Default Che view on ideologies

I would like to know Che views on the ideologies on the left. From what I understand he was supportive of Marxism-Leninism.

yeah he was, but he was more so a fighter of imperialism, but then again thats coupled with with capitalism and its inherent nature to exploit. Before he departed Cuba , stripping his Cuban residency to venture into the depths of Bolivia, he traveled extensively, to the Congo, then to the Soviet Union and China. To my knowledge he was unimpressed by the Soviet Union's form of Socialism at the time when Nikita Khurshev was in power. Ironically however, Cuba was totally dependent on Soviet trade, thus causing an apparent split between Fidel who advocated the Soviets and Che who was impressed with the ' Chinese' at the time. To my knowledge he was astounded by the work ethic that most of the Chinese people had under Mao, and probably wanted the same for the Cuban people.

Too bad the Chinese helped the killers of Cuban soldiers in Africa. If he had his way, Che would have steered Cuba to the rocks.

Che for all of his greatness was not a politician and far to prone to rash emotion than a leader should be.

It should also be noted that his anti-imperialism included something to tri-continentalism, basically that the "third world" countries in the americas and on african and asia should be united against imperialism(the united states), basically internationalism. His goal under this theory was to create many 'vietnams' to fight the imperialists on all fronts so that imperialism could not adequately defend itself on any front.

Another idea of his was foquismo, or focoism. Basically his now pretty discredited idea was that a guerrilla movement could create its own conditions from a broader, popular revolution in ANY country, and that there did not have to be any other social/political conditions, except for a bare minimum, which he does not define.

there is absolutely no doubt Che was a marxist leninist and the same for his most trusted deputies. Well, I can only speak for the one I have met ... ORlando Borrego.

However, Che believed in self determination and was critical of the USSRs model of socialism. However, the USSR had strayed somewhat from Lenin.. so go figure!

The good thing about Che is he would support any revolutionary movement against colonialism, imperialism and capitalism

On the 'split' between the USSR and Cuba, or indeed Fidel and Che - these are not splits like the 'good Vs evil'... these are mere arguments which sit alongside each other and work in a co-operative fashion in order to progress humanity.
