    "Personally, i think there's something admirable in his naive idealism."

    He introduced communism to Cuba, under a spell of Soviet Union achievements. By late 50's it was known for decades this was the system that had murdered multiples of what Hitler ever managed to kill.
    Idealism? Yes, and if he wasn't dumb, it seems obvious he was completely loco.
    It sure can be fascinating. A realistic movie on Che the mad killer he was - that story has great potential.
