Ideology
Throughout the documentary, it is very obvious that Che has distinct values that he is willing to die to defend; however, I really don't think I have any ideals that I believe in nearly as strongly as Che. Just like much of the rest of society, I value honesty, integrity, and several other basic ideals, but I am definitely not willing to go to the same lengths as Che to enforce them. Even though I believe that these values are important, I do not believe that my values should be forced upon others, which was what Che intended to do by liberating Cuba with Castro.

I believe Che's actions were fully backed by his ideals but I am not so sure that he was trying to force his ideals on others. I think that he was defending the people of Latin America against another nation taking over and his communism is what led him to this but I do not think he was forcing this on everyone completely. As for your ideals, I agree that I would never go as far as Che either, thats just crazy.
