Che is not admired by all, and his beliefs might be difficult to endure. I think it is those that have the most to lose materially that tend to drive these thoughts. The perspective of the privileged has grief too. Che recognized imbalance, enough to create hate. He murdered and ordered thousands of people dead. Can these hate crimes be ratified, not likely. Was it sport? This might be seen as recreation and some might see it as a consequence of exploitation. When you bully a dignified person, you will get punched back, despite winning the fight. For many years the profits and capital gains American Corporations raised though business deals and projects led to the disenfranchising of many cultures. This resulted in poverty. During the Cuban revolution many who fled in hate of Che were the privileged, many who were killed were pawns of the privileged, and those who continue to resist are the privileged.
These folks are unwilling to lose their luxury. It is time to apologize with action and reconciliation. What we as a nation are willing to give are words and donations. I think the suffering and death of luxury is painful. Luxury is a human quality, that distracts me from my existential responsibility. This round of felicidades are to forgive the dark side of the man "Che". He was a killer, he took on the viscous face of anger and revenge. He believed in something not only to die for, but unfortunately to kill for. I have to say that when I visited Guatemala it was easy to see who would welcome equality and who would resist having to be equal.
