Semi-related: "Monika Ertl was the daughter of a Nazi propagandist who had fled to Bolivia. For this reason she grew up surrounded by her family’s Nazi friends.
Among these nefarious characters were people like the head of the Gestapo, Klaus Barbie, also known as the “Butcher of Lyon”, who according to British director Kevin Macdonald orchestrated the assassination of Guevara.
Monika cut ties with her fascist family and moved closer to communist militancy. She was deeply moved by the assassination of Che Guevara in 1967, which led her to join the Bolivian National Liberation Army (ELN), which Che led before his death.
Under her new nom de guerre, “Imilla,” she worked with Che’s former comrades to hunt down his assassin. In 1971, Monika arrived in the German city of Hamburg, where she searched for Pereira, who worked at the Bolivian Consulate.
Once she found him, Monika executed Che’s assassin with three shots in the chest. When she escaped, she left her wallet, a wig, a revolver and a piece of paper with the words “Victory or Death - ELN”.
It did not take long for the Bolivian dictatorship, backed by the United States, to demand her head and put a $20,000 reward on anyone who captured her dead or alive. However, Monika successfully returned to Bolivia with more targets in mind, including her family’s Nazi friends.
As expected, her death was not long in coming. It was in 1973, when CIA-trained special units ambushed and assassinated her in the city of La Paz. Her body was never found. For her heroic deed, Monika was nicknamed “Che’s avenger”."
What an absolute GIGACHAD, I can’t believe I haven’t heard of her before.
Aaaand of course some “antinazi” immediately had to shit there:
Klaus Barbie = Che Guevara to them. Fucking scum.
Of course they’re being dishonest here, they in fact don’t believe that killing Che was the only good thing that Barbie did, because their implicit statement is that Nazis are good when they kill communists, which the Butcher did plenty in Europe too. They usually don’t dare to say it openly, but they are no less giddy and glad about all those other murders than they are Che’s.
Liberals’ stance toward Nazism is that they view it as distasteful to openly associate with but useful as it does their dirty work of murdering communists. They will ally with Nazis, recruit Nazis, enable, help and defend Nazis when they are fighting their common enemies which is communists and anti-imperialists of all stripes. And they are always just itching for any opportunity to be allowed to celebrate Nazis committing mass murder and atrocities so long as it is against a sufficiently demonized group, they cannot wait for it to be socially acceptable again, and to a certain extent that is already the case nowadays when it comes to Nazis killing Russians.
And soon, when the imperialists kick off the open conflict with China in earnest - something which they are all writing about as essentially inevitable at this point - it will become even more acceptable to celebrate the most heinous and inhumane shit imaginable being done to Chinese people. They will be calling for genocide and will feel absolutely morally righteous doing so. And the more that they lose and get humiliated by China - which they will - the more enraged and bloodthirsty they will become.
Agree. I just hope they will retain last shreds of humanity (or at least their ruling class will go for damage control instead of va banque) and don’t nuke all of us.
