Abstract
In 1965, Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s letter to the Uruguayan press entitled, El Socialismo y El Hombre Nuevo (Socialism and the New Man) described his vision for a socialist Cuba. Guevara wrote about the importance of a new consciousness where people would no longer think of themselves as commodities to be bought and sold (for their labour) and where no one is denied basic needs.
