As an American, is there any reason to advocate Ernesto Che Guevara?

"If the nuclear missiles had remained in Cuba, we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S. including New York City."

Are you Che lovers so wrapped up in the idea of revolutionaries that you would support anybody? Why not Stalin? Or Mao? Those thugs also killed citizens for power and fear. If Che really cared about his citizens, he would not have used Inquisition-style techniques to find people against the revolution.

Update:

Yes AE good point.

Update 2:

Hitler did some good things too for his society. He killed 11 million innocent people! Che killed 14,000, which is high compared to the pop. of Cuba. A real people person. And look at Cuba now--it's essentially a third-world country. Whatever little good he did, it never made a damn difference.

"...there are some lies that lodge so deep in the hopes of man that they can never be killed no matter how many are executed to make the lie true." Gerard Vanderleun

Update 3:

"Hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold-blooded killing machine. This is what our soldiers must become ." Also a quote from El Che

Update 4:

Che did not own slaves, but he OWNED LABOR CAMPS and burned gays and other unwanted peoples.

    Only really stupid people or commie rats worship him. Most kids with those t-shirts wouldn't know him if you asked what he did.

    Sure there is ... Che’s “CRIMES” were:

    ~ Overthrowing a brutal U$ backed dictator allied with the Mafia (Batista)

    ~ Stopping American companies from owning 70 % of the arable land in Cuba

    ~ Teaching peasants to read, by bringing the Cuban literacy rate from 60 to 97 %

    ~ Having the 200 or so War Criminals who killed 20,000 Cubans for Batista shot against a wall

    ~ Speaking out against South African Apartheid to the UN in 1964

    ~ Fighting white mercenaries in the African Congo with an all black army

    ~ Speaking out against U$ and eventually USSR Imperialism while demanding that the poor of the world be allowed to live a life of dignity

    ... It just kills ditto-head Conservative Beck-trolls that such a heroic man will not go away. That is because these troglodytes cant fathom that he lives in the hearts of the hungry and the oppressed and that ideas never die.

    My favorite is when rock stars and their audience sport Che T-shirts at concerts without knowing that if Che were in charge, not only would the concert be cancelled but the singers would be executed and the audience arrested.

    As a South American?

    How about a Central American?

    Why does dead ol' Che's figure sell more tee shirts than wild man glenbec? Does this make glenbec jealous of a long-dead Che? Could it be that glenbec has conflated fashionistas with political activism?

    How many political activists are known for their clothes sense?

    They don't look up to him for his ideals or for who he was or what he did, they worship him because he looks good on tee shirts.
