Hello Kitty is these days as ubiquitous as Kordova’s famous portrait of Che Guevara (apparently the most reproduced picture in history!). Go to any flea market or store and you are as likely to find a Hello Kitty branded item as a Che one. Consumerism is spreading both the message of the revolution and cuteness. I love this Hello Kitty take on it. Guevara noted that a revolutionary must be able to feel love and tenderness in order for him to be effective. I, like many have said before me, believe that the best revolution worth fighting for is the revolution of love. Some would say freedom, some would say cuteness, and all would be correct. Why limit ourselves, we ought to be able to experience it all. Freedom breeds creativity as much as it does anything else. I would encourage us all to push out capacity to think, create and love.
