He is, was, and always will be in my mind a murderous scumbag. His friendship with Castro told me all I needed to know about both of them.

There was no contradiction except between the reality of the man and the fantasy that so many worship. He was a murdering psychopath. He abandoned wives and children in Mexico and Cuba. He hated most everyone, but reserved special vehemence for LGBT and youth, many of whom parade wearing his iconic image on their t-shirts. He was also an idiot. He was the only one fooled by a fireworks display and missed the battle at the Bay of Pigs. When he showed up late, he took out his vengeance in a tantrum directed at the prisoners. I could go on but I'd much rather piss on his grave if I could find it.

My wife escaped from communist Cuba in 1967 via Mexico and was later able to bring her parents out of the country via Mexico to the USA. Friends of my wife's families were politcal prisoners in Cuba and some died there.
Argentine Marxist revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara was a murderous thug who allied himself with Fidel Castro and helped lead the bloody Marxist revolution in Cuba. Afterwards he was exported to Africa and latter Bolivia where thankfully Bolivian Special forces captured and executed him on October 10, 1967.
Images: (1) 967-10 Last Moments of Ernest 'Che' Guevaro; (2) 1960s Che was very ‘brave’ when he was at La Cabaña Fortress murdering innocent civilians; (3) 1967-10 Che captured by Bolivian Special forces; (4) 1966 Cuban Revolutionaries getting ready for Bolivia
The left has tended to portray Che as a sympathetic revolutionary instead of the barbarous thus he was - the images of him with young children as opposed to the ones of him killing seem to be pushed. Che would have well into ISIS.

"BUTCHER OF LA CABANA
In 1961, La Cabana held a political prison for Fidel's enemies. Che was placed in charge of it. The following are accounts by prisoners.

"Several men who survived La Cabana prison recall a night when a 14-year-old boy was shoved into their holding cell. When asked what he did, he gasped that he had tried to defend his father from the firing squad, but was unsuccessful.
Moments later, guards dragged the boy out of the cell, and Che Guevara himself ordered the boy to kneel down.
The jailed men screamed "assassins!" and watched out of their cell window as Guevara took out his pistol, put the barrel to the back of the boy's neck, and fired." (1)

"There were about eight hundred prisoners in a space fit for no more than three hundred: former Batista military and police personnel, some journalists, a few businessmen and merchants. The revolutionary tribunal was made of militiamen. Che Guevara presided over the appellate court. He never overturned a sentence. I would visit those on death row at the galera de la muerte. A rumor went around that I hypnotized prisoners because many remained calm, so Che ordered that I be present at the executions. After I left in May, they executed many more, but I personally witnessed fifty-five executions. There was an American, Herman Marks, apparently a former convict. We called him “the butcher” because he enjoyed giving the order to shoot. I pleaded many times with Che on behalf of prisoners. I remember especially the case of Ariel Lima, a young boy. Che did not budge. Nor did Fidel, whom I visited. I became so traumatized that at the end of May 1959 I was ordered to leave the parish of Casa Blanca, where La Cabaña was located and where I had held Mass for three years. I went to Mexico for treatment. The day I left, Che told me we had both tried to bring one another to each other’s side and had failed. His last words were: "When we take our masks off, we will be enemies.'" (2)
Guevara is hugely popular among american teenagers yet ironically when he was alive he was detested and hunted by the American Government. The outspoken Argentinian repeatedly cried his hatred for imperialism and capitalism, two things the United States stood strongly by. During the Cuban Revolution, relations between the United States and Guevara worsened at an exponential rate. Che attacked the United States with his influential words, making their "democracy" a mockery in Cuba and constantly denouncing the government and economy. Guevara's movement for installing a communist government instilled fear into the United States as they saw communism as a threat because of their bad relations with the Soviet Union. The bad relationship between the United States and Che Guevara, which eventually led to the first killing the latter, should portray Che Guevara as a villain to United States citizens."
"Once more I was able to convince myself how criminal the capitalistic octopuses are. On a picture of our old and bewailed comrade Stalin, I swore not to rest before these capitalistic octopuses are destroyed."(I)
-Ernesto "Che" Guevara

Anti-Capitalist Che Guevara
Ernesto "Che" Guevara was famous for his anti-capitalist beliefs. The above quote is one of many things that Che had said against capitalism during his lifetime.

Che believed that followers of capitalism were blinded by the "seemingly infinite horizon" that they believe is in front of them, thinking nothing could go wrong.(II) In a letter to an editor in Uruguay, Che states, "In capitalist society individuals are controlled by a pitiless law usually beyond their comprehension."(III) He did not blame the people of a capitalist society for following the economic system of capitalism, but rather the leaders of the capitalist society. In his eyes, the leaders were only propagandists that make capitalism out to be better than what it truly is.(IV) He says that the propagandists are liars in how they show capitalism because they would leave the images of poverty and suffering that a capitalist society brought to some people in it.(V) Che preached his anti-capitalist beliefs everywhere he could. He did it in the letter to the editor in Uruguay, and also during the Cuban Revolution.(VI) After the victory of the Cuban Revolution, Che envisioned a formation of strictly anti-capitalist society, and wanted to make sure that Cuba did not fall into the lies he thought capitalism to be.(VII)
One of the things Che wanted most in his life was to watch capitalism fall, or destroy capitalism himself, as seen in the above quote."

When Che was surrounded by the CIA, Bolivian rebels wrote to Castro asking what they should do. Fidel asked them to do nothing. "Don't even give him an aspirin if he complains of a headache." Why? Because even Castro knew that Che was a liability. He sent Che on revolutionary missions to get him out of Cuba. The Africans sent him back complaining that Che thought he was Tarzan or something. Castro immediately sent him elsewhere. Even during the Cuban Revolution, it is recorded that Che complained that Castro wasn't sufficiently revolutionary. For as many victims as Castro ordered executed, Che wanted more.
