“In his frequent basketball matches, Fidel has started using a new move he simply calls ‘The Step.’ It is undeniably effective, yet is its goodness equally undeniable? As revolutionaries we must not merely pay attention to ends, but to means. I worry that this flash and pomp is not befitting of the revolutionary leader. It serves to separate him too much from those caught in the chains of a maudlin life, marred by oppression and economic strife. Yes, it leads to a basket, but at what cost to the communal spirit?”
- Journal Entry by Che Guevara, 12 December 1962
Che Guevara got dunked on so hard by Castro that he theory nerded out, declaring the Euro Step to be at a ‘cost to the communal spirit’

If true, this hurts, alas.
Doesn’t matter, Fidel got buckets
I was going to ask how is this not some copy pasta?
I love this shit because all these heroes and villains were really just weird little dudes who happened to be the right people for the moment.
We need to replicate Che’s brain (preserved somewhere in a Bolivian basement) on a machine learning model to generate all the juicy leftist discourse he would have started had he had a twitter.
Fidel is scoring so hard he named his own killer move that, I gotta admit, makes him win so much. But has he considered that being this frustratingly amazing at basketball makes the rest of us jealous?! >:(
It’s kind of awesome they were this close friends, in a way.
I felt the same way the first time someone checked me be dribbling thru my legs.
Face it Ernesto, you’re Castro, but less so
Always thought that line went hard AF
I’m so split on that battle because there’s so many good lines (ches first verse especially) and then there’s also “muh Venezuela” and “Cuba bad” and dated references
