Things that are socially acceptable now weren't in the 1950s. Like being gay. Saying Thomas Jefferson wasn't a great president because he owned slaves. Things we find appalling today maybe weren't so taboo 50, 100, or 500 years ago. Che was a great example of the Grassroots nature of the Revolution and how the common man/woman could rise up against their oppressors.

I can think of about 25 others off the top of my head more oppressive than TPRC.
While not the best for an example, certainly not the most oppressive regime on the planet.
