While I agree with what you said, Guevara did commit a number of atrocities. History tends to brush over them in order to use him as a symbol.

Weedle, in Australia the Liberal Party is the exact opposite of what American's would call Liberal. I can call myself an astronaut but it doesn't make it true. Words and labels aren't neccessarily indicative of facts. As for them being on good terms, so what? I'm friends with many people who have vastly different political and cultural views to myself. Being friends with a right wing conservative doesn't mean I'm one.

I also think you misunderstood what Richala was saying about capitalism, he wasn't saying that at that time it was spilling more blood, he was saying that over the course of history, it has spilt much more blood. We can't acurately measure that but it would seem to me that capitalism causes more immediate deaths while communism slowly wears the people down.
