Can anyone explain to me why Che is idolized so much? He was a fucking executioner. What greatness did he achieve? What aspect of life did he improve for his people? Why is he practically worshiped as a god by leftists?
Is it just because he looked really pissed off in that famous photo of him? Could it really be THAT shallow? Wearing him on a T-shirt is no different than wearing a T with that photo from Vietnam where that gook is being shot in the head at the moment the photo was taken. That's what Che was into, shooting people in the head. Except he ALWAYS shot them in the BACK OF THE HEAD. He was too much a coward to look them in the eye as he squeezed the trigger. If you're going to do shit like this, at least be brave and stoic about it.
Edit: He also went out like a BITCH. Captured, abused, and then executed in a manner similar to how he executed so many. Justice.
Edit 2: I shouldn't have used that Vietnam photo as an example, because it was a justified execution of a filthy VC shitbag. The photo was used as anti-war propaganda, destroying the innocent executioner's life. "Photographer said he had a lot of sympathy for the shooter and wished he had never published the picture. He felt so bad for Loan that he apologized for having taken the photo at all, admitting, 'The general killed the Vietcong; I killed the general with my camera.'"
he fought against us corporate exploitation of southern american countries, and the cia, who killed him and made him a martyr.
he increased funding to education and agriculture when in power to feed and educate the impoverished. this is why the left likes him. he also left behind lots of guides and other literature useful to his/their cause.
they ignore his flaws because they figure he was against the us deep state so, all gloves are off, do what it takes. other flaws are just 'different culture' much like they give arabs a pass for subjugating women and gays.
i guess they just figure they will change their minds on those subjects over time.
That's right- I had forgotten that the prisoner being executed in that photo was not innocent and the executioner was basically a victim of the out-of-control US media at the time. Will edit, thanks for correction!

Being a leftist is about secretly imagining yourself as the executor of everyone who disagrees with you.

Then Che is our guy? He hated niggers and fags, while fighting the deep state. This timeline is getting confusing.

He rebelled against a largely evil and oppressive power structure.
The mistake people make is assuming anyone who fights against something bad must implicitly be good.
