Nowadays his image. In the 60's many identified with his struggles as parrelling those in our own country. Fighting for civil rights, for the oppressed of our nation, etc. Kinda sad now isn't it?

Well I think it's relative to the society you're looking at it in. A lot of South Americans truly believe in his ideals and hold him in high regard, whereas many Westerners would see him as a hero of fighting the system, or pick up on some arbitrary quote without fully understanding his ideology or practice. So in some cultures it would be the former, that he was, to them, a great revolutionary, and for some it would be the latter, who fail to see the somewhat ideological contradiction of the mass production of his image on consumerist items..

In North America, The name & the Image I would be seriously shocked if more than ten people in the room have a gint as the Che's political bent, that said many of the South Americans who hold him in their hearts do so because they truly believe Guevara was sincere is wishing to up lift the poor & oppressed...... But in America North the image & name reign..
Peace//////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The guy supported and conducted military executions with NO sort of trials, or evidence.
The guy was a murderer.
but hey, he looks really good on some pretentious, art school dropout's t-shirt.
