I know he was a very violent revolutionary, but do you have sources for him specifically targeting any of those people/groups? I know he oversaw the execution of a lot of people from the Batista government, but hadn’t heard of any specific targeting based on race, sexual orientation, or jobs.
Why are you wearing his tee-shirt

Motorcycle diaries he talks about all of it. Look into his writings the Hombre Nuevo. The UMAP camps that came from his actions.

The motorcycle diaries were written before any of his revolutionary actions, and pretty sure they didn’t involve murder. The new man was about sacrificing yourself for the revolution and being more interested in being productive for the new communist society, at least from my understanding. So don’t see how any of that was supporting the meme. The labor camps are absolutely fucked up, but I don’t think Che himself specifically wanted any of the people listed to be put in labor camps.
And it says he murdered those people which implies targeted killing. So misleading at best, and possibly intentionally misleading. He had enough flaws without making up shit.

Humans never learn. They have a bloody revolution to overthrow the dictator so they can install another dictator.

It baffles me how this guy became an icon.
Here’s a short video if anyone wants to learn about him

Symbols are easier than actual people. Nobody is just one thing, and complexity doesn’t travel well. Revolutionaries are either lionized or demonized, and so it becomes easier for the critics to ignore valid points while simultaneously being easier for the supporters to ignore atrocities. Rather than an objective, complete understanding of the man, you get polarized factions that don’t see each other as people.

Latin American hangs out with Westerner is the usual path.
Remember when the CIA fuded schools to teach Right Wing Death Squads and they put in a bunch of rightwing dictators because they’re scared of communism having a turn?
History is hilarious.

“The blacks, those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing, have seen their territory invaded by a new kind of slave: the Portuguese.”
“The poor man, apart from being a sexual pervert and a bore, had treated us well and given us ten soles each. Probably an invertido”
“The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity and drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving…”

Now picture all those people in MAGA hats still supporting Trump’s police violence campaigns in 2035 when Trump is still in office, and all the jokes are about elections and trying to get letters to places without them being read.

I made one with mickey mouse ears on him.
Back when Post-Modern stuff like that wasn’t considered Cultural Marxism or part of MAGAs claims about the trans agenda.
