#81 - COMANDANTE AMIGO: Mythologies and Mystifications of Ernesto “Che” Guevara

Dimitri and Khalid launch a daredevil guerrilla operation to rescue the image of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara from the Hot Topic t-shirt rack, including: Steven Soderbergh’s surprisingly faithful “Che” films, the little-known Guevara-Lynch family history in gold rush-era San Francisco, getting radicalized by the 1954 CIA coup against Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala, why the fuck Swedish Nazi industrialist Axel Wenner-Gren (allegedly) sold his Granma yacht to Fidel, Che’s ethical guerrilla warfare, his bold but ill-fated plan to spark revolutions across the South American continent, and arch-CIA sicko Felix Rodriguez’s own recollections of hunting down and killing Che in Bolivia in 1967.
