5. I made a comment on pirates a few days ago.
Saying the context of pirate depends on the status quo system. A pirate against corruption would be good, a pirate against a just system would be bad.


It is the same thing with revolution, any of the many systems of governance, money, corporate, social, two tier, can be 'rebelled' against in many ways, peaceful ways, education ways, and many other things.

So just saying something is about revolution requires the context. You can revolt by voting people out of office, or changing oversight on things like voting machines.


The point is revolution does not have a moral argument without the context of what it is for and what it does not agree with.

and each side calls the other rebels in many situations. If a bad system makes a claim for power, it will call good rebels, and vice versa.

So it is all context and what people think and feel.

6. I've seen Che plushy dolls as well.
I love how that brutal, Stalinist thug has been used by capitalists to make a ton of money!

7. And Thomas Jefferson was a wealthy landowner who used his erudition to convince poor men...
to wage war in order to serve Jefferson's economic interests.
ALL "heroes" are flawed. Even the sainted "founding fathers"

9. That's because, unlike Che's cheekbones, tall doesn't show up on a t-shirt

14. Sure. Why not? Both were violent revolutionaries who are idolized.
But I don't think Che ever...y'know...owned fellow human beings.

12. They need a category for those who wear Che Guevara shirts because
they think he's the guy on the package of rolling papers.

:evilgrin:
