If we're trying to analyze this, it's worth noting that Lenin is in the place of Judas.
On a personal level, Che was an admirable guy, but from a tactical and theoretical standpoint he was really misguided and it ultimately lead to his death. Lionizing him while villifying Fidel (it's conspicuous that Fidel is excluded here) is disparaging Che's greatest accomplishments in favor of glorified adventurism.
Would you mind elaborating? It's not that I don't believe you, but I always thought (perhaps mistakenly) that Che was known for being highly educated in ML theory and literally wrote the (or at least a) book on guerrilla tactics. Obviously he made some massive and ultimately fatal mistakes in Bolivia, but I thought that was more because he misunderstood the political situation (the material circumstances) there. Like, he was wrong about how things were and what was going on in Bolivia at that moment, but that it wasn't a failure in his understanding of theory or tactics so much as their misapplication to the specific circumstances. Is that incorrect? Am I just splitting hairs?
This video explains at the timestamp Che's theory and what were the problems with it, why his struggle didn't succeed outside of Cuba.
