First off, this website.
Che, inspired many things today, such as the EZLN as an example, many ppl there see Che (and Zapata) as great heroes. Che has also inspired much of our youth today (myself included). Che will continue to inspire many revolutions and revolutionaries, when we see Che's face we see Revolution, When we think of Revolution, we think of Che.
Hope that answered your questiong a bit

"when we see Che's face we see Revolution" TRUE
But, not just an armed revolution, but a whole cultural, political and social revolution.
Che is an icon, a symbol, the image of a whole socail change meaning.
To me, it means far more than a revolution, it means an achievable possibility of changing the world.
Guevara is a glimmer of hope for those that have none. A true revolutionary.
He was intelligent and cultured.
He read things before he burned them and he GAVE UP THE POSSIBILITY OF A WEALTHY AND COMFORTABLE LIFE for the cause of social and political justice.
i think learning about him changed my life..he was very smart and reached many highs in his life, but would give it up to help others.
He actually used all his strenghts to the most, and was on and endless quest for knowledge which he's always use. It made me push myself more to improve myself in every sense.
i don't think he did anything that wasn't to benfit others, except eat and sleep. He showed the world that if you give it your all, you can make a difference.
One last thing that people i think hope will happened to themselfs as it has happened to che, when Che died his fight wasn't over it still continued. I think it gives people who fight for justice hope, that even when they are no more, their work will continue.

Che's writings and speeches have influenced me. I have a poster of his with the quote that stirs me the most. "Let me say, at the risk of seeming ridiculous, that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love." That sums up Che and Socialism in my mind.
Also; some people think that che is a fashion.
No matter whether it's a fashion, RATM, T-shirt, etc..., the point is some ppl, (mostly young ppl) get to approach him by these means and thus become aware of who he was and what he did...and furthermore, what he left behind, that's actually what makes him so much alive until today.
Che was good. He was a good person, and a modest person. He never gloated. He has the traits of the only true revolutionary. He has been imortalized. He is a flicker of hope for revolutionaries. He has made the world a better place.

Che has totally influenced us. 8 years ago (I was 13) I was a total different person. I didn't know anything about politics and I was a yankee lover! 5 years ago I got a book on Che from my brother (who didn't care to read it) and now I'm 21 and a total different person. Che changed all my views in life, literally. Cause one thing follows the other, and now even my taste in films and music is different.
He's my hero, and as corny as it sounds, Che will really live forever in us all. Cause he's changed the history and so many people's lifes.

Formerly "tetelives".
Jean Paul Sarte was right in saying that El Che was the "most complete human being of our age." He believed that the crux of the problem was "the people's hunger" and the imperialism that caused it. Che embraced death fearlessly every moment of his life. It was by this embrace that he was able to fully live. He is the single biggest positive influence in my life--- and inspires revolution in my thinking and my actions. El Comandante vive hoy, manana, y siempre!
