What are your thoughts on Ernesto "Che" Guevara?
The man, the myth, the legend? What he symbolizes or represents?
What you know about his real life? What you think about the commercialization of his image?
Anything and everything.
Tell me. Please. |

Wow. Not one single comment yet?????
There's hardly a forum on the internet where at least one person does not have Che as their avatar.
The branding of his image is so mainstream now I think most don't know who, or what he was. They just think it's cool.
Mr. Anti-establishment.
Mr. Anti-authority.
Mr. Rebellion. | |

There used to be a guy with Che as his avatar. I think he ran away when nearly every person on the forum debunked his ideas. He called us facists and ran away to type in his blog.

I posted this on another forum and got some interesting remarks from Che supporters. BBC NEWS | Americas | CIA man recounts Che Guevara's death <-- clicky Quote: |
"Most people don't know the real Che Guevara - the Che Guevara who wrote that he was thirsty for blood, the Che who assassinated thousands of people without any regard for any real legal process."

Che Guevara was evil, I think. I don't believe he REALLY cared about anything, he just seemed to need a cause, something to fight for, something to give him purpose. He was a bastard totalitarian bastard who thirsted for violence, so I can't respect him. It's just a damn shame that thousands of the worlds teenager who want to 'fight the man' think that wearing a Che t-shirt and claiming to follow Marxism means they're a revolutionary...yet they don't rebel against anything.
The mans a prick who has inspired many fools with his prickery.

Che was a liar, a thief, and a murderer. He also oversaw the torture and murder of several prisoners. He was absolutely no better than those he opposed, and in many ways was worse.
He was romanticized by those who really didn't know the reality of what it was he was doing. He died a criminals death, one befitting a person of his character.

Tell me. Please. | He ran death camps in Castro's totalitarian police state, those who support him support the Democide of gays, liberals, and those accused of "anti-revolutionary" acts.
He was a terrorist and a criminal end of story. | |
