Che and Castro followed the Marxist-Leninist-Trotskyist path of Marxism, but they place too much emphasis on Lenin for my taste.
Other than that, I do see Che and Castro as romantic icons of the 20th century. With all the fame Che has, I don't believe he's overrated; I only believe that people are too fucking idiotic to recognize something for its merits rather than its popularity. If Che was remembered for his ideals and actions, I believe he should be just as famous, and Castro should be just as iconic and loved as Guevara.
They showed the world that change can come out of a radical and swift overthrow of the current system. It was thanks to them that guerillas, both military and artistic, are considered effective.
