Go read up on him. He and Fidel Castro were buddies.

To his credit, he did play a role in modern guerilla warfare tactics later adopted in part by our infantry in the US Army.

IIRC, Proliteridiot has a massive tat of him on his back...

I'll give you $10 Pay Pal if you go post a link to this (one of the shirts from the site the OP linked to) in P&N Text

He was a symbol of the communist party in Cuba. I think 99% of the people that wear him on their shirts have no clue who he his and what he stood for.

whether you agree with what he did or not, he is a fascinating person to study.

if you just want to get an idea of who he was before the politics got involved, i highly recommend watching the motorcycle diaries.
