Enough already with this ignorant fad. Seriously, go up to any of the hipster kids wearing of these shirts and ask them who is was. Some will say he's a pro-skater, some will kind of stare at you blankly, and the ones who do "know" will say something like "he was a revolutionary"
Right, but what was he "revolting" against? They don’t know.
Ernesto Guevara was Marxist revolutionary.
There is a coffee shop in Hood River whose shirts bear his image along with the tagline: "Coffee worth starting a revolution over"
Yes, I'm sure that a man who lived and died fighting for communism, would love that his likeness is being used to hock espresso, a symbol of imperialism and our bourgeois society.
And not to mention that red shirts we see everywhere, COST MONEY. The people making them... MAKE MONEY. It is a capitalistic venture, and therefore is the antithesis of everything your "revolutionary hero" stood for.
Morons.
