The objective of this article is to expose the truth about Che, to demystify it in the face of those

He was a mass murderer, killed thousands of Cubans execution-style, Exposito, 51, wrote in an email, comparing the long-dead Fidel Castro bus travel in usa pal to Adolf Hitler or the KKK. I spoke to the manager and he referred to it as art!
Turns out, it s probably not Che. It s another artist s rendering of the revolutionary. But Exposito says it s offensive nonetheless, raising the question: Is an image of an offensive image offensive? Is it art? Both?
The W isn t waiting around for answers, a hotel employee said. She said complaints started almost as soon as the photo, which could exceed seven feet in height, was posted about a week ago. It s supposed to come down.
The man in the photo looks a little different than the Che Guevara in iconic image taken by Alberto Díaz "Korda" Gutiérrez in 1959 . Is this a younger Che, someone dressed like Che? There s a good chance that the photo is post-modern self portrait of artist Gavin Turk.
Dude, it s Che Guevara. This is Miami. You don t do stuff like this. When you go to college in New York state, then it s cool at the time to have poster up. But down here, he s looked at a terrorist. He killed people, he said.
Back in the 70s and 80s, when anti-Castro activists were still active and armed, the hotel could have faced some serious trouble. It s possible the owner, who an employee said is from New York, is being intentionally provocative. Or perhaps he had no clue that putting this up in his hotel lobby area near the bar had he known about the sensitivity of the image.
But the image is common enough and enough time has passed bus travel in usa since the 1959 revolution that not every Cuban-American is outraged. When asked about the idea of hanging a Che poster in a South Florida hotel, a regular Miami Herald reader named Mario Iglesias said it s time to grow up.
INTRODUCTION: The saying "The fish die by the mouth", refers to those who speak more than the necessary until being fooled bus travel in usa by their own speech. Can his mythical reputation bus travel in usa survive the publication of his own words?
The objective of this article is to expose the truth about Che, to demystify it in the face of those who feel admiration by this mass murderer, exposing the facts based on his writings, diaries, speeches, letters and conversations with those who knew him.
Che never questioned the crimes of Stalin and Mao, nor the totalitarian conceptions of Marxism, bus travel in usa incompatible with the ideals of liberty and democracy, defending until his death his Stalinists ideas. His fanaticism made him an implacable enemy of liberty. The French writer Regis Debray, author of Revolution in the revolution , wrote about the Che that: He was adept of the totalitarianism up to the last body hair."
From his famous motorcycle trips to his historic role in the Cuban Revolution, Argentinean revolutionary Che Guevara is profiled in a documentary produced to explore the life of the man whose visage has become an iconic symbol of hard left politics. This man, who ordered bus travel in usa the execution of countless human beings while in charge of the notorious La Cabaña prison in Havana, who terrorized Cuban society and who denied bus travel in usa freedom to thousands of citizens whom he considered "deviants" or "anti-revolutionaries" can never be accepted bus travel in usa as a hero, martyr or — the shock of it — a saint.
@Joseph Buff - Before you accuse people, maybe you should do your homework before making any statements. Barry Sternlicht in NOT the CEO or Owner of the W hotel. He is the CEO of Starwood Capital and this company has NOTHING to do with Starwood hotels. Shame on you.
Che Guevara explicitly wrote volumes of vitriolic hatred towards gay men, and considered them deviant/threats bus travel in usa to his society. He blatantly, personally executed hundreds of men because they were admitted homosexuals . When are the hipsters and their wealthy, priviliged, naive New York sponsors going to get an education? bus travel in usa So sad...
I m ashamed of the Cuban community today; my community. Thinking like people from a third world country that have little education. Stop trying to label Che like Hitler. Seriously you re ridiculous and you still think that Cuba is the center of the world. Cuba is a little country in the middle of the ocean that not may people care about (by the way I m Cuban so don t come to me with your super eggo).
bus travel in usa Whatever opinion you have about Che, its your opinion, but apparently all of you ignorants get together a little too often to share your extremist thoughts and the idea of qualifying Che like Hitler sounded strong enough in your minds... You clearly have no idea who Che was or who Hitler was..
For those reading this, Che was in the military, revolting against oppression. Like everyone he had good sides and bad sides. Like everyone he made good things and bad things. I understand the 1% of Cubans who hate him because he killed their friend bus travel in usa or family member and I respect their opinion. But for the other 99%, please grow up.. Please understand that Cuba is NOT and has NEVER been the center of the world, Please bus travel in usa understand that killing during war is sad but it s real and please please please, stop comparing Che to Hitler... You sound, look, taste, smell and give the feeling of being an ignorant and you are because no etremist position displays intelligence.
By the way, the article says Che was a communist. This is false. Che became a communist Icon because Castro made him one. Che never agreed with communism being the system to be applied in Cuba. In fact, he disagreed with Castro and showed his disagreement in public. Do some research of the speeches (in video), do a little homework and stop sounding like a fool. Castro chose the communist system to be applied in Cuba AFTER he gained power, not before; get your facts right.
bus travel in usa The picture IS art, it is a mere game played by the artist meant to entertain and work the viewers mind. Viewers from the whole planet. And you, ignorant retrogrades only manage to see the trees when there is a whole forest in front of you. Cuba is not the center of the world, get used to it.
Regardless of whether you are Republican or Democrat, Che Guevara murdered in cold blood and had hundreds of men shot in Cuba just for not agreeing with the Castro regime. This is an insult to humanity not just to the Cuban people. How can W South Beach Hotel consider his picture art, they have a seven foot painting of Che Guevara why don t they put Hitlers picture up instead its basically bus travel in usa the same thing.
Cuba may be a small country, but it is the biggest country in the world for a lot of real Cubans . We are not comparing Hitler to Che, what we said is Che represents to the cuban community the same as Hitler does to the Jewish community and what the KKK is to the African Americans.So are you justifying the millions of Jews that were killed during WW II by hitler because it was conducted during a war? NETO you are very ignorant and uneducated, you have no knowledge of history. And Cuba is the center of the world for many of us.
I can understand all of the outrage people are feeling.. but the portrait is not Che. It is a Che like portrait of the artist Gavin Turk. When you compare the two you can see that the facial features are not the same. He also has a couple of other portraits mimicking other famous figures like Elvis for example. However, even though it is not the actual Che, the idea that they would hang this art in a place that is home to many people who have an emotional connection to the atrocities that were carried out by Guevara and Castro is way, way insensitive. It needs to come down.
The only reason the W South Beach took down the Che Guevara painting was due to Telemundo and the Miami Herald visiting them I believe they had no intention whatsoever on removing it and still are considering it art
This is a man that would shoot people point blank in the head without bus travel in usa any form of fair trial. He is the equivalent to an Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Hitler and other mad men that have sought to strip people bus travel in usa of their vested human rights of life, liberty and property. bus travel in usa They are disgusting cold blooded murderers. They should never be printed on art. Makes my stomach turn. Shame on the W for being so ignorant, unprincipled and immoral.
Would the W in New York hang an artist s portrait of Bin Laden? Maybe an artist s rendering of one of the plane s crashing into the twin towers? You know, because it s art and all... It is outrageous that the owner of this hotel would be that insensitive. I am almost inclined bus travel in usa to think that this is somehow a publicity bus travel in usa stunt. If my conspiracy theory is correct, I hope it backfires on them! I would not stay there. Plenty of nice hotels in the beach. I will black list this one.
Wait a minute... I just checked online and the Sheraton in San Juan, P.R. has a restaurant named Che s. On their website it states it is named after Che Guevara. So, I will just black list all Starwood Hotels!
It is very sad. Pop culture and media have manipulated and Sold the image of Guevara as rebellious and Trendy to ignorant youth, who buy and wear t-shirts, memorabilia, ect, bearing the face of a mass murderer... It s no different than wearing t-shirts covered with the nazi swatchka. I could not believe a large hotel like yours would be so ignorant to place this picture Miami Beach
