FReepers were already aware he was a blood-thirsty wanna-be dictator.
Totally true. What Fontova says is that often the intelligent people know he was bad, but have no idea just how bad. Che was worse than anyone realizes.
I'm doing Indian take out, a couple and a third-wheel come in and sit near where I'm waiting, male member of the couple is wearing a Che shirt. On the way out, I wander by their table, and say "Good evening! Since you're wearing a Che t-shirt, I couldn't resist pointing out my version of that, since it's brand new. By the way, your guy is dead, the Berlin wall came down, and Communism is mostly gone. Y'all have a good night!"
Guy and the gal looked like deer in the headlights. The third-wheel guy "got it", and had a huge grin on his face, as I exited the scene.
