If you know somebody who wears a Che(he's still dead, y'know) shirt

or thinks he was a 'hero of the peoples', ask the dumb bastard if they've ever actually read anything about the slime.
In a famous speech in 1961, Che Guevara denounced the very “spirit of rebellion” as “reprehensible.” “Youth must refrain from ungrateful questioning of governmental mandates” commanded Guevara. “Instead they must dedicate themselves to study, work and military service.”

And woe to those youths “who stayed up late at night and thus reported to work (government forced-labor) tardily.” Youth, wrote Guevara, “should learn to think and act as a mass.” Those who “chose their own path” (as in growing long hair and listening to Yankee-Imperialist Rock & Roll) were denounced as worthless “lumpen” and “delinquents.” In his famous speech Che Guevara even vowed, “to make individualism disappear from Cuba! It is criminal to think of individuals!” he raved
.
I'd read about this miserable little pustule on the anus of mankind before; it's always been just amazing to me how people who claim to be for individual liberty and free speech could in any way admire the murdering little shit. That people like Depp, who've become rich pretty much by being the kind of character Che would have locked in a camp- or murdered- can talk about how wonderful he was has to be taken as a sign of abject stupidity.

Of course, in the 'arts' community, there seems to be an awful lot of that going 'round. And in the teaching world, too(these being those teachers who should be removed from the classrooms and sent to Cuba so they can enjoy the society they keep preaching is so wonderful).
