Has anybody ever actually seen someone wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt in the last 20 years? This is such a boomer meme.
I’ve got a Weird Al shirt that everyone confuses for one.

The revolution freed the slaves in Cuba, ended its colonialism by the US, provided free medicine and education for every citizen, reformed land so there were no big landlords any longer, created vast amounts of infrastructure in rural areas that did not have any before this, and much, much more. The ones killed by the revolution were the fascists in the Batista regime. Marxism-Leninism is the ideology of the liberation of the working classes around the world.
You are absolutely correct--while this will probably be buried among all the other replies, I want to share the video essay by overzealots that confronts the liberal media's propaganda/disinformation campaign surrounding the Cuban revolution.
Thanks!
Cuba has more doctors per sq. inch than another country in NA. Everybody in Cuba is highly educated despite it being a place where not the smartest people vacation to. Only reason Cuba is not an economic power house is because of the embargo that's been going on for 50 years.
"How many left countries do I need to destroy to show you that it does not work?" - Every US intelligence agency, probably
indeed. the biggest reason socialism fails is because capitalists keep kneecaping it, not because its a flawed system.
The narrative that socialism has always failed is also wrong, too. Cuba is doing far better than they would have for its people had it remained a sugar colony. China is quickly advancing to the top of the world stage. Socialism does work, despite siege, even if it would do better without it.
Yep! It's also resource poor as an island, which makes it that much more impressive!
Kill your heroes, eat their corpses, and shit out a better tomorrow!
Revolutionaries aren't perfect, so it's better to stick with the facist billionaire pedophiles that you already know and love.
I think there are more options in the t-shirt market than just 1) picture of communist fuckwad 2) picture of billionaire fuckwad.
Do you know what a 'strawman' is?
I think this is more false dichotomy than strawman.
Oh, so you're saying it's either a strawman or a false dichotomy? (/j)
Never blindly idolise a person. Everyone has god and bad sides. Some more of one or the other. Let them inspire you not think for you. He however wasn't much of a thinking kinda guy...
You're not wrong, but someone tell me why I shouldn't wear TV's late Fred Rogers on my T-Shirt.
He was a shoe murderer. Every morning he would take off his shoes and fling them from his apartment window with such force that birds would disintegrate from impact and people below would suffer similar fates as his shoes were steel capped
Ok fine. Now what about my Bill Cosby hoodie?
The man was a SAINT and you should revere it
BBQ chicken so good, you don't remember the next morning.
I always just liked the irony of putting this guy on a tshirt and selling them at retailers.

I made one with mickey mouse ears on him.
Back when Post-Modern stuff like that wasn't considered Cultural Marxism or part of MAGAs claims about the trans agenda. Post-Modernism was just remixing art and stuff.
Not today, CIA.
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.
That face when you spread misinformation
Great post, Marco Rubio! Keep up the great work!
Always doubt your heroes.
And never deify anyone.
