Who We Are
HumanProgress.org is a project of the Cato Institute
Hmm. Let's Google that.
The Cato Institute is an American libertarian think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was founded in 1977 by Ed Crane, Murray Rothbard, and Charles Koch, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Koch Industries.
Oh yes I'm sure this website is totally not super anti-communist drivel.

I agree. I want to add this (old)reddit thread in r/AskHistorians about 'Was it the truth behind the critical controversy surrounding Che Guevara?

A man who died undoing the sins of his early 20s. We all learn from our mistakes, Che made it his life's work to do better than his childhood prejudices.
Damn you're right, Che Guervara "was no angel." I guess this whole Marxism thing is just a waste of time, glad I have perfect choices to vote for here in America.
LOL
