Why on earth would 'In Business', by all accounts a classy, intelligent magazine, insult her by turning her into Che Guevara on the cover of your magazine?! Your choice of design is so incomprehensible on so many levels that I'm not sure where to begin with my outrage. Che the guerilla was a Marxist, the living epitome of an anti-freedom, anti-capitalist movement -- the sworn enemy of the free market. The fact his effigy has become a best-selling T-Shirt all over the world would make any genuine dead Marxist turn in his grave. If Che and his comrades had had their way, there would be no such commercialism, for as their dear mentor Marx declared, "My object in life is to... destroy capitalism." A short history lesson that seems to have escaped your Editor and Art Director: The star emblazoning Paul's cap is a symbol of an ideology that saw, in less than half a century, the murder of as many as 100 million people. In the years following the communist rise to power in Cuba, Guevara and comrade Castro personally oversaw the brutal torture and execution of some 14,000 freedom fighters, who had first suffered under the fascist regime only to be denied liberty by a more virulent form of totalitarianism. I've included a link below that I implore you to visit, which will shed some light on the poster boy of arguably the most despicable ideology ever to infect the world. "Give the people what they want", cries your militantly typeset headline. That you think this was Guevara's intention is beyond ignorant. He may have rescued the people from a malevolence force, but instead of delivering them the freedoms for which they had bled, he simply assumed the office of the Baptista dictatorship and proceeded to institute his own brand of oppression. At least Baptista didn't pretend to be doing it for the greater good of the people. Paul says, "If you are going to go into business or be an entrepreneur, at some point you are going to fail. You can't have great success without great failure." Marxism just wants her to fail. When Paul first went on TV and made her fortune she was, according to Marx, feeding on the rotting corpse of capitalism. There couldn't be a more inappropriate defacing of a diehard marketer than to don her in the cap of a communist. Sincerely, G.
