Guerrillas in Power
Book •
Originally published in the 1960s, Guerrillas in Power collects Ernesto 'Che' Guevara's reflections on revolutionary strategy and the transition from armed struggle to government.
Guevara discusses economic planning, moral incentives versus material incentives, and the role of revolutionary ethics in building socialism.
The work influenced debates within leftist movements about development, discipline, and the formation of a 'new man' under socialism.
It served as a point of reference for Latin American revolutionary projects and for policymakers in early postrevolutionary Cuba.
While polemical, the book offers insight into the ideological underpinnings that shaped Cuban policy during the 1960s and 1970s.
