If Motorcycle Diaries is described as a mix between Das Kapital and Easy Rider, then I think we can expect to read about a trip of rebels moving across the continent in order to change the people and the way they think. Das Kapital was about Marxism and socialism which is essentially Communism while Easy Rider was about a bunch of fun-loving hippies traveling across the country in search of a good time. So, a conclusion about Motorcycle Diaries that could be made from the merger of these two sources would be that the main characters (including Che) will be traveling in search of themselves, fun, but also to make people conform to their beliefs.
