Che Guevara also helped establish the first Cuban concentration camp in Guanahacabibes in 1960. This camp was the first of many. From the Nazis, the Cuban government also adapted the motto at Auschwitz, “Work sets you free,” changing it to “Work will make you men.” According to Álvaro Vargas Llosa, homosexuals, Jehova’s Witnesses, Afro-Cuban priests, and others who were believed to have committed a crime against revolutionary morals, were forced to work in these camps to correct their “anti-social behavior.” Many of them died; others were tortured or raped.
Guevara also espoused racist views. In his diary, he referred to black people as “those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing.” He also thought white Europeans were superior to people of African descent, and described Mexicans as “a band of illiterate Indians.”

Bay of Pigs, Phoenix Program, Iran Contra, Kiki Camarena, cont’d., what a list of achievements for Felix Rodriguez. A truly legendary POS.
There are also allegations the photo itself is fake.

Fact:
Félix Ismael Rodríguez is one of the main individuals accused of being both the intellectual author and direct perpetrator of the kidnapping, torture, and murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena “Kiki,” which occurred in Guadalajara on 1965. Several former DEA and CIA agents, as well as protected witnesses ranging from police officers and drug traffickers to officials on both the Mexican and U.S. sides, identify him as the man who was at the Lope de Vega house interrogating Camarena about what he knew regarding the links between the Guadalajara Cartel, the Contras, the Federal Security Directorate (DFS), the CIA, and drug trafficking.
Likewise, some also point to him as being a friend of Guadalajara Cartel leaders Rafael Caro Quintero and Ernesto Fonseca “Don Neto.”

The demonization of Che Guevara needs to be studied. Essentially every negative claim about him can be easily either disproven or explained, i.e. him being homophobic (in the 60s, shocker) where he eventually met with a gay man who taught him to live and let live. He’s a mass-murderer until you learn that his only direct kills are executions after finding traitors guilty in a court of law and the rest in the fog of war. He is a symbol of hope and change everywhere around the world except for the United States, because of course it’s the U.S., and I say that as an American.
The institutions that work to discredit him, like PragerU (who are notoriously imperialistic ultra-conservatives that are blatantly these things themselves), harp on the racism and homophobic aspects as if he never grew as a person, which is documented if you read past the first few paragraphs of whichever western propaganda piece that drove you to said conclusion in the first place.
Truly boggles the mind how us Americans are so easily convinced that almost every revolutionary in history was an irredeemable despot based off of their very miniscule shortfalls in comparison to the likes of folks like Henry Kissinger or Dick Cheney. Revolution cannot happen without violence. I don’t know why that seems to be so difficult to understand. It sucks but you cannot beat a violent system that works to oppress you through peaceful means. He wasn’t killed by the CIA for being “evil”, he was killed by them because he represented the only viable opposition to imperialism and capitalism in the west during that time period.
If you see this man’s face and your first thought isn’t ‘hope’, you are woefully ignorant to the reality of the geopolitics of that time. But you probably never stopped to wonder why he is universally considered a symbol of such everywhere else in the world, because America is the greatest country in the world, right?
