      They have something in common; both failed in politics. I do not believe that, in the future, George is going to help selling t-shirts and else like Ernesto does. But some pals of George are doing very good business thanks the present mayhem.
      Thanks for sharing with us at Ernesto.

      Ernesto was an idealist. You may have a lot to criticize to him (personally I do not think revolutions must be done though the arms) but he believed in it and gave his life for it.

      W, in the other hand, is comfortably sat in his big chair giving others to bomb there and there...

      I believe that all in all, Ernesto's t-shirts are still spreading an ideal, a sense of freedom.

      I believe it is the idealist aspect that give him the position he has in all kinds of cultures. At the moment I am mostly interested in the photograph by Korda. But it is not possible to detach the man from the image, our the image from the legend, our even the legend from the photograph... I agree that he is still spreading an ideal and sense of freedom. But that also depends on the context of where it appears...

      I am pusseld!

      I admire and profoundly respect Ernesto's idealism. But both he and George have had the same problem: hubris. I thank HGG13 to remind us that this group is about Korda's famous picture and not about the man depicted there. I agree with her that is is difficult to us, thirty years after his death, to dissociate the man from the myth from the picture. A bit like Jesus, or Bob Marley.

      Here in Argentina, a graphic novel named "CHE" was made about Ernesto's journey, by Alberto Breccia (artist) and Héctor Oesterheld (scripting)... It is still about the legend, but very interesting if you want to know more about him... I do not know if there's an english translation. I know it can be found in Italy, Spain and France if you look for it.
