I’ve seen this guy on peoples profile pics sometimes or a poster of him, who is he?
Che Guevara, he was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary and guerilla. Close friend of Fidel Castro and played an important role in the Cuban revolution.
This particular image of him is a famous photograph taken during a memorial service for the victims of a ship that exploded. It’s become an iconic image presumably due to his somber expression, but is also associated with rebellion when used commercially, which is of course a weird irony.
He remains a controversial figure. National hero in Cuba, and regarded by those of a socialist and communist persuasion as an anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist hero and champion of the poor. Liberals and conservatives on the other hand view him as a brutal murderer.
He was a complex character that you’d need to read about in depth to form an opinion on.
He also volunteered at a leprosy colony when he was younger. The Motorcycle Diaries is a pretty good movie about that period of his life.
That’s Ernesto. He was president of the National Bank of Cuba for a few years.
I love the fact that you are being downvoted by idiots when you are 100% correct. People forget that he held political offices on Cuba for way longer than he was a guerrilla fighter, and he failed hard when he tried to do guerrilla warfare on his own, both in Congo and Bolivia. He was just a dude, a son of Argentinian oligarchs who got a good ol’ white savior complex, then got himself killed because he thought that everyone but him were stupid.
I appreciate your comment, and that you share the sentiment of seeing past the obvious legend, but I accept that people can find my answer unhelpful. :)
I have a Cuban bill signed by him as “Che”
his signature is on the bottom left
Like others said, Che Guevara.
From what I’ve seen, he’s worn largely by edgelords who think they are rebellious but mostly just sit around and smoke pot.
Now we’re going to play a real fun game. It’s called, “Who is your daddy, and what does he do?”
I’m a cop you idiot
