Why is Che Guevara so controversial?

ok, he exectued 200 or so Batista regime members that executed 20,000 during Batista's rule. It was the Cold War for god's sake security was a MAJOR issue, an execution of dissidents often occurs in all communist countries, China has the highest numbers on death row than any other country. Yes Che executed even teens, but Che got his final punishment through his death by firing squad. No leader is perfect.

Che was racist in his very young days, as a young Argentine, but as inspired by socialism, he ended segregation in Cuba, as an example he integrated a 'white-only' university, spoke against American segregation the KKK and the South African apartheid all BEFORE American civil rights victories.

Che was not a Soviet puppet, he was a grassroots revolutionary with NO ties with any major communistic organization or country beforehand. He left Cuba after he made the fatal foreign policy mistake of criticizing "Soviet Imperialism". Castro still kept his loyalty to the Soviet Union, but all Che saw was the same Imperialist endeavors and the corrupt Stalinism in the USSR. He said Soviet Russia had deviated from the true Marxist ways. that is one reason why he left Cuba, he also left because of the effect his mother's death had on him, and he decided to spread the socialist revolutions to the Congo and Bolivia. He was a downtrodden but still aspiring individual at that point. Because of Che's bad foreign policy decision, Castro really didn't want to associate himself or his country with Che anymore.

He actually believed he was doing a good thing by being a socialist revolutionary, he was not a Psychopath. He cared, his ideals were inspired by his travels in his early 20's throughout South America where he witnessed mass poverty. Socialism was a just a trend of the time, if Che saw the world today, he would see the failure of such a system and aspire to try something different.

His executions were a major vice to his rule, no leader is perfect, any human can be corrupt with power. Are you perfect? Can you handle the great responsibility it takes to lead a nation in the midst of a tense Cold War? He died by firing squad, he got what he deserved!

"Luke and 338 you are both extremely ignorant and no little about him or his life so your answers are pointless. why would you even say that i want answers from people who have an open mind and know or have studied about him or at least who aren't close minded and know other than just some facts"

well there you go

deny ignorance

RE:

Why is Che Guevara so controversial?

I personally consider him a hero and somebody that Latin American people should admire. But that's not important, I was wondering if somebody with a good amount of knowledge explained what his idealism was and what kind of government type he preferred. Most people are really bias about it so i...

To answer your question, Che Guevara. Although Malcolm x did reach more hearts, the influence of Che Guevara did reach further.

Che Guevara. Although Malcolm X did believe in violence, he didn't murder for his cause like Che. And i'm not a liberal arts student who wears a Che Guevara t-shirt.

It's not controversial, he was a soviet puppet who spread communism in south america. Meanwhile, the US financed local governments to stand against him. It was the cold war back then, and both the soviets and the US invested large amounts of money into south america to prevent the other side from gaining the territory. The Soviets gained Cuba and Venezuela and the US got Chile and Mexico. Other countries had both sides in them and they neither truly won.

"Che-inspired revolutions had the practical result of reinforcing brutal militarism and internecine conflict for many years."

"Alvaro Vargas Llosa of The Independent Institute has hypothesized that Guevara’s contemporary followers "delude themselves by clinging to a myth", while describing Guevara as "Marxist Puritan" who employed his rigid power to suppress dissent, while also operating as a "cold-blooded killing machine"

So douchebag college students would buy t-shirts with his face on them.

Guevara was a murdering psychopath.

>"the bullshit is here" - Guevara was a white guy from Argentina. Evidently, "truth" means dumbass in your language.

You consider him a hero and i know he put people up against the wall and had them executed for little to no reason. He was Hitler with less time to work. I can not believe that anyone can consider such a man a hero.
