+Although Lacerda supported Che Guevara's uprising in Bolivia, as Che's government and ideas were shown to oppose Trotskyism along with Che's expansionist policies were enough to turn Lacerda against Guevara's government. Lacerda became a major critique of Guevara's government and while his positions were radically opposed to other important members of the party, some say his position was vital to the survival of the PCB as a legitimate political force in Brazil during this time. To this day he remains a controversial figure with Brazilian communists.
