Mike Hammer Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Commies using US made guns. Their political ideology was retarded but they recognized great firearms when they had them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've used a word I had to look up. IMHO, they were both quite hairy, wild and unkempt. It was part of their personas. Gotta love those revolutionaries...

He was directly responsible for thousands of murders, and indirectly for thousands more. He was killed while doing what he loved doing, murdering in the name of "Revolution", in a country he had ZERO ties with. He was there to rile up the indigenous population against the government. It didn't end well for him. Karl, 68coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpbcps Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 (edited) Here is another photo of Castro, with an insurgent behind him, armed with a Model of 1921. Novel way to attach the sling, between the barrel and the foregrip support. Edited January 8 by rpbcps Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpbcps Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 and this topic reminded me of the fashion a few years back, to wear t-shirts emblazoned with an image of Che.... I bought the t- shirt below, as a contra-fashion, at that time. It raised a few eyebrows. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill in VA Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 This is my favorite photo of Che. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS Collector Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 What sort of jacket is Che wearing in the first photo? IMO, it looks like a US WWII-era B-10 flight jacket . . . I think I can make out the US Army Air Corps logo and nomenclature on the upper left sleve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dillinger Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 So as we’re on the Che theme so to speak this is taken from the photo posted above taken by Anticus, Nicaraguan stamp celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution complete with model of 1921. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomk Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 I saw a very humorous version of the picture of Che on his deathbed (same as above) but the guy who is touching him wiggled his finger and Che's toes wiggled as of being tickled. I looked but couldn't find it. He's finally a good commie in this picture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice find Paul,👌 I wonder how many postage stamps produced in the last 100 years, around the world, featured a Model of 1921, or even a Model of 1928.

Socialism is based on the idea of "consequentialism", which is the idea that if something is considered to be good for society in general, then the government has the right to force it on the people. The USA was founded on the exact opposite idea: that individual liberty is sacred, and the government is forbidden by law to infringe on personal rights, which are enshrined in the Constitution. Seeing as how socialism planted 100+ million people in the ground in less than 100 years by democide and starvation, maybe consequentialism isn't that great of an idea. It's just a license to brutalize the public. The castro and che were nothing more than tyrannical, evil murderers, the same as any mafia.

It's very difficult to show sarcasm in text without actually putting the word in brackets. I'm no fan of Castro, Che, or any other commie for that matter. NYC is about to find out how "great" communism actually is. Not a single communist nation has had any success. Most have had some sort of revolution against "The Revolution" when the people came to their senses. The same goes for theocracies. Look at what's happening in Iran. I know, I'm preaching to the choir.... Edit: The Shah was no gem, but the current regime is far worse.

KD-F Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Disclaimer: i don’t support any Commie or Marxist beliefs, actions or countries! I do love America and I am SOOO thankful we can actually own Thompsons here!! I do think that was a very cool Thompson picture, even if they were both murderous thugs. The body on the slab, does appear to be Che Guevara…good riddance! However, the Thompson wielding dude with Castro is actually Camilo Cienfuegos. Still a commie thug, but cooler looking than Che. Camilo died mysteriously in a Cessna 310 plane water crash in 1959. Hope the Thompson wasn’t with him!! God Bless America!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People say so much weird stuff that it's easy to mistake sarcasm for someone being serious. I recently saw a comment someone made on the internet under a news story. The guy said that the reason that CNN has to lie so much is to counter FOX's lies. So therefore, CNN's lying is actually a noble deed and deserves praise. It's hard to believe that someone could write something that absurd, but I think he was being serious. But maybe he was joking? Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
