Che Guevara: World Class Asshole

Our lionization of him does not speak well of us. While I don't endorse the author's not-so-veiled anti-Catholicism, but I do think his central point is important to remember: that Che wasn't the embodiment of freedom and social justice we've made him into, but rather a doctrinaire Marxist-Leninist and a cruel man who was, as much as any man, responsible for the nightmare that is revolutionary Cuba.
