“LET ME SAY, AT THE RISK OF SEEMING RIDICULOUS, THAT THE TRUE REVOLUTIONARY IS GUIDED BY GREAT FEELINGS OF LOVE" - Ernesto 'Ché' Guevara
I've been reading Ché's autobiography and frankly, I feel completely indifferent about the icon of the man. Probably because I only fight for peaceful revolutions while weaponless. If you lived in a country where social injustices were so incredibly outrageous, would you not accept and fight, accept it and flee, or accept it and remain where you are?

Hey!
Accept it and flee...a bit like my Life...if things are not right...and I'm not happy...I'm fleeing.

"As one of Castro’s top lieutenants, Che helped steer Cuba’s revolutionary regime in a radically repressive direction. Soon after overthrowing Batista, Guevara choreographed the executions of hundreds of Batista officials without any fair trials. He thought nothing of summarily executing even fellow guerrillas suspected of disloyalty and shot one himself with no due process.
Che was a purist political fanatic who saw everything in stark black and white. Therefore he vociferously opposed freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly, protest, or any other rights not completely consistent with his North Korean-style communism. How many rock music-loving teens sporting Guevara t-shirts today know their hero supported Cuba’s 1960s’ repression of the genre? How many homosexual fans know he had gays jailed and hated black people?"

And you revere this demon? You draw pictures in worship of him?
