I'll be completely honest, early on I found the use of him by the left offputting. Much the same way I feel about Mumia, Marley, or any other pet darling of the left.
As a result I have not followed his career much. I know roughly what he was about and fighting for, but why his imagery is used as much as it is by some I do not know. Used so much so that even you recognize his value on something as trivial as a poster.
If you end up on a poster in an American kids bedroom, I would consider you a failure. Che is a commercial product. His imagery and legacy hijacked by the culture industry, again, robbing it of its critical function.
Packaged corporate rebellion, makes me sick.
