Is Wuxi Life Magazine chicken of being shut down? Che T-shirts.

I went to Ronnie's Australian Pub, an Expat bar, last night with The King of Wuxi.  We briefly discussed the latest issue of Wuxi Life.  It was the King of Wuxi's contention that the operators of Wuxi Life are worried about being shut down so they tried to mute criticism of the local government and play down the Wuxi water crisis on their website and in the magazine.  The King of Wuxi went on to say that an editorial in the latest issue was apologetic to the point of being sycophantic.  Please!! Please!! Don't shut us down!!

On facebook, I have joined three groups:   Che Guevara was a murderer and your T-shirt is not cool, the Marc Steyn Appreciation Society and the Christopher Hitchens Appreciation Society.

I see people wear Che T-shirts all the time in Wuxi.  In many shops, you can buy these T-shirts alongside those bearing Cultural Revolution iconography.   To me  wearing a Che T-shirt is like wearing a shirt with Hitler's face on it or a swastika.  How can people take a nostalgic view of Evil? 

It is a sad world.  1989 should have been the dawning of a great era for humanity.  Socialism and Communism should have been put in the trash heap of history for ever, never to be recycled like Nazism and Fascism and Japanese Militarism were in 1945.   1989 was the year that these movements weren't shown to be wrong and evil.  But these ideas are coming back and in more virulent and uncivilized forms.   What is wrong with people?  Are the human motivations that allow the axis movements of WWII to grow always in the human heart?  Are the new manifestations of the Left in the forms of Hugo Chavez, the anti-globalism movement, and the Michael Moore crowd mutations of these human insanities?

  1. I agree, Che doesn't belong on t-shirts and pajamas. How about Ayn Rand tees...

    God of the Universe says
    wear a Hitler t-shirt

    proudly show your ignorance

    Stalin and Mao were much better killers, but at least Che killed 14 year olds for listening to Rock & Roll.

    God of the Universe loves
    Che Guevara t-shirts

    admire a butcher of men
    who killed less than Stalin
