Che Guevara as a historical figure and Guevara as a cultural symbol are not the same,
Why did Che Guevara become an outstanding cultural symbol?
1. He distinguishes himself from the typical secular success of capitalism (the kind of person who works hard to be a boss and makes a lot of money), and this image sometimes feels too marketable to be interesting.
2. He distinguishes himself from the common images of socialist leaders, such as Stalin and Castro. In the West their image... @Wang Shitao said it well: Cut is a dream. Cut a lifelong revolution. He did not fall into political struggles like Trotsky, did not fall into Stalin's tyranny, and did not make the mistake of three or seven. He gave up his post and fought desperately for liberation in a foreign land. A complete lunatic.
3. He is different from the average Romantic poet, he is a true warrior.
4. He is different from the average warrior, he is a poet with romantic feelings.
5. He is a true idealist, his volunteer labor in Cuba is real work, definitely not similar to leading tree planting and posing, Locke Jiahui is so famous, let alone Che Guevara? Whether you believe in communism or not, you will like people who are loyal to their ideals.
6. Coming from a wealthy family, but devoting himself to the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat in another country
7. After attaining fame, he abandoned his position of power and wealth, left his wife and children, and finally died of his revolutionary ideals, including the famous photograph of the beret and the photograph of the dead, like a saint and a martyr. (However, there is also information that his departure was also due to Cuban political and line struggles.)
8. Che Guevara is very handsome, he is a great spokesperson for cigars; he is so different, his demeanor is no less than that of a rock star, more deviant than a rock star, but not decadent but full of idealistic brilliance, and a great image of subculture.
In the end, Che Guevara wanted to liberate the toiling masses under the rule of the bourgeoisie, but in the end he was printed by the capitalists on T-shirts, books, cups, posters, cigar boxes, and I don't know what he would think under the Nine Springs.
