En un pasaje previo que no apunté Jon L. Anderson señalaba que Ernesto Guevara rehusó uno de muchos trabajos durante su exilio en Guatemala porque para aceptarlo tendría que afiliarse al partido comunista.
El llegar a ser comunista, cuenta en una carta a su madre...
"... is reached by two roads: positively, by being directly convinced, or negatively, after a deception with everything. I reached it by the second route only to immediately become convinced that one has to follow the first. The way in which the gringos...treat America had been provoking a growing indignation in me ..."
Porque estaba ya claro que:
"In spite of my vagabonding, my repeated informatlity and other defects, I have deep and well-defined convictions. [...] I am poor but honest"
En la comparación posterior de las personalidades de Fidel Castro y Ernesto Guevara, algo más adelante, Anderson aclara su punto de vista:
"For Guevara, politics were a mechanism for social change, and it was social change, not power itself. [...] The Guevaras may have been black sheep within Argentine society, but they were still society. However much Ernesto sought to reject his birthright and to sever his family links, he was indelibly imprinted by them.
Es un convencido que trata duramente a su primera mujer, Hilda, pero que sigue siendo el muchacho en permanente lucha contra sus propias limitaciones físicas y, quizás también, contra lo más frustrante de su propio ser:
"Che was extremely sensitive to Fidel's approval and anxious to retain his status as a member of his inner circle. [...] and to have fallen in his idol's approval must have been a very hard blow indeed."
¿Consigue el hijo lo que el padre no logró?
