    Humans never learn. They have a bloody revolution to overthrow the dictator so they can install another dictator.

    I know he was a very violent revolutionary, but do you have sources for him specifically targeting any of those people/groups? I know he oversaw the execution of a lot of people from the Batista government, but hadn’t heard of any specific targeting based on race, sexual orientation, or jobs.

      I meant the guy is taking shitposting very seriously, I think they decided to follow through in the comments.

      However shitty the takes and the self proclaimed engagement baiting.

      He was a shitty guy. Motorcycle diaries he talks about all of it. Look into his writings the about the Hombre Nuevo. The UMAP camps that came from his actions. Meme also doesn’t say he outwardly targeted based on these factors, just that people in these categories were executed/enslaved as a direct result of his actions.

        The motorcycle diaries were written before any of his revolutionary actions, and pretty sure they didn’t involve murder. The new man was about sacrificing yourself for the revolution and being more interested in being productive for the new communist society, at least from my understanding. So don’t see how any of that was supporting the meme. The labor camps are absolutely fucked up, but I don’t think Che himself specifically wanted any of the people listed to be put in labor camps.

        And it says he murdered those people which implies targeted killing. So misleading at best, and possibly intentionally misleading. He had enough flaws without making up shit.

      “The blacks, those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing, have seen their territory invaded by a new kind of slave: the Portuguese.”

      “The poor man, apart from being a sexual pervert and a bore, had treated us well and given us ten soles each. Probably an invertido”

      “The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity and drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving…”

        Ohh bitch, no …are you on a serious political campaign in a shit posting forum?

        No!..

        Sad day for you bro.

        Did you think everyone was talking about Che Guavara then you came in?

        Did you think he was still an icon?

        Bitch no…

        Why so serious?

        Bitch…

          Everything I post/comment in shitpost is completely genuine, authentic and honest… 😉 I wouldn’t try to engage in bait in any capacity and I definitely don’t have a track record of doing so.

      Symbols are easier than actual people. Nobody is just one thing, and complexity doesn’t travel well. Revolutionaries are either lionized or demonized, and so it becomes easier for the critics to ignore valid points while simultaneously being easier for the supporters to ignore atrocities. Rather than an objective, complete understanding of the man, you get polarized factions that don’t see each other as people.

      It baffles me how this guy became an icon.

      I’m sure the fact that he was really hot had a lot to do with it. The guy was very nice to look at, and that worked very well in the use of widespread visual propaganda.

      Same with Stalin. Did you know young Stalin looked like this?

      Yeah…

        Bro couldnt grow a beard if his life depended on it but i guess you’re correct. Also he fought for communism which is at its base a nice idea. Too bad it has to be forced and always be supervised by central authocratic governments which tend to give no fucks about human rights.

        Would it be discrimination to not kill someone only because they have one of those traits?

      Latin American hangs out with Westerner is the usual path.

      Remember when the CIA funded schools to teach Right Wing Death Squads and they put in a bunch of rightwing dictators in because they’re scared of communism having a turn?

      History is hilarious. The School of the Americas. Life, Liberty, and teaching massacres 101:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere_Institute_for_Security_Cooperation#Criticism

      “The U.S. Army School of the Americas is a school that has run more dictators than any other school in the history of the world.”

    Now picture all those people in MAGA hats still supporting Trump’s police violence campaigns in 2035 when Trump is still in office, and all the jokes are about elections and trying to get letters to places without them being read.

    Viva la Trump!
