Has anybody ever actually seen someone wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt in the last 20 years? This is such a boomer meme.
I’ve got a Weird Al shirt that everyone confuses for one.
That is precisely the face I make if they’re capitalists. Good riddance to bad rubbish. I don’t care if you’re a nun. If you’re a capitalist nun — you’re evil.
T-shirt. Because you have two arms.
You aren’t a golf course. The tee isn’t shaped like a T. Though now you have me imagining Jesus on the green.
The letter “T” is spelt “tee”.
Spelt? Are you smithing?
Your same source is going to tell me that irregardless is a damn word:
without having lack of regard?
Just learn language.
Spelt? Are you smithing?
“Spelt” is the more common spelling of “spelled” in Britain, where I am from, and where the language was invented.
Your same source is going to tell me…
… that irregardless is a damn word
I don’t like it either and I blame the Americans. But part of learning language is learning that people using language differently aren’t necessarily wrong.
In regards to spelt, I was being facetious, Captain Al-loo-mini-um.
Kill your heroes, eat their corpses, and shit out a better tomorrow!
Never blindly idolise a person. Everyone has god and bad sides. Some more of one or the other. Let them inspire you not think for you. He however wasn’t much of a thinking kinda guy…
You’re not wrong, but someone tell me why I shouldn’t wear TV’s late Fred Rogers on my T-Shirt.
He was a shoe murderer. Every morning he would take off his shoes and fling them from his apartment window with such force that birds would disintegrate from impact and people below would suffer similar fates as his shoes were steel capped
Ok fine. Now what about my Bill Cosby hoodie?
The man was a SAINT and you should revere it
BBQ chicken so good, you don’t remember the next morning.
At least he wasn’t a pedophile.
Ghandi was a racist and hit his wife. Every great person in history has its dark side. At least Che did a lot of good for Cuba, like freeing slaves and fight oppression.
Current world leaders mostly just do harm. Like, commit horrible crimes against humanity and are evil and corrupt AF.
That doesn’t mean you have to lower your standards…
“hey, I’m a homophobe but I’m here to free you from slavery”
- nah thanks, we’ll wait for someone with better standards.
Low bar my friend.
Revolutionaries aren’t perfect, so it’s better to stick with the facist billionaire pedophiles that you already know and love.
I think there are more options in the t-shirt market than just 1) picture of communist fuckwad 2) picture of billionaire fuckwad.
Do you know what a ‘strawman’ is?
The little voodoo doll things made out of dry grass and hair?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
Also nice indicator of missing critical thinking.
No I’m pretty sure he meant the doll thing.
I think this is more false dichotomy than strawman.
Oh, so you’re saying it’s either a strawman or a false dichotomy? (/j)
i dont
That face when you spread misinformation
Why haven’t you blocked me yet?
How will they troll if they do.
That is why I’ve never blocked anyone.
You still have the energy to try to educate those evil morons? Impressive.
You should tell him to go back to reddit
The revolution freed the slaves in Cuba, ended its colonialism by the US, provided free medicine and education for every citizen, reformed land so there were no big landlords any longer, created vast amounts of infrastructure in rural areas that did not have any before this, and much, much more. The ones killed by the revolution were the fascists in the Batista regime.
You are absolutely correct–while this will probably be buried among all the other replies, I want to share the video essay by overzealots that confronts the liberal media’s propaganda/disinformation campaign surrounding the Cuban revolution.
Thanks!
Cuba has more doctors per sq. inch than another country in NA. Everybody in Cuba is highly educated despite it being a place where not the smartest people vacation to. Only reason Cuba is not an economic power house is because of the embargo that’s been going on for 50 years.
“How many left countries do I need to destroy to show you that it does not work?” - Every US intelligence agency, probably
indeed. the biggest reason socialism fails is because capitalists keep kneecaping it, not because its a flawed system.
The narrative that socialism has always failed is also wrong, too. Cuba is doing far better than they would have for its people had it remained a sugar colony. China is quickly advancing to the top of the world stage. Socialism does work, despite siege, even if it would do better without it.
China isn’t socialist
Yes it is, public ownership is the principal aspect of the economy and the working class runs the state. By Marxist analysis, it’s clearly socialist.
should have put “fails” in quotations TBF.
Shit I’d argue Cubans got it better then Americans rn. At least thier cancer gets treated.
Their scientists also developed a very potent cure for Alzheimers disease named NeuralCIM. Dr. Bill Blanchet, a US doctor is helping US patients to get treatment in Cuba. AFAIK the only western country doing a clinical trial with it is Canada.
Their scientists also developed a very potent cure for Alzheimers disease named NeuralCIM.
Not exactly, NeuralCIM does appear to slow Alzheimers progression, only measuring cognitive scores but it is far from a “cure”.
It’s being tested at Phase 2 in Canada, with plans for a large phase 3, this time using brain imaging.
How CIM can make this drug for $2.50 a dose is another question for capitalism, because by the time it gets approved in North America, it will cost thousands.
Ironic that the country under siege by the USA has the one drug the US president needs.
“NeuralCIM”
…
The internet has ruined me
Right now the genocidal blockade is preventing vital cancer-treating medicine from entering Cuba, so while Cuba does have numerous advantages over the US even with its imperialism, right now the people are being starved and cut off of vital necessities.
Ok, but Guevara got kicked out of Cuba because all he wanted was war. He was also a bastard to his own troops.
No, he left (and abdicated all of his own titles and citizenship) to go fight against imperialism in the Congo.
Not actual history, but believe what you want. You don’t always want military revolutionaries running a country after revolution. See Stalin.
Yep! It’s also resource poor as an island, which makes it that much more impressive!
“everybody I don’t like is a fascist”
I don’t like fascists, and Fulgencio Batista certainly was.
Is that the only person che murdered? The post sugeested a few other people. Were all the murdered gays also fascists?
Gay people weren’t murdered. The revolutionary government did continue the former reactionary policy towards gay people and imprisoned them, but this was corrected and overturned through the newly implemented democratic system. Today, Cuba is one of the most LGBTQIA+ countries on the planet thanks to their popular Family Code.
That’s not what the OP claims. And they are not talking about today’s Cuba, so you might as well tell me how ancient Greece viewed it, equally irrelevant.
The OP is wrong, lmao. And modern Cuba has only been a state since 1959, Batista’s regime is living memory for some. Be more serious.
I’ve literally never been wrong about anything at any point in my life… I did just finish blackshirts and reds, thanks for the rec. I’m starting Communism: A History by Richard Pipes next. Then the Soviet Century by Lewin.
Have you seen the sublemmy you are on? No, I won’t be more serious.
In international politics the “good guys” are the ones that are hostile towards your enemy regardless of any other shortcomings.
Well that was what all the other non conformists would wear as well!
Because his enemies would never.
Don’t forget the time he killed a dog
It’s cult of personality and it’s too much power (or any) over others in the hands of individuals.
Not today, CIA.
Nice try, FBI!
Hissssss
