The world has always known psychopathic tyrants who oppressed everything and everybody, but in our time they disguise themselves as champions of social justice.
Che Guevara (1928–67) occupies a special place in the pantheon of modern icons. Nobody quite embodies the chasm between romantic myth and historical reality as he does. His image—etched in Alberto Korda’s Guerrillero Heroico, with its windswept hair and resolute gaze—adorns T-shirts across Western campuses, universities, and protest marches. To rebellious but historically ignorant teenagers and activists, he represents the archetypal “freedom fighter”: a selfless doctor who abandoned privilege to champion the oppressed against imperialism. This perspective, steeped in adolescent idealism, casts Guevara as a symbol of anti-establishment defiance and social justice.
Yet this entire cult is a symptom of a broader anti-Western ideology that has metastasized in academia, media, and popular culture. It systematically demonizes the achievements of Western civilization—individual freedom, rule of law, property rights, and market-driven prosperity—while romanticizing violent revolutionaries who promise “equality” through coercion. As far as anything from genuine liberation, this ideology is about tearing down the West’s cultural confidence. It replaces empirical history with moral theater, where any firebrand opposing “imperialism” is granted saintly status, no matter the body count. Guevara exemplifies this inversion: he dedicated his life to revolutionary saviorism but never rose above terror.
A forensic approach to Guevara using the groundbreaking insights of Hervey M. Cleckley (as operationalized in PCL-R) reveals a fearless, predatory narcissist whose obsession with total domination mirrored that of history’s most destructive revolutionaries. Far from a liberator, he was a beast driven by hatred, ego, and a chilling disregard for human life; his legacy is one of repression, failure, and sadistic bloodshed.

The left plays this game of labeling people as oppressors or oppressed, yet their revolutionary leaders turn out to be the greatest oppressors by a huge margin.
Yet another reason I advocate for mandatory PCL-R testing of anyone in government.
You test high on the psychopath spectrum, yer out.
Che was a devil. May he burn in hell.

You test high on the psychopath spectrum, yer out.
Totally agree!
Now if we could just get the psychopaths in the three branches to enact a law to do this, enforce the law to do this, and support the Constitutionality of that law...
Yeah, umm...that appears to be the problem!
