranian speaker said that Che was “a truly religious man who believed in God and hated communism and the Soviet Union.” At this point Che’s daughter, Aleida, said “My father never mentioned God; He never met God.” (H/T Fausta.)

The Guevara children were quickly “whisked away.” Later, Aleida “insisted that ‘progressists everywhere’ focus on fighting America rather than probing each other's personal beliefs.” Recommended reading: The Unholy Alliance.

As I wrote on DD's blog: "The left is now driven by nihilism. After socialism has failed and the Berlin Wall fell, the left had nothing left but its visceral irrational hatred of capitalism and America. Multiculturalism is merely a means of rejecting the West, environmentalism is merely a means of rejection the industrial revolution and science, affirmative action is merely a means of rejecting standards of excellence, and their sympathy for the 7th century theocratic barbarian Islamists is the ultimate rejection of Enlightenment ideas. And I haven’t even mentioned post-modernism!"
