You have to use your common sense here. Were there any hooded radicals 
back in the early 1960s? Apparently some of the anarchist youth in the 
recent Greek rebellion were wearing hoods in the style of the Black 
Block. So instead of simply denouncing the youth as being too radical 
(in other words, refusing to toe the spineless line of the CP), the CP 
dragged Che Guevara into the equation because he is a hero to the people 
that were in the streets. That's my take on it, anyhow.
