Nothing says ‘Merry Christmas’ like a murderous Communist in a Santa hat

A company called makefield media is selling Christmas cards with Communist Che Guevara on it that say ‘Vive La Christmas!’  Nothing quite says ‘Merry Christmas’ like sending a Christmas card to people that has the image of  Dictator Fidel Castro’s chief Executioner does it?  Maybe it’s the Santa hat that makes it merry.  All this for only $9.95.  Didn’t Guevara despise Capitalism?

Here’s the ad:

cheamazoncardsA little about Che Guevara from World Affairs:

Che Guevara has the most effective public relations department on earth. The Argentine guerrilla and modern Cuba’s co-founding father has been fashioned into a hipster icon, a counter-cultural hero, an anti-establishment rebel, and a champion of the poor. As James Callaghan once put it, “A lie can be halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on.”

“Just as Jacobin Paris had Louis Antoine de Saint-Just,” wrote French historian Pascal Fontaine, “revolutionary Havana had Che Guevara, a Latin American version of Nechaev, the nineteenth century nihilist terrorist who inspired Dostoevsky’s The Devils. As Guevara wrote to a friend in 1957, ‘My ideological training means that I am one of those people who believe that the solution to the world’s problems is to be found behind the Iron Curtain.’…He was a great admirer of the Cultural Revolution [in China]. According to Regis Debray, ‘It was he and not Fidel who in 1960 invented Cuba’s first corrective work camp,’ or what the Americans would call a slave labor camp and the Russians called the gulag.”

Who would seriously send these out?
