Che Guevara: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

Guevara remains both a revered and reviled historical figure, polarized in the collective imagination in a multitude of biographies, memoirs, essays, documentaries, songs, and films. As a result of his perceived martyrdom, poetic invocations for class struggle, and desire to create the consciousness of a "new man" driven by moral rather than material incentives, he has evolved into a quintessential icon of various leftist-inspired movements. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century, while an Alberto Korda photograph of him entitled Guerrillero Heroico (shown), was cited by the Maryland Institute College of Art as "the most famous photograph in the world".

Despite his demands for a society where every man and woman was equal, Che Guevara was a closet racist, writing in his journal, "The black man is indolent and a dreamer, spending his meager wage on drink and frivolity." (however this was during his earlier days, so its possible his opinions change due to his dedication to his ideology) ~~He also murdered many homosexuals alongside Fidel Castro (though he also murdered hetrosexuals as well) and arranged for the execution of an autistic teen that was a janitor~~.
