"Che Guevara was a complex historic figure. Honouring him commemorates some ideas, while deeply troubling for others."
exactly who is he deeply troubling? why are people like this? they are offended by the mere image of communism (i don't mean the image hung on the wall, i mean the image of che guevara being communist).
Do not click to see replies to that particular tweet, (CW extreme scumbaggery), but i will at least post the one funny:

a Maoist of the worst kind
There’s definitely worse, and he’s not a Maoist. Don’t some Maoists denounce him as a Khrushchevite revisionist or something?
To my understanding, Maoists believe the propaganda that the US used about the Cuban revolution, that they were just puppets of the evil "social imperialist" USSR.
Hoxha thought the Cubans were nationalist revisionists, but I don't think Che would be seen as a Khrushchevite except in the sense of working with the Soviets
I don't think Che would be seen as a Khrushchevite
Depends, do we have any photos of Che holding corn?
Ask them about fucking Washington next. They are "troubled" by the people who freed slaves much more than they are troubled by those who kept slaves.
Maybe certain medical students who feel pressured to drop out and engage in praxis? That would be an interesting twist.
EDIT: Need to word it to exclude Hakim and other comrades
He seems like the coolest guy in SMER: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%BDubo%C5%A1_Blaha
also I think I see a little Karl Marx bust at the very end of the video too (bottom right)
Lol yes, it's small bust of Marx:

And Che figure

It's cool that he puts up a picture of Che, but why is he in a social democrat party, if he likes Che?
It doesn’t matter, he now leads the country and probably wouldn’t have with the communist party. Unlike the democrats, it appears in is possible to shift this party left. Obviously this doesn’t mean they’ll shift to a planned economy or something, but there should be better policies.
You're right, I hope that he pushes Slovakia and his party to the left, so a revival of the Communist Party is possible
social imperialist is only marginally better, but it will split europe more so im feeling better
His Marxist credentials are decent, I don’t think he’s a social imperialist. I agree, regardless of if Slovakia goes full red it will be good to further divide Europe.
I mean he can read all the marx he wants, i just want to see if he walks the walks not just talks the talk
death to neoliberalism, return to Communist Czechoslovakia
He isn't the president though, what do you mean he leads the country? He's the deputy speaker of the parliament.
Fico was in the communist party too though. I think this is basically as far left as they can go while actually participating in the system. I think this is a very positive development overall.
Yeah I know, it's just I read that and thought he was the president so I went to check it out and couldn't find anything.
I couldn’t remember what the position was, I knew it wasn’t president, it’s still a leading position.
Who's the big bust? Text on the plaque is too blurry for me to read.
