摘要：In politics there have been many powerful symbols, but few have crossed over from politics into popular culture like Albert Korda’s photograph of the ‘heroic guerrilla’, Che Guevara. The image sells and has been emblazoned on a diverse range of objects from clothes to piggy banks. Guevara’s image has come to represent rebellion and has achieved a recognition that few political activists have. Yet Guevara’s life and works were hardly the sum of his so-called political achievements. Guevara was an enthusiastic and deluded Marxist revolutionary with a penchant for executions, making his status as a political hero questionable, particularly when there are so many more deserving.
