Che was a man whom was a revolutionary. However his methods of attaining such revolution for the people are debatable. His actions were by no means moral but his goal was very much so. He wanted to help the Cuban people rebel against their oppressive government and give equality to every soul living on Cuban soil.
The common man before the revolution loved him. However, those whom already had power had come to hate him. He slaughtered not only the ones responsible for the oppressive dictatorship of Cuba, but their family and relatives as well. In this way, he spared none. Women and children were massacred, innocent people whom were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, and those whom were suspected of association lay dead in piles of mass graves.
Che's goals were noble, I just believe that his thought process to us is skewed. His methods were unnecessarily violent and his reasoning was not always based on moral values. To him, the result mattered more than the method of attaining it. To me, he wanted to be a symbol of revolution, the 'common man' whom rose up against the government, the rebel fighting an evil dictatorship. In this way, he was somewhat of a romantic. His romanticism really shows throughout his young years as well as his older.
