You think Che would appreciate the $.99 to pay for something he would have wanted given away freely?

I can't think of anything worse than marketing a socialist revolutionary.

Bad yes, common nowadays also true.Dont we buy books?Yes.Doesnt a site familiar to this one called che-lives sells lots things based on che?Yes. Would he be happy about it?No. But still, sadly thats how capitalism has got its work, and on the other hand, maybe those who made it had to put a price on it, so they wouldnt get bankrupt from trying to make che's words more known.Its not a black white situation so we shouldnt hurry up "burrying" things. And if it is just .99 dolars, then it really makes me think its just a price that help those made it just to cover their expenses, with no profit, its a really small amount really.

Im not supporting "selling out" revolutionarism and changing it to capitalism market, but what i am saying is that things arent always how they look.

It's propaganda to make you think apple is counter-establishment. It's an iphone app after all. I don't think you can compare a book that anyone can buy to an iphone app that only assholes who have 400 dollars to drop on a phone can get.

That's because Apple is all hip, young and rebellious. Oooohh soooo anti-establishment :wub:. Also, this wouldn't be new to us. That photo of Che pisses me off so much when it's stamped on every fucking item imaginable. Tattoos, flags and banners, shirts, hats and whatnot. His image became part of the consumer culture he hated.

I don't really care. If this gets the word out about anti-capitalism, anti-fa, etc..., it's a whole lot better than whatever little it is we have going for us right now.

I suppose if Mussolini had one of these, Che would eventually get one too. :blink:
