In the early 80′s Xan Campos decided for himself that he was the 2nd coming for communist Cuba’s people and decided to launch a campaign to take over the United States and spread communism throughout the world.
His life was full of sadness and depression that eventually led to his loving parody of Che Guevara becoming a serious attempt at fighting for the communist cause and ultimately ended in his tragic death.
Xan was a quiet child born to an former Cuban baseball star and a farm girl. He grew up in poor Havana. His love for music never veered beyond being able to keenly listen and his love for sport never went beyond watching his father throw balls towards his chubby face.
Overweight and depressed he found a hero in the great Che Guevara and in ’79 at the age of 19 he decided he would do something with his life and go on the road reinacting Che’s greatest moments. The dodgy wig and spotty complexion did nothing for the show except push it into strange comedic obscurity which ultimately led to greater depression and a reliance on precription medication.
In May 1981, Xan, according to close sources, was a complete mess, but this is when his greatest moment came. Armed with a can of spray paint he went about amazing an army of locals to help row across the sea for the attack on the United States with the intention of bringing Communism to the mainland before embarking on a worldwide takeover.
This attempt failed but the cause continued for another 4 years. In 1985 he had enlisted 3 people and set sail for the USA for covert operations.
He was never seen again. A few strange internet consiracy theorists believe he made it and some have even recently said that he is party responsible for the recent election of the more socialist Barack Obama.
