Che Guevara: The T-Shirt Icon of Terrorists?

<p>Che himself wasn’t a “horrible Communist.” He really had strong intentions for his view of government IF you actually read his diaries/journals. You have to realize that he put a lot on the line. Nobody addressed the fact that even though Che and Mao might be called “terrorists” because they supported an ideal of Communism, we never call our founding fathers such as GW terrorists? Why is this? I think only because they worked in our favor. Che was in favor of an ideal which we didn’t exactly understand or were misinformed. I wear a T-shirt, read his memoirs, understand his life and can’t say that I like him just because he was a rebel, rather because he stood for some things that I feel that I have parallel interest. A lot of people associate Che with Castro and have bad feelings about him but it’s interesting to note that in his memoirs that Che notes that their fallout is on issues such as humanitarianism. Communism in itself may not be the most practical system, but it is in theory, the best way to live.</p>
