Like asking him if he was a racist homophobe then
https://humanprogress.org/the-truth-about-che-guevara-racist-homophobe-and-mass-murderer/
Hmm. Let's Google that.
Oh yes I'm sure this website is totally not super anti-communist drivel.
Here's a sourced rebuttal of this kind of slanted rightwinger crap. https://archive.is/Pjymk
By all accounts Cuba has an anti-gay past to reckon with like most nations. But that has little to do with Che.
And of the racism claims, there's a handy politifact article on that topic: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2013/apr/17/marco-rubio/did-che-guevara-write-extensively-about-superiorit/
I agree. I want to add this (old)reddit thread in r/AskHistorians about 'Was it the truth behind the critical controversy surrounding Che Guevara? Was Che a murderer, a homophobe, and racist who needs to be viewed much more critically?', it's a better and less biased source than the reactionary Cato Institute article.
A man who died undoing the sins of his early 20s. We all learn from our mistakes, Che made it his life's work to do better than his childhood prejudices.
Damn you're right, Che Guervara "was no angel." I guess this whole Marxism thing is just a waste of time, glad I have perfect choices to vote for here in America.
LOL
