Cuba

Aqui hay una aerograma cubana con tema de Che Guevara.

Che Guevara is a world-renown figure when it comes to the fight for independence and has been synonymous with "fight for a cause" movements.

A Latin American revolutionary leader, he rejected both capitalism and orthodox Soviet communism. Guevara lived an adventurous life. Guevara's tragic early death in Bolivia (by execution, although the government at the time said he died in battle) created a legend that still lives. He once said that "the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love", but he also wrote influential works of guerrilla warfare.

One of his more famous quotes, which is printed in the design of the Aerogramme, reads:

Porque esta gran humanidad ha dicho: «¡Basta!»
y ha echado a andar. Y su marcha de gigantes, ya no se detendrá

(Because this great humanity has said: “That is enough,” and has been urged to move. And its march of giants will no longer pause.)

Unfortunately, and much to my dismay, the aerogramme was not cancelled. However, it is nice to receive Che Guevara memorabilia that actually comes from Cuba!
