Another idiot child in a Che Guevara T-shirt

What is it about middle-class children and their parents that makes them think that wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt is in some way "cool"? I have just seen a pre-teenager boy wearing such a T-shirt whilst he and his 30/40 year-old father put their cycling helmets on and undid their cycle padlocks on the local high street. I managed to restrain myself from pointing out some truths about their hero Che Guevara but for them and you here they are...

First in his own words:

“Hatred as the central element of our struggle! Hatred that is intransigent…hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him violent and cold- blooded killing machine...We reject any peaceful approach. Violence is inevitable. To establish Socialism rivers of blood must flow! The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we’ll destroy him! These hyenas are fit only for extermination. We must keep our hatred alive and fan it to paroxysm! The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!”

That's Ernesto "Che" Guevara speaking about Americans, April 1966 Message to the Tricontinental Conference in Havana, Cuba. A suitable person to have his face on your son's T-shirt?


Now a fact about Che Guevara's murderous existence.
Whilst the exact number of executions Che Guevara ordered is unknown, conservative estimates range from 400 to 2,000 over his lifetime. Unfortunately, the lack of proper records mean that the exact number will probably never be known. What is clear is that Che Guevara was a violent Communist who thought nothing of killing anyone who opposed him.


Here's another couple of Che Guevara's quotation:

"Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl!"
"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"

A suitable person to have his face on your son's T-shirt?

here's a link to a document that lists just the documented victims of Che Guevara.


How about another Che Guevara quotation:

"To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary...These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We must create the pedagogy of the The Wall! (El Paredón)"

I is odd how the left have no problem idolising Che Guevara, a man who killed or ordered the killing of thousands of Cubans, and praising Fidel Castro who has been responsible for the deaths of ten of thousands, but the same people call Margaret Thatcher 'that evil woman'!


Here's another Che quotation:
Che boasted of "manufactured evidence" and stated flat out "I don't need proof to execute a man, I only need proof that it's necessary to execute him."


As I have said before, remember these facts the next time you see an idiot wearing his 'cool' Che T-shirt or meet anyone, with the possible exception if they are Spanish, who names their son after this 'hero'.
