Great movie, propaganda only for shallowheads

This was a great movie (both parts) portraying the life and death of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. I can only feel sorry for people calling it a "communist propaganda film" (it's way more complex) as they're obviously too drawn into american imperialist propaganda themselves, as though anything to do with revolutions or left wing rebels is evil, bad, ugly and should be exterminated and stopped. Reviewers like masschamber remind me on each election why i never will elect anything remotely close to right wing parties, populists or so called "anti-communists" (which in most cases are far worse than what they oppose, as evidenced numerous times in worldwide right wing government, regimes and fascist military coups). They'd rather have fascist military dictatorships or even theocracies than anything different or too left wing around the world. That alone gives this movie an extra point as Soderbergh luckily doesn't fall into the anti-commie paranoia (which apparently still is alive), so typical of old day and now modern day "mccarthy-ites" like masschamber.
Viva Che, your spirit will always live with true revolutionaries and lefties, they will never be able to kill us all!
