I made the bitter reflection that we were 13. One more than those that Fidel had after the landing of 'Granma' ... but he was not the same boss. -Ernesto Guevara
In a moment of introspection, Ernesto Guevara reflects on the number of individuals involved in their revolutionary efforts, noting that they are thirteen, ironically one more than the group Fidel Castro had when embarking on their transformative journey with the 'Granma.' This comparison highlights a sense of historical significance and pressure, as Guevara grapples with the weight of leadership and the sacrifices required in the fight for change.
Guevara’s acknowledgment that "he was not the same boss" underscores the evolving nature of leadership and the circumstances surrounding their mission. It suggests a recognition of the challenges they face and the different paths they must navigate compared to past revolutionary leaders. This reflection captures the spirit of sacrifice and the heavy burden carried by those involved in such a tumultuous struggle for liberation.
