What do you guys think of him? Did he had a good idea? Or you think he was just full of himself?

I think he was a radical leftist, and I believe radicalism for anything is dangerous for everything. But I would support his attempted overthrow of radical right wing governments, like Cuba's Batista.. of course a right wing government supported by the United States.

General Batista was not a "radical right-wing" demagogue. he was just another a military strongman that people hated for various reasons...and wtf is a "radical right-wing government"?
Guevara was a dick. anybody that wears his image on their person should be kicked in the vag.

Batista was a brutal dictator, much worse than Castro. Guevara was Castro's right hand man responsible for killing the people that Cuban state considered to be enemies of the state. He was the executioner, so to say.

I laugh when I see people wearing the shirt who are just totally clueless as to who the man really was...

I remember reading somewhere that when he came to Yugoslavia, he was always hung over and late for meetings with Yu officials because he always got drunk with hookers the night before

I never said he was a demagogue. The military tends to be on the right when it comes to military dictatorships. Batista is not different. A radical right-wing government is opposite of a radical left-wing government..sigh..it's not that hard..
Radical Right Governments
1. General Pinochet's Chile
2. Hitler's Germany
3. Mussolini's Italy
4. Shah Pahlavi's Iran
5. Saud Family's Saudi Arabia
Radical Left Governments
1. Stalin's Russia
2. Mao's China
3. Pol Pot's Cambodia
4. Kim's North Korea
5. Castro's Cuba

far right, radical right aren't very descriptive when refering to a government's political philosopies. in fact the terms can be very deceptive in that the very political movements that are responsible for siezing the power are equally and ultimately deceptive to the populace as well. like Hitler's Germany or Mussolini's Italy.
and yes, Islamic Theocracies and and Monarchies are radical right wing. i don't count them though.
