Don't they know he would roll over in his grave if he saw how he is being marketed. Socialist turned into capital. Kind of amusing I guess, but he really wasn't a very nice fellow from what I have read.

God bless the Bolivian Special Forces or '67 and the CIA....And how many visitors do you think Hitler's body would recieve each year? And why not throw in a quote from Sartre while you are at it; sure means a lot now.

Because they think it'll look cool make them look like they're militant as they listen to Rage and smoke too much dope.
Socialism by definition is totalitarianism. By controlling one commodity you bar the populace from entering into the same market and to enact socialism you must take over by force the already existing business.
Che wanted the US wiped out. He was a mass murderer who tortured and killed many ever hear of La Cabana prison?
Socialism plays well into the mindset of people with low end jobs because they blame the "machine" for putting them there when capitalism stresses your situation is your own doing.
Che's conversion into pop icon and fashion statement is simply capitalism having the last laugh.

Because they are rebellious teenagers and even adults, who want a better government instead of the corporate, bureaucratic, and narcissistic one they see. Guevara was a revolutionary and carried that same rebelliousness in him. They don't think about the corporate marketing behind the t-shirts but the image and symbol of Guevara himself and he would be happy to know there are people out there who actually knew who he was and what he gave his life for.

They wear it because it looks cool. The long hair, the beard, the beret, done in a silhouette. That's all.

It cracks me up to see people against immigrants wearing Che's picture.
He is a Cuban revolutionary hero. I am sure he'd die all over again kicking the US out of Guantanamo

All true, but he was a revolutionary, and a lot of people want to identify with that aspect of his persona.

They know that life in a re-education camp is alot of fun. It is their way of showing that they support dictators.

They don't understand politics enough. If they wanted a real bad *** they should have picked Stalin or Hitler.
