I guess you know by now who he was. The reason people wear his face on t-shirts is because that image has become 'iconic' in the same way that Marilyn Monroe's face and Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Can has. He's less a man for most people and more a high-contrast graphic that screen prints well, although I think some young people still think it says 'communism' better than almost anything else and is therefore kind of edgy.

Poor Che. Reduced to a fashion item :(

Ernesto Rafael Guevara de la Serna (14 June 1928 - 9 October 1967) Argentine-born Marxist revolutionary and Cuban guerrilla leader; usually referred to as "Che" Guevara. Though his birth certificate states June 14 as his date of birth some sources declare an earlier date as likely, with May 14t
Like so many epics, the story of the obscure Argentine doctor who abandoned his profession and his native land to pursue the emancipation of the poor of the earth began with a voyage. In 1956, along with Fidel Castro and a handful of others, he had crossed the Caribbean in the rickety yacht Granma on the mad mission of invading Cuba and overthrowing the dictator Fulgencio Batista. Landing in a hostile swamp, losing most of their contingent, the survivors fought their way to the Sierra Maestra. A bit over two years later, after a guerrilla campaign in which Guevara displayed such outrageous bravery and skill that he was named comandante, the insurgents entered Havana and launched what was to become the first and only victorious socialist revolution in the Americas. The images were thereafter invariably gigantic. Che the titan standing up to the Yanquis, the world's dominant power. Che the moral guru proclaiming that a New Man, no ego and all ferocious love for the other, had to be forcibly created out of the ruins of the old one. Che the romantic mysteriously leaving the revolution to continue, sick though he might be with asthma, the struggle against oppression and tyranny.

His execution in Vallegrande at the age of 39 only enhanced Guevara's mythical stature. That Christ-like figure laid out on a bed of death with his uncanny eyes almost about to open; those fearless last words ("Shoot, coward, you're only going to kill a man") that somebody invented or reported; the anonymous burial and the hacked-off hands, as if his killers feared him more after he was dead than when he had been alive: all of it is scalded into the mind and memory of those defiant times. He would resurrect, young people shouted in the late '60s; I can remember fervently proclaiming it in the streets of Santiago, Chile, while similar vows exploded across Latin America. !No lo vamos a olvidar! We won't let him be forgotten

you do no longer understand who Che Guevera is yet you enable your new child walk around wearing a t-blouse together with his face on it? In answer; some call him a progressive, some call him a mass murderer. this is all somewhat political for a new child to be wearing, no?

Guevara, Che (Ernesto Guevara) (chā gāvä´rä, ārnĕs´tō) , 1928—67, Cuban revolutionary and political leader, b. Argentina. Trained as a physician at the Univ. of Buenos Aires, he took part (1952) in riots against the dictator Juan Perón in Argentina, joined agitators in Bolivia, and worked in a leper colony. In 1953 he went to Guatemala, joined the leftist regime of Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán, and when Arbenz was overthrown (1954) fled to Mexico, where he met Fidel Castro and other Cuban rebels. Guevara became Castro's chief lieutenant soon after the rebel invasion of Cuba in 1956, in which he proved to be a resourceful guerrilla leader. As president of the national bank after the fall (Jan., 1959) of Fulgencio Batista he was instrumental in cutting Cuba's traditional ties with the United States and in directing the flow of trade to the Communist bloc. He served (1961—65) as minister of industry. At heart a revolutionary rather than an administrator, he left Cuba in 1965 to foster revolutionary activity in the Congo and other countries. In 1967, directing an ineffective guerrilla movement in Bolivia, he was wounded, captured, and executed by government troops. Guevara wrote Guerrilla Warfare (1961), Man and Socialism in Cuba (1967), Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War (1968), and The African Dream (2001), a forthright account of the failed Congo rebellion.

che was a communist revolutionary from south america
he spent his life tryig to convert south american countrys to communism
people wear shirts with his likeness because they are communists and they support the idea of marxist revolutions in their country
che was responsible for the murders of many thousands of people and like hitler and stalin he was a monster
the wearing of his shirts is a slap in the face to decent freedom loving people everywhere

the answer could be very very different depending on a persons perspective. watch the motorcycle diaries for a slightly romanticized version. what can't be denied is that he was a very courageous person who had strong beliefs and acted on them. that is a large part of the tee shirt thing. ...that and also he was apparently photogenic
