"Hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold-blooded killing machine. This is what our soldiers must become"
this man, who ordered the execution of countless human beings while in charge of the notorious La Cabaña prison in Havana, who terrorized Cuban society and who denied freedom to thousands of citizens whom he considered "deviants" or "anti-revolutionaries" can never be accepted as a hero, martyr or -- the shock of it -- a saint. The blood of thousands of Cubans is on the hands of "Che" Guevara.This "idealized icon" is the one who, as a modern day Grand Inquisitor, eliminated many of his foes with a single pistol shot to the back of their heads. And he is also the same one who authored these enhancing words printed in the identity booklets of young Cuban soldiers sent to fight in Angola:
"Blind hate against the enemy creates a forceful impulse that cracks the boundaries of natural human limitations, transforming the soldier in an effective, selective and cold killing machine. A people without hate cannot triumph against the adversary."

Alguno me puede ayudar con las frases del Che...

Por ejemplo, la famosa frase un pueblo sin odio no puede triunfar sobre un enemigo brutal aquí está mutilada.

El odio como factor de lucha, el odio intransigente al enemigo, que impulsa más allá de las limitaciones naturales del ser humano y lo convierte en una eficaz, violenta, selectiva y fría máquina de matar. Nuestros soldados tienen que ser así: un pueblo sin odio no puede triunfar sobre un enemigo brutal.
