Che Guavara has to be the coolest revolutionary thats ever lived. There is nowwhere on the planet where you wont see a "Che" picture or t-shirt. Some of us see the negative side of the man. Forgetting none of us has no negative side - to whatever degree. Whats important is what the man represents - "revolution"
Che paved the way for countless revolutionaries around the world who took heart in Che's viewpoints of the downtrodden citizens of the world. From helping plant the revolutionary seed in latin America - to helping african revolutionaries in Africa.
If Che were alive today he would be quite dissapointed that the revolutionary seed's he sawed (especially in latin america) have not really changed much of the world. Revolutions that brought about waves of change for the common man who was disgruntled at the powers that be - have only replaced those that were toppled with power hungry politicians.
These men and women who were placed there by the people have forgotten what drove them - mainly to get rid of those that hold power for themselves and throw crumbs after the feast to the common man. They have only taken the very same seats of power and do the very same.
One thing Che would be proud of though, is the fact that he is not forgotten. And maybe one day when trueone's step forward to make a real change - they will remember Che and take his spirit with them when they step into battle.
Viva Che!!
