dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I mean 67 out of the 82 he landed with were killed within 3 days. That plays havoc with the chain of command. Che was only meant to be the doctor for the party and had to step up.

Regardless you're also forgetting Camilo Cienfuegos who was the official second in command of Fidel's faction. His politics were pretty opaque, presumably some sort of leftist but how radical unclear. He died in a plane crash towards the end of the revolution.
