Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, an Argentine revolutionary who played a part in the Cuban revolution, and was executed by the Bolivians.
Recipient of the largest cult of people who hardly know what he did in history. Regarded as 'cool' by thousands, maybe millions, of people who don't even know that 'Che' wasn't his real name. Marxist bloke, liked chess.
I'm not American, but yes.

Yes. Native of Argentina, first served as a doctor in the Castro revolution, then became a fighter who slaughtered 1000s of Cubans who did not agree with what was taking place. Caught and shot shortly thereafter in Bolivia.

He was a Cuban Revolutionary who first began as a doctor but when he saw the injustices that were being done to poverty stricken Latin-Americans, he stood up to make a change and has been an Iconic-figure ever since!

He was a revolutionary socialist who helped Castro get Cuba and then I believe Guevara was killed in Boliva in either 1966 or 1967.

Of course. There are little 'shrines' to him all over California, though I'm not sure why. Wasn't he a Marxist of some sort? I know he was originally from Argentina but somehow ended up fighting in Cuba.
We also have little tributes to Caesar Chavez all of California. I think anyone of any note, good or bad, who is from South of the border qualifies as a hero in California, regardless of their underlying philosophy.

Why would I care if they don't have to do with America?
