I almost commented a second ago, too, on how Che is actually controversial, because hippie kids wear him on a t-shirt they got at the mall as a generic symbol of resistance, and then some conservative asshole always has to come in with an extremely selective outrage towards human rights, and use overheated terms like "stalinist" and "gulag". Was Che ever in Russia? How did he run a gulag?

Meanwhile, neither the hippie nor the conservative could likely tell you offhand what country the guy was born in. I had to wiki it myself.




I was surprised Che was outside of South America. Here's the list of places he been to: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/File:CheGueva... (Including being in Congo during the war)
