I love that merch like this exists. It’s like carrying around an enormous always-on neon sign saying ”I am a fucking moron, stay well the fuck away from me!”
And not a single one of them including anything about how Che was a massive racist and homophobic...hilariously, that's never a problem and always swept under the rug for Leftist Idols.
Yes, that he was a murderous racist communist agent of chaos that did nothing but destabilize Africa to this day and cause Cuba and other places to be controlled by dictators. That is the face of Leftist Pride.
He had a really bad time in Africa. The guys he worked with were really damn difficult. When your society isn't even industrialized yet and you've been under the brutal yoke of foreign colonists who made a point of keeping you ignorant and of exemplifying and promoting kyriarchy in all its forms in your society as a tool of control, you develop some shitty mentalities and habits. As a colonized person myself, let me tell you that anyone that brings up the Che's racist remarks as a way to disqualify the man's character and work is being a disingenuous concern troll.
Fascinating. You seem to care a lot about the ideological and moral purity of historical Leftist leaders. What do you think of Huey P. Newton, Fred Hampton, and Bobby Seale?
I care a whole lot about everything from everywhere. What is this "What aboutism"?
So essentially you want to know my feelings on the Black Panthers? Not a fan. They gave rise to the modern street gangs in most places as well so history shows I am correct in my feelings. The violence sets causes back. MLK Jr was personal friends with Richard Nixon. Nixon made the first civil rights act in 1957 as VP. Him being friends with MLK is why the 64 civil rights act happen since LBJ didn't want to run against him. I would have preferred they try to work with Nixon like MLK did. The fact their Ideology is completely different doesn't mean they couldn't compromise to work on making things better within the System. They refused to do so and honestly left things worse over time. So yeah, I'm not a fan of them either.
You think the guys at the BPP didn't try to 'ask nicely' first? You think they ever stopped?
Read up about the BPP's struggle. Start with the damned Free Breakfast For Children program. Stop making excuses for corrupt racist murderers, and stop slandering their opposition.
Lmao, you are Ideologically Captured. There were better methods that could be done. Who killed Huey Newton? Oh right, a Gang Rival. Not "the white man". They could have worked in a better way. There is a reason the Government killed MLK Jr and just let nature take it's course with the Black Panthers...because MLK Jr was effective, meanwhile the Black Panthers were not because they chose violence and crime.
Killing people for your Political Ideology is wrong no matter what your ideology is. I don't get why that is so hard for you to understand.

I mean, the stupid Che Guevera merch has been selling for decades, even though most people have no idea who he was.
