Johnny,
I really enjoyed reading your post. Your summary of Che Guevara life was helpful to my understanding of who and how he developed into the person he is remembered as. You bring up a good point about the Che Guevara store, it basically against everything he stood for. The commercialization of his ideas for profit is a perfect example of how capitalism twisted his ideas. I believe that he would not want this store to sell merch of him.
I totally agree with your perspective but I would like to play the role of the critical thinker. On the other end, by selling his merch his life/legacy continues to live on. His ideas will never die. He will always be remembered as a hero in history by putting him on merch. It gets to a point where his ideas and himself, as a person, becomes trendy. Buying the shirts allows people to take a stance and show their support for him.
