A hero in the same sense that Che Guevara or even Pablo Escobar are considered heroes by some people.

So a hero in the dictionary sense of the word? In the sense of the commonly agreed upon definition?

The fact that you don't agree with a person's cause does not preclude them from being heroic. Pablo Escobar was a drug kingpin, but Che Guevera at least thought he was fighting for his people.
