    People call him a murderer because people died in the revolution. But thats expected. Remember what Mao said, "The revolution is not a tea party". People are gonna die, sad but true. He never killed any innocent people. If anyone tells you that, their most likely some delusional right wing nut job.

    He was not in anyway racist. This is also just right wing propaganda. As a matter of fact, Che fought alongside sevaral afro-cubans during the revolution. He even visited Africa several times during his life, and helped out african comrades.

    He advocated Communism, which has illustratively failed time after time and many people died in his revolutions, but he was no monster and had strong views.

    I personally like what Subcomandante Marcos said stating he does not endorse him "I shit on all the revolutionary vanguards on this planet."

    The racism accusations come from sentence in his journal when he was younger, but he had obviously changed later in his life as Goblin had pointed out, he had went to the Congo to help the rebels against their oppressive imperialist government. The murderer comes from the fact that he was head of those executed for crimes including torture, rape, and murder when they won the war over Batista.

    As a Cuban I have a grudge but I hope I am as unbiased as possible... He executed prisoners of war himself (pretty bad), gave medicine to peasants (pretty good), helped Castro a homophobic purging poor economist come to power (very bad), he sucked at Guerrilla Warfare (lost 2/3 of the wars he fought in).
