Given the violence surrounding the events, did Che Guevara's revolutions have a positive effect on the countries in which he fought? Or, does the narrative of Che being a commie murderer actually hold water?

My mother is an artist and adores Che. She taught me a lot about him but it was always obviously spun in a positive way. Just curious what the consensus among the historians would be. Thanks!
