Che Guevera?
January 3, 2016 at 4:29 pm
What do people think of this man?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_Guevara

I know he has fans who sport t-shirts of him.

But he is controversial as well. He seems to have killed a lot of innocent people and like Lenin had sort of an "ends justify the means" attitude about him.

Though he sure jabbered about the poor a lot, how much did he really help them? Did he open a soup kitchen for the poor, or set up a "Good Will" type store of used clothes for them to buy at a discounted price?

Though he talked to a lot of poor folk in his "motorcycle diaries" he never tried to help them be at peace with their lot or be content with it. If anything he seemed to incite greed and unhappiness in these poor people, made all the poorer by contact with him.

Also, if he was such a good person, why didn't he condemn communism and recognize the evil things it had done, and continues to do in places like Cuba and North Korea.

Thoughts please!!

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

If the t-shirts weren't so damn cool, I'd just say "screw him".
