Yes, it’s once again Guy Fawkes Day, the day Balladeer’s Blog celebrates figures who became symbols of the exact opposite things they represented in their actual lives!
Guy Fawkes was a religious fanatic whose face became a symbol of resistance against a fictional theocratic dictatorship thanks to a comic book. Che Guevara was a murderous, homophobic, racist would-be dictator depicted as a symbol of youthful rebellion thanks to the spiteful cluelessness of Left-Wing Archie Bunkers.
Thank the forever-childish 1960s generation leftists for elevating such a repulsive and barely human creature to such heights. Even at HUFFINGTON POST the truth about blood-soaked animal Che has been written. Click HERE
Here are some actual quotes from hatemonger Che:
“Go ahead and try them tomorrow morning — but execute them NOW!”
“We must do away with all newspapers. A revolution cannot be accomplished with freedom of the press.”
“Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood.”
“We don’t need proof to execute a man. We only need proof that it’s necessary to execute him. A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.” (Note from Balladeer: Gee, I thought the poseurs and buffoons of the American Left said they’re AGAINST “hate.”)
“What we affirm is that we must proceed along the path of liberation even if this costs millions of atomic victims.”
Read more of this animal’s own words and you will see what a callous, unfeeling political fanatic this hate-filled scumbag was. He never wanted to overthrow dictatorships to help “the people”, he just wanted to overthrow them to install dictatorships more to his liking.
In other words, dictatorships that would let that bloodthirsty maniac kill as many people as he wanted. Che Guevara was a waste of biomass and was the exact opposite of what delusional and uninformed fools consider him to have been.
Oh, and by the way, Guevara spent WAY too much time contemplating and writing about his own body odor.
Thanks to V For Vendetta, one of Alan Moore’s many overrated comic books, masks of Guy Fawkes have become associated with Moore’s fictional freedom fighter who opposed the aforementioned theocratic dictatorship in a dystopian future.
In reality Guy Fawkes was plotting to enable the institution of a theocratic dictatorship. And you can’t claim Moore was trying to be ironic by going with a mask of Guy Fawkes. In one of his interviews about V For Vendetta Moore mentions how he and the artist he was collaborating with decided they would give Guy Fawkes “the image he always deserved.”
That comment made it clear that they bought into the vague notion of Fawkes as some sort of heroic rebel. People who despise Guy Fawkes for what he really was can at least get plenty of laughs at Fawkes’ likely reaction if he knew what he has come to symbolize.

I’ve heard of Guy Fawkes, never knew anything about him. Interesting.
Yes, he was an odd guy to say the least.
Great man, great thoughts. 🙏🤗👍
Thank you!
What great examples of the power of mythologising without some due-diligence across the centuries!
Thanks! You said it!

Logged, thank you!
Thanks for the truth about Che Guevara. He was also instrumental behind the UMAP Concentration Camps in Cuba 1960s where those opposed to Castro, the religious and the homosexuals as well as lesbians died or became crazy or became cerebrally castrated. Thanks to Privilege Rich College Educated White Children in North América, Europe, and the South Pacific, the truth was repressed.
Thank you for the comment! Che was such an animal and a maniac!
Check out UMAP and write an article. Check Duck Duck Go
Will do! I will go there tomorrow.
Thanks
Anytime!

Wow! I can’t compete with that!
😁😁😁😁yes you are not so smart 🤓
So true! 😀 😀
Yes
We don’t have that here, so it’s not a thing for us. 🇺🇸
I am slightly confused why everyone “celebrates” it? And why he was made to be set in history and tradition when was so bad??
I know OF him but I just learned about this whole celebration last year ✌️
It’s definitely different.
I understand. I’m from the U.S. but it seems like in Great Britain the notion of Guy Fawkes as a generic example of a “rebel” just caught on to a wild degree.
Yes I would say that… but at the time wasn’t there a lot of rebellion and unrest? Especially against the crown?
You’re absolutely right, and I agree it’s very strange that such a figure became remembered as a folk hero.
Well being American we don’t really have a baseline with rebellion against a crown…
But look at us currently – a lot of rebellion over everything … only takes one person to make a mark?
So the times and the situations and how people view that makes difference
It is strange though
Very nicely put!
