Even very young children need to be informed about dying. Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make threatening him with it much more effective.
When picking a icon for one's new efforts in the financial service, you might not want one who was a murderous bastard. ~ Posted by: I R A Darth Aggie at September 17, 2015 5:47 AM
Murderous or not, you want to pick someone who has demonstrated competence in the financial arena. Che has not. He tanked the Cuban economy.
His replacement of financial incentives for workers with "moral incentives" caused a rapid drop in industrial productivity and a correspondingly rapid rise in worker absenteeism.
His economic policies turned Cuba into an impoverished welfare client of the Soviet Union.

You don't see the 1% wasting their lives sitting in a cubicle.
That nobody -- in all the people who must have reviewed that -- had the slightest clue.
No one doing the reviewing was old enough to actually remember Che as a contemporary. And so, they just know of the iconic photograph, the posters of said photograph, and the t-shirts based on said photograph of a revolutionary icon.
Not the executions. Not the racism. Not the failed attempts at spreading Marxism in Africa or South America. My impression is that the Castros shipped him off because he was an embarrassment to them, and they hoped he'd either succeed in these ventures, or die a heroic death.
He couldn't even manage the latter.
Communist economic policies turned Cuba into an impoverished welfare client of the Soviet Union.
Fixed for ya. Yer welcome. Of course, that's also why he instituted slave labor in Cuba. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

If you know the history, a Che Guevara poster is as objectionable as a Heinrich Himmler poster - they were both mass murderers, torturers, and in the line of command for death camps, as well as revolutionary soldiers in mistaken causes. Che probably ordered the murder of a larger percentage the Cuban population than Himmler did of the German, Polish, or Russian population. Che is 20 years closer to our time, so "No one doing the reviewing was old enough to actually remember Che" should not be an excuse. The real problem is that leftists in the schools and the media have kept the memory of the Nazi Holocaust green, while sweeping the many Communist holocausts out of sight.

Not to mention that for a _financial services company_ to adopt a Communist murderer as a logo is like putting up Himmler and Eichmann posters in a synagogue.

And a virulent racist and homophobe to boot. Who is also now spinning in his grave because he's been co-opted by running dog capitalists.

Unbelievable, I R A Darth Aggie. That nobody -- in all the people who must have reviewed that -- had the slightest clue.

My solution, next time shoot few of the tourists, they'll eventually learn.
