What is your opinion on...???

Question

I am just curious to know what people (people who are familiar with) think of Che Guevara. If you know nothing about who he is or what he did please don't answer! thanks in advance!

Answer 1

He was a murderous thug. Most of the people wearing t-shirts with his name and pic on them don't know enough to answer your question.

Answer 2

Che Guevara not only ordered the executions of thousands of innocent people...but he actually advocated it, saying that it was necessary for innocent people to die in order to forward the revolution. This BS about him being a great leader is a joke. The only thing he ever led anyone to was their own death!

It amazes me that so many people who wear t-shirts with this murderous thug's picture on it will also criticize the Bush administration for being in Iraq. What a contradiction!

In the end, Guevara has become nothing more than a fashion statement.
There are pros and cons to this: The pro is that if he's know only as a picture on a t-shirt, nobody will want to emulate him.
The con is that if people forget what a heartless, bloodthirsty murderer he was, they might make the mistake of following someone like him.

My mother always taught me to speak good of the dead.
Che Guevara is dead...GOOD!

Answer 3

Thug. Thug, and I'm glad no longer around to spread communist thuggery around latin america, and his buddy Fidel will him join soon. When I see younger kids wearing his t-shirt it makes me digusted because growing up I saw the last days of the USSR people were waiting for hours for bread, or a whole day to buy fuel. Under communism in East Germany you were shot trying to across to Western Germarny and it was great moment in 1989 to see Berlin wall fall. Now you have younger generation that does not understand or seen the damage communism did to Eastern Europe. People like Che go live in Fidels Cuba and see if you can get engouh to eat.

Answer 4

Ernesto Guevara de la Serna (June 14,[1] 1928 – October 9, 1967), commonly known as Che Guevara, El Che or just Che was an Argentine-born Marxist revolutionary, political figure, and leader of Cuban and internationalist guerrillas.

As a young man studying medicine, Guevara traveled roughrough[›] throughout South America, bringing him into direct contact with the impoverished conditions in which many people lived. His experiences and observations during these trips led him to the conclusion that the region's socio-economic inequalities could only be remedied by revolution, prompting him to intensify his study of Marxism and travel to Guatemala to learn about the reforms being implemented there by President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán.

While in Mexico in 1956, Guevara joined Fidel Castro's revolutionary 26th of July Movement, which seized power from the regime of the dictator[2] General Fulgencio Batista in Cuba in 1959. In the months after the success of the revolution, Guevara was assigned the role of "supreme prosecutor", overseeing the trials and executions of hundreds of suspected war criminals from the previous regime.[3] After serving in various important posts in the new government and writing a number of articles and books on the theory and practice of guerrilla warfare, Guevara left Cuba in 1965 with the intention of fomenting revolutions first in Congo-Kinshasa, and then in Bolivia, where he was captured in a military operation supported by the CIA and the U.S. Army Special Forces.[4] Guevara was summarily executed by the Bolivian Army in the town of La Higuera near Vallegrande on October 9, 1967.[5]

After his death, Guevara became an icon of socialist revolutionary movements and a key figure of modern pop culture worldwide. An Alberto Korda photo of him (shown) has received wide distribution and modification, appearing on t-shirts, protest banners, and in many other formats. The Maryland Institute College of Art called this picture "the most famous photograph in the world and a symbol of the 20th century."[6]

Answer 5

He was a self-centered tyrant who cared nothing about the people he set himself up as a 'father' figure for.

Exactly the kind of person the passive-aggressive libs love to live vicariously through. Spineless people always gravitate toward those who exhibit strength regardless of the outcome or, extend of horror. They heed idealism and disregard reality altogether.

Answer 6

A socialist guerilla and the best known salesman of t-shirts to ignorant suburban white kids who have no clue. He was also appointed as "supreme prosecutor" who oversaw hundreds of executions of those deemed criminals of the Batista regime after it's overthrow by Castro. Just an overhyped marxist who happened to have a good photo taken once.

Answer 7

I think that Che Guevara was a great leader and an extremely brave man. Whether he worked towards good causes is questionable, but whether he's a 'good guy' or 'bad guy', he was still an extremely influential leader and changed the lives of many people.

p.s. SHervin- that's a biography copied and pasted, not a personal opinion... !?

Answer 8

I don't know much about him. Well, every person thinks in a different way. Some people say that he is a brave political figure. Some say he's just a man whose looking for fame in a different way. But, I think he's just a man doing his job, and suddenly got famous. I hope this information is what you were looking for.

Answer 9

He was a thug who never was successful at anything he tried. The truth should come out about him and all these t-shirts burned.

Answer 10

I think his idealism and goals were admirable, he is a symbol of resistance and I admire this more than anything. He reminds us that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Without all the spin, he was a complex man full of hope for a change that he was unable to implement and this failure no doubt, was crushing.
