Talk:Che Guevara in fashion

A fact from Che Guevara in fashion appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 November 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that, referring to Che Guevara T-shirts and other clothing (jacket pictured), Aleida Guevara said that Che "probably would have been delighted to see his face on the breasts of so many beautiful women"?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/November.

A note[edit]

The image silkscreened on t-shirts dates to the early 1970s.--Wetman (talk) 01:44, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source to support that claim? If so, we could always apply that to the article. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 04:32, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Popularity due to economic troubles?[edit]

"The recent popularity of Che-related fashion has been attributed to economic troubles, which make Che's message more appealing" is a weird statement to make. Obviously whoever wrote this means that socialism in general becomes more popular/supported during economic trouble or instability. In support of this statement, Guevara's political ideology is very authoritarian, and authoritarianism is always more popular during political and economic instability, as has been shown many times throughout history, such as by Thomas Hobbes (like in Leviathan), so it makes sense that Guevara's ideas would be more popular during instability. However, I'm not sure that economic trouble is entirely the reason for the rise in Guevara's image in fashion. That idea is sorta contradicted later in the article with part of the quote 'They tend to be those who don't conform, who want more from society' implying Guevara's image in fashion is more to represent being against political conservatism or the status-quo. Obviously this would be quite different from simply supporting Guevara's ideas. Adamthedog (talk) 16:22, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
