CTR+F and search for "el che"; my point is that his monicker, war name, nickname, or whatever, in spanish is El Che; The Che, not just Che. Thoughts?

May I suggest the account of the photo op is modified to reflect the fact that many who were present deny that the photo is genuine. This is reflected in the article on Rodriguez. This article might be an appropriate citation - https://www.dnaindia.com/world/report-documentary-alleges-last-photo-of-che-is-fake-1126943

There is a tendency on anti-Guevara websites to describe Eutimio Guerra as a "peasant army guide" who was murdered by Guevara. In reality he was a pro-Castrist guerrilla, acting mainly as a guide, who was executed after working with the government forces, which the guerrillas classified as treason. The episode is known principally from Guevara's diaries here where he is described as acting as a guide for the rebels, and is mentioned in Luther's Critical Lives, which states his role with the rebels was mainly as a guide. I have amended the text to show this. Boynamedsue (talk) 08:19, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why are the concentration camps he created for gay and disabled people left out of this article? Why is there no mention of his anti-black or anti-native racist rhetoric and policies? This article looks like it was written by some 19 year old hipster. WTF! (unsigned by IP)

The "concentration camps he created for gay and disabled people" didn't exist. There was some persecution of gay people by the Cuban government in the late 1960's, but Guevara was already outside of the country when this had started, so it can't reasonably be put in the article. It's worth remembering, this was at a time when the British government was still arresting people for homosexual activity.

Guevara's only anti-black statements on record are those he made as very young man when travelling through South America. For an Argentine man born in the 20's, he was about as anti-racist as it's possible to be. See here for an analysis. There is no record of any anti-black policies by Guevara, so no mention of this appears in the article.

As for mass murderer, yes, he killed deserters and traitors in cold blood. That is in the article. After the war he was responsible for executing members of the Batista forces who had committed atrocities. That's in the article. We could ask what the US and UK governments did to deserters and traitors during WWII? The answer is that they executed them. The trials of Batista's soldiers and secret police were explicitly modelled on the Nuremberg trials.

It's ok to disagree with Guevara without automatically believing everything negative that is written about him, this article is solidly based on the most reliable sources on Guevara written by respectable historians. If anything it leans a leans a little anti, as a lot of the academic scholarship in English has something of a right-wing bias, but wikipedia's job is to reflect the available scholarship.
