Che's Ideology

I believe that Che's ideology or philosophy would be governed by the idea of socialism and the "greater good." Che was a staunch advocate of marxist philosophy and he lived his life by trying to demolish capitalism and spread socialism. Perhaps his downfall is the fact that he bought into the idea of socialism a bit too much. He had visions of a Utopia in which no one worked for a personal profit and everyone was invested in the interests of others. While this would certainly make for a better world, it is impractical to assume that such a world could exist. Che was too socialist for Fidel Castro as he advocated that Cuba should give away their wealth to countries in need. While altruistic, this idea was absurd and Castro was against such charity.
