Che' read Marx , he was not a Marxist. The Communist Manifesto is a good plan if your taking over a nation. Marx started out as a devout Christian was perceived an Atheist and was in reality a devil worshiper as were  many secret societies. Che' was propagandized as a ruthless murderer. Many a British loyalist fled or were executed after the American Revolution it is a part of the revolutionary process. Che' sentenced them to death he was not standing out there with a gun on the firing squad. He did not mind killing for the "cause" and either did General George Washington. George used a sword much more brutal. Che's down fall came when he told the Soviet,s Cuba did not need them. He was not in Cuba when he said this, he was in another Soviet satellite,I'm thinking Egypt. This was not wise, and he was young. Upon his return to Cuba he was asked to leave by Castro, Che' went to spread revolution to oppressed peoples of the world with Castro's blessing and support. First was his failure in Africa, then his demise in Bolivia. His story in truth is great,and his message is.... Let's be realistic, try the impossible.
