Guevarism

Guevarism is a revolutionary ideology inspired by the ideas of Che Guevara, a key figure in the Cuban Revolution. It builds on Marxist-Leninist principles but emphasizes guerrilla warfare as a means to achieve socialist change, particularly in underdeveloped countries. Guevarists believe that small, committed groups can spark mass uprisings against imperialism and capitalism, leading to a broader revolution. Central to Guevarism is the idea of fostering revolutionary consciousness among the people and the importance of creating a new socialist society through active resistance and direct action, often prioritizing the role of the rural peasantry in the revolutionary process.
