Che had a very interesting take on what poverty can do to people. "They stop being father, mother, sister or brother and become a purely negative factor in the struggle for life and, consequently, a source of bitterness for the healthy members of the community who resent their illness as if it were a personal insult to those who have to support them." In this depressing quote, Che describes how poverty can turn a family, one of the most fundamentally important privileges to have in South America, from an asset to a liability. This shows somewhat of a drive that he may have mustered while writing and thinking about this.
