The real Che Guevara

I agree. I have to wonder if it would be appropriate to extend the Godwin rule to cover this guy as well.

More people wear Guevara t-shirts than Hitler t-shirts, that's why.
 
Sandokan, that’s me; Kaligulax , looks he borrow from my post. Do you have a problem with that?

For types like Sean Penn the end justifies the means. They will lie, stuff ballot boxes, steal, turn the truth into lies, permit all that is wrong in society to grow while condemning all that is right; all to further their own agenda, a new world order with their elitists in charge.

How is possible that this murderous monster became a pop cult icon. From any angle that you look at it, he is not a hero figure. Selling T-shirt with his image to clueless youth under the veil of being a "social rebel", when there are real heroes to emulate and honor. What an irony that Che is now used to sell T-shirts to make money for the capitalist shirt makers.

Welcome to the free market.

Who are the REAL heroes Sandokan?

Chanel in Cuba or Che-nel or Cha-cha-cha- nel in Cuba…
If Che raise his head, will freak out, or better, hallucinates with the current madness of the old men in Cuba, “The Castros,” and several generations of CUBA-NOS, or “new men” of that island, pointed to the infernal and wonderful delirium of the "frivolité" capitalist.

Amazed with the banal foam of actors, actresses, models of "Che-nel," or Chanel, dancing Cha-cha-nel in Havana, for the wonderful avenue del Prado or Paseo Martí, which is our Rambla, so my Catalans friends understand me; Beyoncé, Rolling Stones, Vanessa Paradis, Van Diesel, Rihanna (who showed her ass and all), Paris Hilton, Karl Lagerfeld, and Obama, who paraded a little earlier than Chanel. Among other magicians and other circus performers ...
New poster boy Che, a pretty drag queen, battle cry in favor of imperialism, “Hasta la Victoria Secret”, meaning capitalism forever. Che Guevara has become the “Great Salesman of Capitalism.” Che paraphernalia is everywhere. C'est très disgusting.
 
Happy Birthday Ernest 'Che' Guevara!

Karl Lagerfeld’s latest collection goes on display in Chanel’s first Latin American catwalk show

Agence France Presse
Wednesday 4 May 2016

International celebrities and Cuban bigwigs have graced the red carpet in Havana as the French fashion house Chanel staged its first Latin American catwalk show.

Karl Lagerfeld’s latest collection was infused with the styles and colours of the Caribbean island.

Cubans without an invitation to the exclusive event packed the balconies of old Havana or lined the police cordon outside, straining to catch a glimpse.

“What a sight. But I would have liked to be closer to the models,” said 52-year-old Mireya Correoso, who said she had never seen so much luxury and showbiz in one place.

It was the latest in a stream of international cultural events on the communist island as it opens up its diplomatic and commercial relations.

Tony Castro, son of Antonio Castro, grandson of Fidel Castro

Yep. Damn right. This is no joke. One of Fidel’s grandsons is embarking on a career as fashion model.

He’s slated to model for Chanel.

Tony Castro, age 19, son of Antonio Castro, has been posing for photographers for a while, and like all narcissists, he also loves selfies.

Long live the Revolution! Si, coño, this is what Marxism-Leninism is all about.

You need proof of the ultimate hypocrisy of the so-called Revolution, and of its evil nature and its utter failure? Look no further than this.

The privileged children of the oligarchy do whatever they want, just like the children of any royal or noble family.

As George Orwell put it in Animal Farm, “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

Fidel Castro is the biggest scam artist on the face of the earth. Tragically, he will go down as a principled Marxist because his supporters in the MSM and academia still spread that lie, but any Cuban with “dos dedos de frente” [with two brain cells] knows that Castro has no principles. His “revolution” was always about himself, about removing others to replace them with himself, about creating a grand latifundio [serfdom] with him as the sole feudal lord.

So much for the garbage talk about the old aristocracy and bourgeoisie that he repressed, imprisoned, impoverished and exiled. Remember, they were supposed to be the privileged few! As Asombra would say, Lord the nausea. I actually feel that I’m going to puke.

By the way, the irony is back in the sixties any Cuban who had hair like Castro’s privileged grandson would have been thrown in an UMAP (Military Units to Aid Production).
Tony Castro, Che’s concept of the “new man”?, reportedly wants to start a modeling career and has taken luxurious trips to Paris, Greece, Turkey and other countries payed by the fortune the royal family has amassed through the exploitation of the Cuban people.

Can his reputation survive the publication of his own words?

In December 1953, he wrote to his aunt from San José, Costa Rica, “I have sworn before a picture of our old, much lamented comrade Stalin that I will not rest until I see these capitalist octopuses annihilated.” [1, p. 62]Another letter to the same aunt was signed with the words "Stalin II." [2, p. 167] More important was the fact that when Guevara visited the USSR in his capacity as one of the most important leaders of the victorious Cuban revolution in November of 1960, he insisted on depositing a floral tribute at Stalin's tomb[1, p. 181]. It is important to remember that this was more than four years after Khrushchev's revelations of Stalin's crimes.

This from Che Guevara's Guevara journal of his travels through Latin America: “I now feel my dilated nostrils, savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood, of enemy death; I now tense my body, ready for the struggle, and I prepare my being as a sacred place so that in it resounds with new vibrations and new hopes the bestial howl of the triumphant proletariat.” The Motorcycle Diaries omitted this inconvenient portion of Che's diaries form the film.

A phrase in a letter to his wife on January 28, 1957, not long after disembarking in Cuba, which was published in her book Ernesto: A Memoir of Che Guevara in Sierra Maestra: “Here in the Cuban jungle, alive and bloodthirsty.” It is hardly a surprise that during the armed struggle against Batista, and then after the triumphant entry into Havana, Guevara murdered or oversaw the executions in summary trials of scores of people.

Che Guevara is like Donald Trump in that nothing he did, nothing he wrote, nothing witnesses saw him doing will deter the faithful from worshiping the bastard. That goes for Stalin, Castro, Mao, Pol Pot, and the rest. On one May Day here in Mexico a man challenged a group with a huge poster of Stalin for supporting a mass murderer. "Oh, that's just capitalist propaganda. He was a wonderful leader for the people." So, what do you do with idiots?

Sales look bright for Che-Mart. If you buy a Che shirt what are you endorsing? Capitalism. The wearing Che T-shirts and plastering his face on every piece of merchandise imaginable is a tacit acknowledgement of capitalism.

Rolex, the leading name in luxury wrist watches, has been the ultimate symbol of capitalism and bourgeoisie enterprise. “Communism for the masses and capitalism for the bosses.” Are you one of those that have romantic feelings about Che and Fidel? If the hat fits wear it.

When young he earned the label of “el chancho” (the pig), since he seldom bathed.

Che earned the label of “el chancho” (the pig), since he seldom bathed. From El Cuzco, Peru, he wrote to his mother that during the eight days he spend there “El Chancho bathed once and by mutual agreement, for health purposes only.” In his Bolivia diary in 1967, wrote: I forgot to emphasize a fact, today, after just over six months, I shower. It is a record that many are already reaching." Because of his lack of personal hygiene the Cubans nicknamed him “ball of filth.”

Wal-Mart Removes Confederate Flag to Avoid Offending Shoppers. But Che Guevara’s Anti-US Propoganda Remains on Shelves
Walmart Removes Confederate Flag to Avoid Offending Shoppers. But Che Guevara?s Anti-US Propoganda Remains on Shelves. | TheBlaze.com

Humberto Fontova
Jun. 23, 2015

This morning Wal-Mart announced they were yanking all items bearing the Confederate flag from their shelves.

“We never want to offend anyone with the products that we offer,” stressed Wal-Mart spokesman Brian Nick. “We have taken steps to remove all items promoting the confederate flag from our assortment — whether in our stores or on our web site.”

Wal-Mart’s decision, like Gov. Nikki Haley’s to remove the Confederate flag from her State’s capitol, was obviously provoked by the recent Charleston “hate crime.”

Over at Gateway Pundit its ever-vigilant founder Kristinn Taylor points out that Wal-Mart sells seventeen different posters and prints glorifying Che Guevara.

So in case any Wal-Mart officials are perusing TheBlaze today here’s a few items to consider regarding the selling or promotion of “hate” or “offensive” merchandise:

*“Hatred is the central element of our struggle!” raved Che Guevara in a famous declaration in 1966 to a gathering in Havana of virtually every terrorist group on earth. “Hatred that is intransigent…Hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him violent and cold- blooded killing machine….We reject any peaceful approach. Violence is inevitable. To establish socialism rivers of blood must flow.”

Excerpt from an interview of radio host Luis Pons by Fontova: “During a 1959 press conference Luis Pons, a prominent Cuban black, asked Che Guevara, what the revolution planed on doing to help blacks. Che answered: “We’re going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing.” As we can see from his behavior, he was a racist person through and through all his life.

Would Walmart, Sears and the other larger retail stores be willing to remove “all items” of Che paraphernalia based on his statements?
 
In death, Che is a capitalist icon. He is to t-shirts what that kitten hanging from a clothes line was to motivational posters. Those who buy a Che shirt what are you endorsing? Capitalism, one of the many things Che was fighting against. By plastering his face on every piece of merchandise imaginable you have completely gone against his communist beliefs.
 
When you buy Che products, you are partaking in a capitalist system that Che did not support. Furthermore, you are helping someone get rich by selling socialism. Now that is ironic. Wearing Che T-shirts is a tacit acknowledgement of capitalism's triumph over socialism.

Guevara’s elevation as symbol of goodness, due to the self-indulgence and frivolity of pampered Western pseudo revolutionaries, speaks clearly of their lack of critical objective analysis.
 
Che, the radical left symbol, was a homophobe. He played a principal role in setting up Cuba's first labor camp in the Guanahacabibes region in western Cuba in 1960-1961. This camp was the precursor to the eventual systematic confinement, starting in 1965 in the province of Camagüey, of dissidents, homosexuals, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Afro-Cuban priests, and "other such scum" according to the regime, under the banner of UMAP, Military Units to Help Production.

Pope Francis’s address to Congress will prove a concluding flourish to the descent of the Catholic Church into an accessory for modern man’s temptation toward totalitarianism.

We must struggle every day so that this love of humanity becomes a reality. — Che Guevara

I am writing this on the eve of Pope Francis’ address to the joint session of Congress. Permit me a confession of distaste for tomorrow’s extravaganza and disinterest in the details of a media-conscious homily to the nation.

In large measure, Thursday’s propaganda event will prove a concluding flourish to what this pope is on course to achieve: the descent of the Catholic Church into one more geopolitical “ism,” a pious-seeming companion to every other materialist -ism that tempts modern man away from freedom and toward submission to totalitarian order. Since ascending to the papacy, Francis’ actions have served a mongrel papo-caesarism that drains Christianity of its soul. Christian idiom degrades into the carrier of a secular agenda....

Pope Francis’s Malice

Something in me gave way at the sight of an exultant image of Che Guevara overseeing the altar in Plaza de la Revolución, the approved site of the recent papal Mass in Havana. A sadistic, murderous thug looked down on attendees in an obscene burlesque of Christ Pantocrator. Under the gaze of a butcher and amid symbols of the regime, Jorge Bergolio joined his fellow Argentine in service to the calamitous Cuban revolution. The entire spectacle played like a farcical inversion of John Paul II’s presence in Warsaw’s Victory Square, in 1979, and in stark contrast to the message he brought to Cuba in 1998. https://www.aei.org/publication/in-havana-pope-francis-is-no-john-paul-ii/

This is great article and at the same time perturbing. There are many discrepancies in Pope Francis words. He did not criticized the Castroit regime, rather he celebrated Mass in the Plaza Cívica (de la Revolución) with the image of Che Guevara looking down at him.

Excerpts from "Che Guevara: The Fish Die by the Mouth” (Cuba: Che Guevara: The Fish Die by the Mouth)

"Those who attempt to present Che as a philanthropist of firm Christian values, the answer is given to them in this excerpt of the letter he wrote to his mother on July 15, 1956 from a Mexican prison: “I am not Christ nor a philanthropist, I'm quite the opposite of Christ, and philanthropy seems to me something of....(illegible word), I fight for the things I believe in with all the weapons at my disposal, and try to leave the other dead to avoid myself to be nailed to a cross or anything else.”

Che wrote in his diary: “….to executes a human being is something ugly, but exemplary. From now on nobody here will refer to me again as the tooth-drawer of the guerrilla.” In a letter to his father referring to this execution he writes: "I'd like to confess, papa, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing."

In “Notas de Viaje” he wrote the following comment that he called “Notas en el Margen”: “…and I know, because I see it printed in the night, that I, the eclectic dissector of doctrines and psychoanalyst of dogmas, howling like possessed, will assault the barricades or trenches, will stain in blood my weapon and, mad of fury, will slit the throats of any defeated who fall into my hands… And I feel my nostrils dilated, savoring the acrid smell of gunpowder and blood, of dead enemy; now I tense my body, ready for the fight, and I prepare my being as a sacred place so that it resurrects with new vibrations and new hopes the bestial howling of the triumphant proletariat."

This photo of Pope Francis celebrating Mass with the image of Che looking upon him, desecrates the memory of young Cuban Catholic martyrs who were shot by Che firing squads and died shouting “Viva Cristo Rey!” (Long live Christ the King!)
 
When Fidel Castro took over Cuba in 1959, more than 1,000 men, teenagers and women , many of them Catholic, were executed by firing squads, and they died shouting “Long live Christ the King!”, a demonstration of their spiritual and moral integrity. Soon afterwards many priests and nuns were expelled from the island, and Fidel acknowledged to be a Marxist-Leninist and declared Cuba an atheist state. His government actively suppressed religion in the island for decades.

There is a big difference between Pope Francis statement to the Cuban people in 2015 and Pope John Paul II message delivered to them in 1998.
 
The Pope supposedly have great concern for the poor. Why then, he condemn the Capitalist system that had persistently raised the living standards of the poor? After all the Communist system, except for the nomenclature, had impoverished all the people and crumbled from within.
