Consciousness and Psychology

Helen Yaffe

Chapter 8 in Che Guevara, 2009, pp 199-232 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This joke, which Guevara told whenever he had the chance, shows not just his ironic sense of humour, but also a deep recognition that the paradigm of the socialist ‘new man’ he advocated was a profound challenge to the culture and nurture of Cuban workers.2 Cuban socialism had not, in Marx’s words, ‘developed on its own foundations’, but emerged from capitalist society, ‘thus in every respect, economically, morally and intellectually, still stamped with the birth marks of the old society from whose womb it emerges’.3
