Despite all the lies the Imperialism spreads about Guevara, he is really a people's hero. And no, Cuba has never been a socialist nation - Fidel was not communist, his project to cuba was not the socialism - and Guevara leaved because of this.
Guevara was not a pacifist or a saint, he killed A LOT of people.
But what is not said is that LOTS of people were killed in the french revolution, and in the other european revolutions, and also in the USA revolution, for example. In social transformation MANY people die, as history has showed us many, many times.
But who "endemonizes" the french revolution and their leaders as they do with Mao, Lenin, Stalin and guevara???
What those who do not want a new, fair, society (and those who just repeat without thinking what "learned" at school) does not say when talking about "communism" is how many victims the capitalism do EVERY SINGLE DAY with its wars and slavery, and the bilions of people who born and die in misery because of capitalism.

Think about it man :P

Sorry for the political content, but I just cannot "shut up" before this.

And of course thank you man, thats a really nice theme :D

Che Guevara stood for peace and equality amongst all men, that is why he split from Castro. The only reason he helped take over Cuba in the first place was because he was upset (rightly so) at the regime that WE Americans put in to control.

I had to register just to reply to this idiocy. As a Cuban I am very offended to read things like these,and to see how some imbeciles perpetuate the myth that Guevara was some kind of hero. He was no more than a war criminal and a thief who took part in that huge fraud that was the Cuban "Revolution". Next time you think about saying or writing such stupidities,try to get your head around the fact that we Cubans prefer to die in the ocean than stay living under such a system. This isn't a perfect country but it sure is the best there is!
Some people just don't appreciate what they have and you seem to be one of them. Grow the fuck up!

Why not a Stalin or Hitler theme?
I prefer men of peace!!!!

I prefer men who want to end this bloody class war. And really, i'd prefer to win.

Hitler would be good! ;)
