Target Sells Che Guevara CD Case
Radical chic has hit the suburbs. Target is selling a Che Guevera CD case. An Investor’s Business Daily editorial reads:
Target, the retailer that distinguished itself last year by banning Salvation Army bell-ringers, has topped itself this yuletide by selling Che Guevara CD cases for a little tyrant-chic right under your tree.
The big box retailer has jumped onto the Guevara bandwagon, selling the murderous revolutionary’s image as if it had just turned its stores into Marxist rally stalls.
What next? Hitler backpacks? Pol Pot cookware? Pinochet pantyhose? Target gives this monster a pass, while using common sense on almost everything else it sells.
Communist figures and symbols have never been given the shame and revulsion Nazi symbols have. I’ve never understood that since Communists killed millions more than the Nazis ever did. Yet figures like Che are romanticized while Hitler is vilified.

It makes perfect sense. Don’t you get it? Guevara? A Marxman? TARGET? Think, McFly, think!
Anyway, i’ve never gone in for pop-revolutionary fashionwear; it’s all relative. If anything, the closest i’d get to wearing anything political other than my friend’s homemade anti-Bush “Mess With Texas” t-shirt would be, like, a “Mondale/Ferrarro ‘84″ t-shirt, because i’m ironically obsessed with losing team merchandise. Like, don’t you wish you could find a stray Buffalo Bills Super Bowl Champion hat that should have never gotten out of the box on the sideline after Scott Norwood missed the field goal? That’d be hot shit.
Anyway, it’s all relative. I’m sure there are parts of the world where American wear would be frowned on as “supporting mass murderers” too, considering the shady crap our government has pulled over the years.
