    Should Che be an icon?

    Forty years after his death, the militant marxist continues to divide left-wingers around the world. Here, two prominent thinkers debate El Comandante's legacy.

    I wish I could remember where I saw it, but I remember seeing a tshirt of Che with the caption ''who is this guy?'' underneath it?

    Hilarious!

    No.

    He was a Stalinist and he was Chief Prosceutor and executed hundreds of his former 'comrades'.

    Fake when you are in Cuba try meeting up with political oppoents of Castro and Che - it should be easy to arrange a mass meeting - they are all in jail although you might not get to talk much as most are in solitary confinement or beaten to within an inch of their life.

    Don't forget to take some pictures of how real CUbans live - away from the tourist spots .....

    I'll be as far away from holiday spots as you can get, I don't do beaches! I was going to apply for a permit to get into Gitmo, but they might give me one!

    Che was a thug, the day they got him was a good day's shooting. I find it bizarre that's considered perfectly normal to wear around a t-shirt of this murderer.
