 An indignant Guevara ended his speech by reciting the Second Declaration of Havana , decreeing Latin America a " family of 200 million brothers who suffer the same miseries " . This " epic " , Guevara declared , would be written by the " hungry Indian masses , peasants without land , exploited workers , and progressive masses " . To Guevara the conflict was a struggle of masses and ideas , which would be carried forth by those " mistreated and scorned by imperialism " who were previously considered " a weak and submissive flock " . With this " flock " , Guevara now asserted , " Yankee monopoly capitalism " now terrifyingly saw their " gravediggers " . It would be during this " hour of vindication " , Guevara pronounced , that the " anonymous mass " would begin to write its own history " with its own blood " and reclaim those " rights that were laughed at by one and all for 500 years " . Guevara closed his remarks to the General Assembly by hypothesizing that this " wave of anger " would " sweep the lands of Latin America " and that the labor masses who " turn the wheel of history " were now , for the first time , " awakening from the long , brutalizing sleep to which they had been subjected " .
