A stop in Chile

During Che's time in Chile, he was here during a presidential election. At the end of the section, Che discusses how the candidates come from different political fields. He feels that the front runner is Carlos Ibanez who is part of the socialist party. He favors the anti-United States view point. I think this is where Che first really discovers the differences in political systems and it is where he starts deciding for himself which he believes will work best. He sees how discrimination affects people, like how, "40,000 communists were being denied the right to vote" (p.88)
