For those of you that are youthful idealists, here is a brief note about socialism which is often associated with revolution. Revolutionary socialism is the socialist doctrine that social revolution is necessary in order to bring about structural changes to society. More specifically, it is the view that revolution is a necessary precondition for a transition from capitalism to socialism. As found on Quora, "True socialism is dangerous. The concept of nation guided by the principle of equality is very theoretically attractive. In practice however, a socialist system is bad for all of society as whole. Socialism inhibits innovation and efficiency, the engines for economic growth, restricts the freedom of the individual, and provides a vehicle for corruption and tyrannical rule." https://www.quora.com/why-is-socialism-considered-dangerous-or-bad-for-some-people

Che Guevara was violent and killed many people. So why do people wear t-shirts with his face?
Before you jump on the pop-culture bandwagon and purchase your Che Guevara t-shirt you should understand who he was and what he REALLY stood for: hatred, intolerance, and mass murder.
Che Guevara was a prominent communist figure in the Cuban Revolution (1956–59) who went on to become a guerrilla leader in South America. There is officially 216 Documented Victims of CHE CHé guevara In Cuba between 1957 to, 1959 directly by his hand or by his order to. Execute although his ultimate death toll is in the thousands for those killed during military operations that he lead.
The Che Guevara trend, or "Che chic", is a fashion trend featuring the Argentinian-born revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara. The phenomenon has attracted attention from the media, political commentators, songwriters, and Cuban American activists due to the popularity of the T-shirt design, Che's political beliefs, and the "irony" of buying a T-shirt depicting a Marxist icon (he fought to the economic system). Commentators have noted how the T-shirt is popular among younger adults, especially university students drawn to the rebelliousness associated with the icon. Critics claim that youth support the icon without being aware of the controversial figure behind it, who has been accused of using violence as a means to achieve his objectives and driving Cuba into economic disaster.
Che Guevara: Ernesto "Che" Guevara June 14, 1928 – October 9, 1967) was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture. He is one of the biggest commercial successes and one of the most brutal murderers in recent history. The high-contrast monochrome graphic of his face has become one of the world's most universally merchandized and objectified images, found on an endless array of items, including t-shirts, hats, posters, tattoos, and even bikinis, ironically contributing to the consumer culture he despised. From 1959 to 1960, the new government carried out summary executions of at least 1,118 people by firing squad. Guevara himself presided over the notorious La Cabaña prison, where hundreds of the executions took place. The New York Times estimated that in the first two months of the Cuban Revolution, there were approximately 528 firing squad executions. The Black Book on Communism cites a total of 14,000 executions by the end of the 1960s. Che was quoted in 1962 by the editor of the RevolucÍon, Carlos Franqui, as saying “We executed many people by firing squad without knowing if they were fully guilty. At times, the Revolution cannot stop to conduct much investigation.” Not only did Che despise the “imperialists” of the United States, but he also freely stated he wanted to launch a nuclear war against America.
- Che was a cold-blooded killer – and he enjoyed it. He said “a relentless hatred” toward the enemy transforms the men in his army into “an effective, violent, selective, and cold killing machine.” He even wrote to his own father that, “My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood…I'd like to confess, Papa, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing.”
The victims that are effected by the above mentioned revolutions are completely different than the meaning of fashion victims.
