Argentinian doctor and revolutionary, Ernesto Che Guevara, was killed on this day in 1967.

HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE, COMMANDANTE!
An exemplary man, communist and revolutionary.
I was wearing a Che Guevara shirt a few days ago. 1 of my idiot classmates said "Why do you always wear random things on your shirt? What is that? French?" to which I responded with "It's not random, it's Che Guevara and he's Cuban." to which my idiot friend responded with "Why are you wearing Fidel Castro on your shirt?" (Obviously a stupid observation) to which I replied "It's Che Guevara". What really ****** me off was when he said "Same ****!". Yea, because Fidel Castro was Fidel Castro's good friend and lead the revolution against America and died in the process yet is still alive today (thick sarcasm). It's sad that people don't know who this man is.
"Revolution is not an apple that drops when it's mature, You need to make it drop." - Translation of the quote in picture.
the world needs more people like him.
In an age of ever growing popularity of conservative semi-anarchist ideals attempting to drag society back centuries, men like him are sorely needed.
Sadly I have to agree.
