The Commodization of Che

Please excuse me, this has nothing to do with books, but there was no where else to post this. Looking over the collection of Che possessions, I was slightly revolted.

Is this what he wanted? His face plastered on millions of posters, t shirts, cufflinks(!), watches, cups, hats etc, all to be sold for the sake of fueling capialistic societies? His image turned into a mickey mouse-like commodity? I don't think he wanted to be an idol, worshipped with man-made items.

The best way to pay homage to Guevara's legacy is to live your life with truth and courage. See every man as your equal, treat him as such, and contribute as little as possible to the pockets of the capitalists.
