You got the T-shirt, now buy the hair
MIAMI — A former CIA operative and Cuban exile plans to auction what he says is a lock of Che Guevara's hair, snipped before the Argentinean revolutionary and friend of Fidel Castro was buried in 1967.
It's the next best thing to filling your backyard pool with formaldehyde and floating Lenin in there. Build yourself a reliquary from the gold teeth of dead capitalists, and keep it safe.
Too bad the families of some of Che's victims didn't get to collect similar mementos of their loved ones.

Are the batteries on your ironymeter running low?
Auctioning to the highest bidder is of course typical capitalist imperialist running dog strategy, whereas a true communist like Ernesto would of course donate it to the People without dirtying his hands with money.

"So many workers, so little hair."
"Hey, dude, check it out! I have half a flake of Che Guevara's dandruff!"
