There was a recent TV show that depicted the main character's Cuban grandmother scolding her white landlord for wearing a Che shirt, describing Che as "The Hitler of Cuba."
The landlord learns his lesson, apologizes, and promises to never wear it again.
"Mr Iglesias" had a moment like this but it was actually really weird and I'm not sure what the writers intentions were?
So this show is about Gabriel Iglesias being a teacher to a bunch of kids in remedial history. The school adopts a clear packpacks policy and the kids start protesting it. The super smart SJW girl who you're usually supposed to agree/sympathize with has a Che Guevera sign at the protest. The shitty asshole vice principal character who everyone hates and mocks except for occasional everyone loves each other moments says "I'm a Cuban-American and your protest is just as misguided as Che was". And the sjw girl is like taken aback and doesn't say anything. And then Gabriel says something about how the VIce Principal is just jealous of Che for his hat or something? So like, this whole thing seems to be pro-Che right? Especially since the show clearly sides with the students on the clear backpacks issue.
BUT, the Vice Principal's actor (the guy who played Oscar on the Office) delivers the line with such out of character sincerity and earnestness that I'm not sure if the writers were actually intending us to agree with him despite of how it makes no sense to do so within the context of the episode or like... the way the characters are usually portrayed? Or maybe Oscar from the Office delivered the line with sincerity and earnestness because HE agrees with it and it had nothing to do with the writers or directors? Or maybe i'm just assuming a Netflix show would be anti-communist and looking for reasons why an actually based moment isnt based?
But I can't get over the actor's delivery...
ETA: Its also a very sloppy and bad show that I only watched because my roommate rewatches it once a month because its one of his safety pieces of media that he rewatches once a month, so its like, totally reasonable to believe that they were just THAT sloppy about sending an anticommunist message that they had the character everyone hates deliver it to the character you're supposed to like.

Wait, if Che is the Hitler of Cuba, what does that make Castro lmao
Communism is the most evil thing ever.
Only the most evil man ever would do the most evil thing ever.
Hitler was the most evil man ever.
All communists are literally Hitler.
