I have no idea what settling accounts in yuans has to do with Che Guevara.
Che Guevara died in a struggle to emancipate Bolivian peasants from poverty
and cultural degradation. He hoped that Cuba's ability to supersede "the
law of value" could be replicated in Bolivia. His only mistake was to adopt
a schematic 'foquismo' approach to making a revolution and relying on the
Bolivian CP.

In sharp contrast, Vladimir Putin and Jiang Zemin are doing everything they
can to sharpen class distinctions in the name of capital accumulation. You
might as well compare Tony Blair to Lenin, as some self-deceiving ex-CP'ers
in Great Britain probably have done in the pursuit of lucrative government
careers.
