The Anti-Che

Are you sick of seeing all of those kids with Che shirts on?

If you don't know who Ernesto "Che" Guevara is, look it up. He was Castro's mass murdering lapdog thug. He ran Castro's prison full of dissidents and labor camps. He presided over the execution squads with ruthless efficiency and dedication.

Che has now become the t-shirt of choice for the young and uninformed who probably don't even know who or what he was.

Who are the ignorance infested kids wearing Che shirts?
I'd venture to guess they are mostly teens, that has been my experience anyway, and if they were challenged they probably couldn't even find Cuba on a map. They should also sue the government for their lack of education.

If they should actually do a modicum of research they would find out that Che was a real person. He was instrumental in the success of the Cuban revolution and that he despised capitalism.

So it strikes me as an ultimate irony that his image sells millions of shirts and that probably 98% of the people who wear them don't realize that he would probably hate them for being American.

He was a pure communist and the greatest poster child for why communism fails every single time. He hated personal freedoms and was dedicated to the state. There was no concept of the individual in his world and no mercy for anyone who viewed the world differently than he did.

He and his policies were also failures on a massive scale.

As loved as he is by the delusional youth of today he was equally despised by the people he lorded over, starved, and killed.

It probably won't be long before Mao, Pol Pot, Abu Musab al-Zarqawai, Ayatollah Khomeini , or even Osama become the next huge shirt seller.

They are the same person my friends.
