""To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary...These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We must create the pedagogy of the The Wall! (El Paredón)" --Ernesto 'Che' Guevara" Two good che pics:">one...two... http://www.therealcuba.com/MurderedbyChe.htm

Anybody that reveres Che is just a secret fag. End of fucking story.

DH is right. But what is never talked about is how pathetic Che was as a guerilla fighter and commander. He knew practically nothing of warfare. And ultimately he wasn't even smart enough to realize that Castro would betray him. A fucking Argentine. He was vain and stupid--and so deservedly the icon of the hipster set. My father actually knew this fuckhead.

He may be a butcher, murderer and assassin, but he looks so bad ass. His face shall and forever will be a symbol of Revolution, regardless of his murderous past, thanks to mass media and pop culture.

Che began as an idealist medical student, turned into a butcher of humans, and ended with an inglorious and pathetic death. His legacy continues to evoke romantic ideals though. He's pretty much a perfect metaphor for Communism.

Vanessa, Che ordered & participated in execution of 156 prisoners in La Cabaña Fortress in 1958. His youngest victim was a boy of 14. He might have started with noble intentions, but became far worse then those he fought against.

Che led a rebellion, fought a war, and in the process killed people. I don't agree with his methods (I much prefer Gandhi) but calling him an assassin is the same as calling the soldiers in US military assassins.

"any purpose that denigrates the reputation of Che." Che Guevara was an assassin. His reputation deserves nothing but denigration.
