This is the current President of Cuba, Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz. He was famous for leading a revolution overthrowing
Fulgencio Batista in 1959, following by organizing and train for the
guerrilla invasion of Cuba that took place in December 1956, the
Bay of Pigs invasion, etc.

Commonly known as
Che Guevara or El Che, quite a handsome fella, also a medic, a socialist as well as a Marxist-revolutionary political figure. If you think you have seen his picture somewhere, that will be prints for some Punk/Rock t-shirts. This picture above was entitled Guerrillero heroico (Heroic Warrior). It is a famous 20th century heroic icon.

So, it's not just about punk or rock at all, he is in fact has become an icon/symbol of rebellious youth. Come to think about it, he actually came from a well-to-do family background. He was the smartest officer in Fidel's army. He was agrressive and hated cowards, intolerance to manifestations of weakness and has a strong determination of achieving goals. During all his achievements, struggles and pain; never said a bad word of the people who betrayed him. He was even being respected by his friends and foes. Much of a respected person that you'll hardly find in times like ours, that is why he is an icon of rebellious youth these days!
