Hey BuzzFeed, Che Guevara Was A Bloodthirsty Terrorist

[The Federalist] The terrorist Ernesto "Che" Guevara met his karmic end, executed without a trial in a muddy hut by CIA-trained Bolivian operatives, in 1967. Since that moment, however, his life has been endlessly romanticized by the Left‐a trend that doesn’t seem to be abating.
He died, crying like a little bitch, using the "Don't you know who I am?" line
His life isn’t only idealized by Communists or Cuban tyrants, but by old-fashioned American liberals who have a longstanding practice of whitewashing socialist history. The cult includes authors; retail clothing chains; filmmakers like Robert Redford, who watched his romantic ode to Che with the murderer’s widow in Havana; pop icons who vacation in Communist Cuba; commemorative Irish postage stamp designers; a parade of intellectually stunted zombies walking around your local campuses with idealized portraits of Che their T-shirts; and a number of media outlets, which now include BuzzFeed.

The newest entry into the genre is a Vox-style 9-minute explainer, which is to say a grossly misleading history called "Che Guevara Becomes A Legend After Death." It’s a biography tantamount to producing documentaries about the lives of Augusto Pinochet or Benito Mussolini without mentioning their vicious suppression of political opposition.

Although the BuzzFeed viewers will learn that Little Ernesto suffered from debilitating asthma, they do not learn that Che took the lead in creating a secret police and gulag in Cuba, where thousands of people guilty of nothing more than thought crimes‐ including priests, innocent bureaucrats, and anyone with homosexual mannerisms‐were sent to spend decades as slave labor.

#1 Why is the left so enamored with this phony romantic image of Guevara?

#2 ..cause he wasn't a slaver (beyond the realization that socialism in total is slavery)? Four legs good, two legs ~~bad~~ better.

#3 Sorry, but the left is completely aware what Che did. He wouldn't be an icon of he hadn't been a mass murderer. The left LOVES what he did, and believing they're ignorant of it is wishful thinking.

#8 It's also been said that Castro tipped off the U.S. (or Bolivia?) on Che's whereabouts. One less rival, I suppose.

Imagine walking around town with Hitler or Stalin or Pol Pot t-shirts. I had a shirt with his ugly mug with the red circle and slash over it. Loved wearing it.
