Description
This illustration talks about the paradox between Che Guevara's (a man symbolised by his fights against misery) and a poor child which has to make a Che Guevara's tee-shirt for a miserable wage.Che Guevara must be turning in his grave, if he knew that he became a fashion accessory.

Avec du recul, j'aurais aimé modifié certains détails, mais bon...
Cette illustration tend à représenter le paradoxe existant entre Che Guevara (un homme symbolisé par sa lutte contre les clivages sociaux, la pauvreté...) et une petite fille créant un tee-shirt de ce dernier pour un salaire de misère.
Che Guevara se retournerait-il pas dans sa tombe s'il savait qu'il était devenu un accessoire de mode?

Che Guevara is a psychopath, a monster. Why anyone defends him, I'll never know.

"During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it [...] They omit, obscure, or distort the revolutionary side of this theory, its revolutionary soul."
Lenin, Vladimir, "The State and Revolution"
Fits nice with this situation, don't you think?

Che Guevara banned music, burned books, hated blacks, was an anti-semite, murdered those who disagreed with him, personally oversaw execution squads, and was in charge of a system that imprisoned gays solely for the crime of being gay. A man can have his faults but if your going to make him a Icon maybe check his past deeds and character.

Great social commentary. The exploitation of a social class, for the perpetuation of a symbolic image against imperialism, capitalism, and for self-determination.

Communist? In name only. They are far more fascist than the Nazis now. State capitalism. Where do you think the clothing you brought came from?

Actually building public churches in china is illegal. Sure it is not as harsh as north korea and communist Russia but it is still in line with the whole ''opium of the people idea''.

Interesting. I haven't thought about that, actually. I have a shirt with his face on it, I think I was 13 when I bought it. But it's okay if I paint him on my shirts myself, isn't it?

I can imagine Che Guevara rising from the grave and breaking into that sweatshop to liberate these workers from their slavery.
His family has spoken out against the production of these shirts.

Also suing a company that used him in an ad, and then went and gave all the money they received into the Cuban healthcare system. Quite nice of them.

It's really a disgrace how Capitalism has used his face for their own gain.

Indeed. The only real joy I can take from it is that the more they use it the more money gets put into Cuban healthcare.
