the iconography is bothersome, an indication of the hollowing-out of the past and it's replacement with a superficial duplicate. but at the same time, the famous image of che is a cool image.

I beg to differ. Che was a genocidal murderer, a maniac of epic proportions. I find it repulsive that thousands of naive white liberal college students adopt his image as a symbol of...whatever it is they think he stands for. Cool image? About as cool an image as Hitler or Mao. And please, stop talking down to me and condescend to me. If you step off your high horse pedestal for a minute, perhaps you could see the truth.
