While we're on the topic of South American leftists, check out "The Allende Myth" at Chicago Boyz. Also, The New Republic, a liberal periodical but certainly one of the best political opinion journals out there, had an article in July 2005 about Che Guevara entitled "The Killing Machine: Che Guevara, from communist firebrand to capitalist brand" by Alvaro Vargas Llosa. Be sure to read that, too. It'll explain why Guevara is so popular to leftists, which is appalling to me. I'm not suggesting that these men are popular among Democrats and liberals, but (and I could be wrong) I don't feel the American Left does enough to dispel their popularity.
UPDATE: Todd Epp responds to my post.
