I'm gonna edit the dream a little bit but overall it was basically this...

Story takes place before Fidel died, so let's say the early 2010s. Bank robber gets a hold of a Che biography and is so moved that he becomes a commie. Robber comes to adore Che. One day he sees Felix Rodriguez (the bastard who murdered Che) wearing Che's wristwatch like a trophy on TV during an interview. Our hero becomes overwhelmed with rage. He assembles his crew to steal the watch back. In my dream they just break into his house and beat the shit out of Rodriguez, so for an actual movie we might need to workshop that a bit. Then the crew goes to Havana and presents the watch to Fidel and Raul, who cry tears of joy.

Fin.

    Yes, but he's something as rare under capitalism as a popular cultural icon of violent redistribution of wealth. People remember him for taking from the rich and giving to the poor, not for the medieval monarchism thing. It would be foolish of us onthe left not to claim him as our own.

    And in a modern reboot the monarchism part wouldn't make sense anyways. Maybe modern Robin's thing could even be to restore a legitimate socialist government that was toppled by US imperialism?
