Via Cal Ulmann, an article from Bully Magazine about dolts who wear Che Guevara's image on their shirts:
Equally disturbing about the Che-worship cult is the complete whitewashing of his more foul deeds (if his trendier fans are aware of them at all). In organizing the July 26 Movement with Castro, Guevara was in charge of the revolutionary troops. He had standing orders that all informants and deserters should be shot and even carried out the first execution himself, declaring, "I ended the problem giving him a shot with a .32 pistol in the right side of the brain." The trail of bodies Guevara left through the Sierra Maestra has been well documented by many biographers; most of the victims of course were his own men.
The fad of Guevara worship is a symptom of a larger trend, washing the blood from the hands of socialists.
