He was a communist. To understand what he stood for and what he believed in, you have to read communist litterature. I posted these a little while ago on "New to it all". If you want to know what he believed in, check these out: Courses of Marxism (http://www.oneparty.co.uk/index.html?http%3A//www.oneparty.co.uk/html/socclass.html), An ABC of Communism (http://www.oneparty.co.uk/index.html?http%3A//www.oneparty.co.uk/html/socclass.html),
The State And The Revolution (http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/index.htm)

To make it short: He wanted a society where people are not filled with greed but a society where everybody do what they think is best for the group as a whole, not of themselves.

No human being, least of all one as compleax as Guevara, can be explained in a brief summary. besides which, anyone's analysis of him could be totally in error.
Please remember, Communism, socialism, and Marxism are three entirely distinct paradigms.
In order to hope to get a feeling for what El Che really stood for, you have no choice but to read history and read Che.
It will help if you can read Spanish, because not everything has been translated. Besides, to understand another human being you have to be able to recognise their words from the heart, which is not impossible, but is much more difficult in transalation.
