#el che

I don't think right wing media has spread as much misinformation about anyone else than they have for Che Guevara.

YouTube channels like Bad Empanada and Overzealots have done some great videos going into more detail about how outlets like PargerU misconstrue facts about him to make him seem bad, but I'm going to give you the most clear example I can.

The most common accusations against Che was that he's a racist, and the source they cite for that is his journal and yeah it's true he did write something racist about black people once.

Most people would have read about that on the very first page of his biography; but if they had carried on reading beyond that they would have learned that Che was a sheltered rich kid who wrote that journal before he went to study to be a doctor and the amount of suffering he saw changed him from the ignorant sheltered rich boy he used to be to someone who then went to fight for the freedom and rights in Congo.

In the words of Paarthurnax, "What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?"

Besides; if he truely was as racist and homophobic as they claimed he was, the Nazis would be the ones who had pictures of him but instead they hate him.

Buona notte, notturno anonimo.

Una Moto Guzzi e l'Argentina dentro cui viaggiare, con tanti libri in uno zaino e tanta birra gelata ad aspettarmi in minuscole stazioni di servizio perse nella pampa.
