Ernestito Guevara - the Argentinian revolutionary fighter
50 years ago to this day, Che Ernestito Guevara the revolutionary fighter was shot and killed by Bolivian forces and CIA undercover operatives. While his face adorns millions of T shirts, no one except for the people who really knew what he stood for.
For the current generation of young people, he probably is just an emoji representing everything that is anti-establishment (the current system and the bureacracy). Beyond that, he is just another global marketing brand label for the consumer industry.
What an irony. The person who was most against capitalism has his image emblazoned on everything from caps to T shirts, mugs, key chains and wallets.
