“I know you have come to kill me. Shoot coward, you are only going to kill a man.”
Guevara said this to a Bolivian soldier, Mario Teran, shortly before being assassinated at the age of 39 following a turbulent political life. One of the architects of Castro’s takeover of the Cuban government, the socialist revolutionary is a controversial figure, seen as a hero by some and villain by others. He is accused by some of ordering the deaths of hundreds of people imprisoned in Cuba during the revolution. He probably had no idea that he’d end up an iconic image on the T-shirts of millions of hipsters who likely have no idea who Guevara actually was.
