@Julian658
As far as I am concerned that is an exercise in futility. I am willing to offer a blanket "accept your point" that Fidel was genuine when he started and over the years morphed into what he did eventually become. It would be far more cynical than what I am willing to be, to acertain that he had a plan to become the shit dictator that he eventually did. For me, Che is a more enigmatic figure.
The problem with using these figures for symbology. For some, che represents comunism, for others it represents a rebel, yet others see a champion against the injustices of corrupt imperialistic systems, many others see a young terrorist, a violent radical, etc, etc, etc.
