Schoenman is no romantic. He dismisses those who have "romanticized" Che Guevara by emphasizing personal bravado, "at the expense of his vision." Che's vision--which Schoenman shares--is that of the continuing revolution. He quotes Che: "The struggle for the Cuban Revolution is the struggle for the extension of the Revolution in Latin American." Schoenman pauses, and then continues, "Elan is only a thing which can mobilize the people...

One was that we should stand more or less as a beacon and an example--a more passive form--of demonstrating to the world one form of development and hopefully the form of development that they would emulate in due course...
...that society's basic malady was a weariness with traditional humanism. He assessed man's efforts to achieve salvation through political ideology and art, and concluded that the U.S. had begun to shift from a whisky culture to a dope culture.

Hamilton entitled Black Power. Stokely's vision as outlined in the book, is decidedly not a very radical one. Carmichael seems to see the black people of this country as being little different from traditional ethnic, immigrant groups. Thus, he would have the black people of America act as a disciplined interest group, to extract demands from the pluralistic society. This accomplished, he believes...
