Not based on Che Guevara, but actually Che Guevara. He was born Ernesto Guevara to quite a wealthy family. He started off into a career in medicine, before travelling through South America. He was a guerilla leader in Cuba, and helped to get Fidel Castro to power. He was enventually captured when he attempted a similar thing in Bolivia, in what is commonly know as a CIA led operation.

I'll let someone with a bit more of a knowledge on the subject to fill in the blanks.

An icon of Socialism. A man who opposed America and capitalism so staunchly. A man who was executed for his beliefs. A man who made America scared. Scared of a nation with evolutionary ideals, with a population similar to Iowa. Mibee thats why.

Bourgeoise revolutionary turned fundamentalist killer / torturer.

More photogenic than the average thug however, and thus popular with 'thinking' students to this day.

sorry 24 (congrats on the increment

Agree about the photogenic aspect.

The Khmer Rouge were flavour of the month for ciabatta revolutionaries for a bit in the 70s. You don't see Pol Pot on many flags nowadays though.
