Now, I'm no communist, but I am a fan of style for all.
And despite being remembered best for wearing a lopsided beret and a scraggly beard - the mark of his social alienation and the life he chose to lead in the name of freedom - Che Guevara was, in his youth, one stylish sonnuvabitch.
Che - real name Ernesto - has become an icon for the left wing militia and all those annoying, do-nothing student politicians, who think that wearing converse trainers make them look like a freedom fighter. His real life was more fascinating than the pretentious legend that has sprung from the facts.
Check him out: he might surprise you. In the meantime, enjoy this here picture of him aged 22. If only all revolutionaries were so cool...
