Ernesto Che Guevara's book "Excepción histórica o vanguardia en la lucha anticolonialista" is a seminal work that examines the role of colonialism in Latin America and the need for revolutionary action to overcome it. In this book, Guevara argues that colonialism has created a system of oppression and exploitation that must be challenged through armed struggle. He contends that the traditional leftist approach of reforming the existing system is insufficient and that a new vanguard must emerge to lead the fight for independence and social justice. Guevara's analysis is rooted in his experiences as a doctor in rural Cuba, where he witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of colonialism on the lives of ordinary people. He argues that the struggle against colonialism is not just a political or economic issue, but also a cultural and social one, as it seeks to challenge the dominant ideologies and values that have been imposed upon the colonized peoples. Throughout the book, Guevara draws on historical examples of anti-colonial struggles, including the Haitian Revolution and the Cuban War of Independence, to illustrate his points. He also engages with Marxist theory, arguing that colonialism is a form of imperialism that is inherent to capitalist systems and must be combated through revolutionary action. Overall, "Excepción histórica o vanguardia en la lucha anticolonialista" is a powerful call to action for those seeking to challenge the injustices of colonialism and build a more just and equitable world. Its insights continue to resonate today, as many of the issues Guevara identified remain unresolved and continue to plague societies around the world.

[Verde Olivo, 9 de abril de 1961]
La clase obrera es la clase fecunda y creadora, la clase obrera es la que produce cuanta riqueza material existe en un país. Y mientras el poder no esté en sus manos, mientras la clase obrera permita que el poder esté en manos de los patronos que la explotan, en manos de los especuladores, en manos de los terratenientes, en manos de los monopolios, en manos de los intereses extranjeros o nacionales, mientras las armas estén en manos del servicio de esos intereses y no en sus propias manos, la clase obrera estará obligada a una existencia miserable por muchas que sean las migajas que les lancen esos intereses desde la mesa del festín. / Fidel Castro
