‘Ché’ Guevara is a key icon to many people on the Left, because they think he was a good just because he opposed the USA. Yes, he did that, but he also was somewhat of a bloodthirsty gangster… who happened to hate the States.
Anyway, two days ago was the 45th anniversary of his death (no wonder that Evo Morales, Bolivian President, dedicated Hugo Chávez’ third reelection to the martyr).
Here is a non-comprehensive list of the known victims of Ernesto ‘el Ché’ Guevara:
