Of course, libs hate living revolutionaries, but dead ones don’t do inconvenient things like support oppressed people or criticize oppressive power structures. Or as Lenin put it:
During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.
The one I can’t get is why they’re so mada bout Che. Dude’s as squeaky clean as any revolutionary has ever been but they loathe him.
What’s that libbed up sitcom where the mom goes, “walking into a Cuban’s house with a Che Guevara tshirt is like walking into a Jewish home with an Adolf Hitler tshirt”?
