"It's a great pity that they repress people like this. Apart from whether collectivism, the 'communist vermin,' is a danger to decent life, the communism gnawing at his entrails was no more than a natural longing for something better, a protest against persistent hunger transformed into a love for this strange doctrine, whose essence he could never grasp but whose translation, 'bread for the poor,' was something which he understood and, more importantly filled him with hope" (78).
Che viewed this encounter with communism as a unique new experience. This first shed of light on this new ideology may impact how he embraces socialism down the road. He is already sensing people need a brighter future, and collectively may be the best way to reach that common goal.
