People seem to either hate or love Che Guevara...So was he a Hero that saved his people from suffering and poverty or is he a murderer that executed people who did not share his views on things...

I have no opinion.



But I think people have raped him into some sort of popular culture icon, and that's what pisses me off. I can't count the times I've had this kind of conversation with some preppy girl/guy wearing a Che Guevara shirt:

Me: Hey, that's a cool guy on your shirt.

Them: Yeah, man, he's such an inspiration for me.

Me: How so?

Them: a) Well, duh, dude! He saved (insert any country except Cuba) from the Nazis/capitalists/etc.!
b) Uhhh...I don't know, he just is! I'm so revolutionary, dude!

Pisses the hell out of me. Not again

I respect the guy, he was born into a middle class family, got a medical degree, worked in leper colonies for three years than worked to help poor people! Set your George Michael free
I fucking hate people who are like "Yeah, Che Guevaras super" but don't have a clue about ANYTHING he did! Not again

Wasn't he a terrorist along with Fidel Castro? Overthrowing the government.

Another proof that the difference between terrorists/assassins/freedom fighters is not big

Che Guevara 2 shots of the same man

Compare these 2 shots

The famous one is obviously prettier. I think Cuba is plastered with his picture. The photographer still lives but is poor.

That picture (the t-shirt one) is heavily retouched. I saw the original picture in a book on Castro and it is terrible. He looks like a fat slob drug dealer hippie who never takes a shower.
Personally, I can't stand the cult of that crazy SOB. He helped establish Castro in Cuba and gave us all of our reactionary Cuban Republicans like Senator Mel Martinez  in Florida.
These people have achieved more than they ever could have in their homeland, yet they have absolutely zero respect for our traditions or Constitution. Thanks partially to them, Florida, traditionally a Democratic state, has a Bush brother for governor and possibly the next president.

have you guys seen the movie »motorcycle diaries«? it details che's life before he became a revolutionary, the whole leper helping like HK mentioned, etc. i don't know much when he was in the revolution, but before that he was protrayed to be a good fella.

Che sucks



Che was was a mass murderer. Although he spoke the double-talk of communism he was really a fascist. (where hitler said kill the "Jews" che said kill the "Middle Class") so basically if you have enough money to own a personal computer and post on this blog Che would have wanted to see you dead. here's a quote from him-
"Hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold-blooded killing machine. This is what our soldiers must become."-Che Guevara.
He organized death squads and slave labor camps in communist cuba (where they harshly and especially persecuted Gays and AIDS victims in addition to normal folks)
He was killed in Bolivia in 1967 by the CIA (Three Cheers for the much-maligned CIA! Land of the fee (and taxes) Contaaaact ), leading a guerrilla insurgency that had failed to enlist a single Bolivian peasant.
And now rich preppy white kids where him on 15$$ t-shirts and think they are soo cool.
May the name Che Guevara echo in shame and infamy until the end of time.

I agree except for the "Three Cheers for CIA" part. They are hateful fuckers.

Che was middle class, he said kill the upper class.
