Ok I know what you are thinking. This will not happen because he was more interested in guerilla warfare and Castro was alive and all that. I know that. But for a moment lets assume that Castro and his entire cabinet is captured by aliens and for any reason Che becomes Cuban leader
This is not a question of how it happens. Its a question of economic theory.
Would he collectivize all agriculture into cooperatives or not?
Would he push towards autarky or would he dabble into trade which he considered un-socialist
Trying to understand Guevara's method of economy is like trying to solve a puzzle which loops back into itself
To put it bluntly, the man was a confused mess high on the drug called 'Anti-Revisionism'
One day he supported Maoist collectivization and establishment of cooperative farms
the next day he says cooperative farms are bad because it creates an economic super structure in opposition to the state
one day he says Communist world should never emulate western economic developments because they lead to capitalism
the next day he says its ok to borrow from the capitalist world without fearing ideological contamination
what do you think would be his ideal and realistic economic system?
would it be like North Korea?
