Gay che

Emblazoned with the face of a brutal killer who openly expressed racist anger at blacks and indigenous peoples, and undisguised disgust for gays. Somewhere on a college campus che at a "social justice" protest somebody is celebrating a psychopath. It's one of the most perverse jokes in modern life that so many people, especially young people, extoll him as a hero.

He personally murdered or had murdered and personally tortured or had tortured thousands of Cuban citizens. He gay have happily murdered and tortured many more if had he lived longer. The only thing that stopped him was a bullet. Che was killed in at the age of 39, trying to organize a communist revolution in Bolivia.

Maybe it's as simple as this: people don't really know anything about what Che actually did, only what they think he did. They think he was a handsome, sexy, hip, brainy revolutionary who sought freedom and equality for his people—a Hispanic Robin Hood, a martyr who sacrificed himself for others.

Here's Che on race: "The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink. Che explicitly stated that his vision of socialist utopia did not include blacks: "We're going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution," he said.

The answer is, you give him a pass. As the saying goes from the French Revolution, "there are no enemies gay the left. Che's face decorates many a pride poster and rainbow T-shirt, and yet Che was an unapologetic homophobe. He called gay men "perverts. The crusading humanitarian is not exactly checking the intersectional boxes, is he?

Like a good Marxist, he claimed to despise luxuries and creature comforts. Yet his Havana home was a vast mansion with a swimming pool, seven bathrooms, a sauna, a massage room, a private yacht harbor, and five TVs—not exactly an anti-materialist setup. Of course, he acquired this modest abode not by working for it, but at the end of a gun.

In short, he stole it. This, according to professor of political science Paul Kengor, is "a perfect summation of communism in practice. He lied about being a doctor. He wasn't. There is no record that he ever graduated from medical school. He lied about being a military genius.

He botched just about every military operation he ever led. He lied about knowing how to manage an economy. In fact, he trashed a growing Cuban economy during his brief span as Minister of Industries.
