This will sound dumb

But what did Che do that so many people love him, the communist party in Cuba seems to have failed in my eyes, was it he was a revolutionary that succed in a revolution and thats why so many love him, or what is it, He has just become a tool of the capitalists, I see his face on everything now, behind this, on wallets, on shirts, so many web sites dedicated to him, but none to those who tried, such as Mahanko(sp) and the such

Man, Che is a symbol of resistance for latin American to Imperialism.
He is also a symbol of hope for a common man because he never is portrayed in anyother way but that one picture on the shirt. Never a glowing image or no shit like that.

[*REVOLUCIÓN*]

Che has become an ideal,
the symbol for revolucions (of any kind); for the
brave guerillero. I think so many people love him because
he gave somany hope with his theory that a better world is achievable and that he so utterly believed in humanity. Well, that´s why I love him.

[symtoms_of_humanity]

Cool thanks, but he still has also become a capitalist tool, at least here in the US, they put his face on shirts with REVOLUTION on it, and sell them for 20 bucks a piece, and they are in major stores, whats your opionion on that

[OleMarxco]

That is pretty stupid and everyone who wants such a t-shirt, should STEAL it. Muahahahahhah! Then we'd spit in their fuckin' faces! HAH! O'course, that'd just intensify the press on the poor sweat-shop workers in the East to make more, so that's perhaps not such a good idea after-all. But....they are foolish to tempt kids into revolting against their very own profit-machine withouth knowing it, since, like "revolution" on a t-shirt and they get some bright ideas and then..we'll, do they know they are selling counter-capitalistic messages? If so, it might aswell, bring about their doom for aslong as they earn money..well, the capital won't save 'em :P

[lennonist-leninist]

Im shore thay know thay are selling messeges of revolt and overthrow. But what i think is that thay think that a revolution happing in america is just foolish thay think it is just a fad to make money off of. but let them tink what thay want thay can make there t shirts there wallets there posters. But when the time comes we will put a stop to them exploiting a hero.

Make your own Che stuff, or steal it.

I'm going to start work on a Che painting. Red background with his face in black, the famous picture - but i'm doing it myself.

[*REVOLUCIÓN*]

I don´t want to buy all that merchendise stuff.
It´s the opposite of what Che believed in.

I had that idea with the painting aswell. I want to paint
him on my wall maybe, but have to practice first...

i dont believe the cuban government is a failure...i promise you if the united states would just get rid of the embargo...things would be MUCH better for cuba...

as for Che...he did more than just fight for other people...he died for them...he died fighting and thats serious...and keep in mind something...he didnt have to do that shit...he was already a doctor in medicine...he could have had a great career in that shit and still be alive today...but he cared about other people so much that he chose the gun and fought...thats not only honorable but thats practically righteous...

and also remember that hes NOT CUBAN...hes from Argentina...but he fought in Bolivia, Mexico, Africa, Cuba, ect...so he fought for ANYONE being oppressed...if you cant admire a man after all that then you have no heart...

thats why people love him like they do
