<description>Guevara these days is countercultural revolutionary symbol. I highly doubt the people waving the flag want to kill tons of people. Guevara helped overthrow a US supported Dictator in Cuba, spoke out against Apartheid when it wasn&amp;#039;t popular to do so and executed lots of people in his positions of power. He did some good and some bad. Some people take the good parts of his message and use his face as a symbol for this message. Just like we idolize George Washington (a revolutionary against the british) with our $1 bill. Washington was no saint, but we take the good that he did and use it to accomodate the message we want to portray. You people need to read more.  Communist Party is legal because we&amp;#039;re in a democracy. As soon as you outlaw Communist parties, you&amp;#039;re no longer a democracy. It&amp;#039;s tough, but who said democracy was easy?  As for your rant against communism in general. It&amp;#039;s not false, but you just have to think of the context of that flag and the image on it to understand they likely don&amp;#039;t represent all that is bad with communism. Just like when I raise a US flag, I&amp;#039;m not promoting the hundreds of thousands of Native Americans who were eliminated over 100&amp;#039;s of years. Nor am I promoting slavery or the fact that the US has traditionally supported dictators when resources/money was on the line. </description>

<description>The only people who should truly be upset with illegal immigration are the American First Nations people. As their name suggests, they were here first and all our (white) ancestors who arrived from the 1500&amp;#039;s onwards are their illegal immigrants. I&amp;#039;d also suggest people take a page from their proverb, &amp;quot;Never Judge A Man Until You&amp;#039;ve Walked To Moons In His Moccasins&amp;quot;. Too many people here aren&amp;#039;t trying to take a step back and look at this from anyone but their own point of view. I challenge anyone here to live two months as a Mexican national living in this country, then tell us how many times you were pulled over for no reason, had white people make fun of your name, try to get a good job that pays well.  We also forget that our (white) families went through the exact same problems and challenges we&amp;#039;re seeing today with Mexican immigrants. I know all 4 quarters of my family came over (from 3 different Euro countries, 150-200 years ago) without any papers or ID and were stuck on an island for a while. Eventually they let us in. Just like they let the majority of your families in. A lot of the same challenges were happening then as they have now: Famine in Europe vs. Poverty in Mexico. Why were our families eventually let in? So that we could work in fields, factories and other low paying jobs that nobody else wanted to do. Eventually after we started getting better and better jobs, we added to the tax base, contributed to society and shunned immigrants that came after us. The same mistakes we made back then are happening again. We never learn.  Wake up. Think about where you came from. Think about the struggle your ancestors went through to get here. Then think about how similar your family was to the Mexican immigrants entering today. </description>
