Is it wrong to wear Che shirt ? I mean if you know who he was and so on. Not just like " "Hey, this one looks nice so iŽll wear it."
Sorry my bad english.

Ummmm yes/no/yes/no/yes/no....yes?
This is a conflicting issue for us, many socialists feel that buying a Che Guevara shirt is hypocritical (and you become another groupie ;) ), others feel we should broadcast our revolutionary feelings through the clothes we wear - there's an excellent article up on Che-Lives on this, that should give you an answer.

God.
If you buy a che-shirt or go to starbucks or mcdonalds or the gap you're participating in consumer culture and you're pathetic...
but!
If you make it a point that you reject starbucks and mcdonalds and the gap and che-t-shirts you're participating in lifestylism and you're even more pathetic!!
There is basically no winning.

It has been said time and time again. Make your own Che Guevara shirt. :che:

Yes, it's a fucking problem. What do you think Che would have thought if he saw a person with a "Che T-shirt"? It's dishonoring Che.

I think I would much rather wear a shirt of Che or of the CCCP made in a sweatshop than a regular shirt made in a sweatshop. What about you?

It is nearly impossible to live a communist lifestyle in a capitalist world. That said I might go out and buy a che shirt, but then people might think that you are wearing it to be "cool". I don't own a che shirt, but I do own a CCCP shirt as propaganda.

I don't see any conflict in it either. Hell, I know a comrade who has Che socks, I don't mind that(although I wouldn't wear them personally :lol: ).

I often hear people saying: "What would Che think if he saw you wearing that shirt?!"
For fucks sake, Che is fucking dead.
Who gives a fuck about what Che would think?
Stop treating him as some kind of God or Prophet.
He was a man - a great man, granted.
As long as you yourself are not wearing his face on a piece of clothing as a fashion statement, I have no problem in it.

I've got a pair of Che socks, haven't got a Che t-shirt yet though. :(

Now that is the best answer I have seen regarding this topic.
