fidel please stop dunking on me its hurting the communal spirit 
More like "I'm really mad he didn't pass me the ball that one time so I will use the immortal science of Marxist Leninism to demonstrate why being a ball hog is a twelfth type of liberalism"
I think people underestimate how much of a Marxist-Leninist committee-loving guy Che was. Read his diaries, even in the Congo he is always holding committees and not just for utility. The man truly believed in all parts of the ideology, not just direct action. It is really dorky sometimes, and in the best way
A lot of these guys were giant nerds and it's endearing
Would love to hear his thoughts on outdoor cats.
Yah know it is funny, I'm reading a history of the Russian Revolution right now, and for every account of like a cool march or occupation or soldiers defecting from the front, there's like 10 accounts of "Lenin and Trotsky had a meeting where they planned to have another meeting with some other Russian guy so they could plan their meeting with the Soviet so they could organize a committee..."
Jesus Christ that shit sounds more exhausting than adventurism! Can I please just blow something up I can't take any more Committees to form Committees on Committees!!!
You're gonna have to talk to the committee-skipping committee if you wanna skip past the committees like that. They're pretty busy so we've made a committee to schedule their time, so you can swing by us first and we'll fit you in the queue. Were the queue committee, not to be confused by the Q-commitee or the ewe-commitee
Castro will never invent the two step pep pep bastketballl schlep 
in retrospect, maybe this should've been posted to the dunk tank 
Che was just salty Fidel kept mopping the floor with him during their one-on-ones.
writing in my journal that i'm absolutely NOT MAD that I keep getting styled on
“Che, mijo. Step your game up. You’re already on S and it’s only been 5 minutes! Three more strikes before you get A, N, and O!”
lol he did the leftist wall of text but in smack talk form
World-class Cuban healthcare arose out of a need to repair all the ankles Castro broke on the way to the basket.
Castro dunking on Che like
Dunk on me, coward, you only dunk on a man
Skill issue
Right? Simply learn to combat "the step."
Mao delineating a dozen forms of "The Step" a la Combat Liberalism.
Fellas, is Fidel too baller?
Glad to see the "are women bourgeois?"-type discourse predates the modern left.
All the women I know seem to be lumpen
In Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth (1961), the lumpenproletariat of the colony, as ex-peasants displaced by the introduction of capitalist relations of production in agriculture, carry the kernel of the peasantry’s anti-colonial culture to the cities, where they play a crucial role in the emerging revolutionary nationalist movement. In the United States in the 1960s–1970s, the Black Panther Party postulated that the African American lumpenproletariat could, because of the racial and economic histories of American capitalism, be organized as a revolutionary agent.
"I can fix her"
I'm imagining Fidel playing like a Harlem Globetrotter, showboating while Che is just trying to play pickup basketball
damn bros my basketball skills lead me to believe i'm revolutionary as fuck
on the eurostep question
Amigos, es homosexual para jugar al baloncesto?
The day El Che gave in to revisionism. This is why constant self-crit is important.
Che wouldn't like afromans more showboating policy
Also it reads like a joke, not something serious
I'm not so sure -- that article basically just recycles the Medium article it links to, which has "quotes" like this:
Spencer Hawes: People seem to think I don’t do the Euro Step because I’m not athletic enough, but the real reason is that I refuse to pay homage to such a “bad hombre.”
That Che diary entry either exists or doesn't, that's what to focus on.
Yeah, I would like a primary source now. I just wanted to find something that wasn't just this JPEG posted here. Would probably be in Spanish is it exists.
Alright, after reading the medium article this is clearly some sort of joke. None of those quotes read in the voice of any of the people that they're supposed to be from and sound more like interview responses than journal entries or "declassified documents".
A fun bit that it seems got cycled through the blog circuit and ended up in more credible papers to fill space.
Fidel: "Che stop being such a fucking nerd!"
Is the criticism here that he's playing basketball or that he's too good at it
The criticism is the move has too much "flash and pomp" so they're basically saying he's not acting "presidential."
but it's because he wins at basketball, not because he plays basketball, right?
I can read it both ways
My boi Fidel can have a little bourgeois basketball move, as a treat.
Leftist infighting be like:
JokicJoestar?
Che: Yes, it leads to a basket, but at what cost to the communal spirit?
Imagine if they managed to produce Cuban Jokic and sent him to play in the NBA
Is... Is The Step bourgeois?
No way is this real, right?
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
