Che Guevara had become somewhat of a different man as he grew up and came out of his journey across South America. His travels made him what he was in the end. I believe he started off young and naive, then as he trecked around South America he saw how different governments worked and operated. He also saw what different people were like and how they were treated by their government. His ideology was centered around a utopian society, where everyone is on an even playing field and nobody is better than anybody else. But when this could not come true he went to what he thought to be the next best thing. That was the communist regime of Fidel Castro. I believe Castro put a facade over what his ruling would be like and that is what Che saw. I believe that Che helped people out, gave them hope and opportunity, but when is comes down to it, he caused destruction to a lot of people. He was the one who carried out the deaths to thousands of people and saw it as his duty to perform this task. Because of these tasks I feel his legacy will be tarnished even though I do believe he started off on good intentions.
