He was completely unimportant. Being a communist mercenary in the backwoods of Cuba is not exactly a world-class achievement. And the fact that he was set up and eliminated by his own side is also nothing to brag about

I'd disagree with the claim, since he is basically one of the few communists that died before revealing what a complete bastard he was. And as such, he is the poster boy for people who like to pretend communism isn't a bloody-handed form of tyranny, doomed to failure. Unlike any of the revolutionairies that survived to rule, romantics can pretend that he is a saint, rather than a man.

Because he was a communist and a killer and no one really believes in the communist revolution anymore. Because there are millions of Cubans who suffer under his "legacy" and despise his memory. Those enough reasons?

Because he was a minor revolutionary fighting for a cause that was doomed from the start.
