Che Guevara's birthplace put up for sale - Irony




The birthplace of the 20th Century leftist revolutionary icon Ernesto "Che" Guevara has been put up for sale in the Argentine city of Rosario.
Current owner Francisco Farruggia said he had bought the 240 sq m (2,580 sq ft) apartment in a neo-classical style building in the city centre in 2002.
He said he had wanted to turn it into a cultural centre, but the plan never materialised.
The Argentine businessman did not say what asking price he would put on.

Over the years, the building between Urquiza and Entre Ríos streets has attracted a number of illustrious visitors.
These included Uruguay's ex-President José Pepe Mujica, and the children of Fidel Castro, Cuba's revolutionary leader.
But perhaps the most famous visitor was Alberto Granados, who travelled with Che Guevara when he was a young doctor by motorcycle through South America in the 1950s.

Che Guevara wanted to spread revolution across South America
Che Guevara was born in a wealthy middle class family in 1928, but was later radicalised by the poverty and hunger he witnessed in South America.
He played a key role in the Cuban revolution in 1953-59, which overthrew dictator Fulgencio Batista.
Che Guevara then expressed his desire to spread revolution across South America and other developing nations.
From Cuba he travelled to Bolivia to lead forces rebelling against the government of President René Barrientos Ortuño.
With US assistance, the Bolivian army captured Che Guevara and his remaining fighters. He was executed on 9 October 1967 in the village of La Higuera, and his body was buried in a secret location.
In 1997, his remains were discovered, exhumed and returned to Cuba, where he was reburied.
The revolutionary still divides opinion as much today as he did in life.
His supporters see him as an example of commitment and self-sacrifice, his critics see a man they consider brutal and cruel
 
By the ghost of Steve Jobs, Apple, please. Please buy this place and import Chinese kids to build your shitty iPhones there just to save a few thousand a year on transportation costs.

It's the only way these commie faggots will learn.
 
The fact he also wasn't a fan of gays or darkies shows the biggest double standard exhibited by Marxist lowlives who idolize him, while calling every statue racist.

Che was also doctor and saw some geniunely fucked up shit, he didnt radicalize in neoliberal mansion, puts him bit above todays idiots.

LOL; no.

He was born asthmatic and he wanted to escape Argentina because it was too cold. He wanted to move to the Caribbean or any hotter area. So he was in Central America when he met an exiled commie woman who convinced him to join her revolution after they started a relationship. He later married her and then divorced her.

He also was born wealthy, but her mother was kicked out after she got pregnant before marriage. And her whole trip to S. America wasn't some awakening, it was the classical "spring break" travel of his time because he was bored studying medicine. During this infamous trip, the things he wrote were more like "fuck these indians, they smell bad".
 
They demolished Hitler's childhood home a while back, despite it being a fairly profitable tourist destination, IIRC. Che's lucky he's so popular with the governments and system he hated and wanted to destroy.
 
It'd be pretty funny if it got turned into a McDonalds or a Starbucks.
