Comrade Che is a website dedicated to the memory of Marxist Revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara. The site was born when members of the Che-Lives.com message board became disenchanted with the forums, due to the large presence of Trotskyists, Anarchists and Libertarian Marxists and the hostility shown towards Stalinists by the moderators and Administrators. Because of this, the forums on Comradeche.com are dominated by Marxist-Leninists, although they do not ban or restrict members who have opposing political beliefs to them, so there are some anarchists and trotskyists registered as members to the forum.

Although attempts were made by the Comrade Che members to avoid conflict with Che-Lives.com, several "forum trolls" from Che-Lives came to disrupt the forums at various times. Che-lives.com also had the childish and sectarian policy of writing a script on their forums that automatically edited any links to comradeche.com or ernesto-guevara.com, replacing them with "www.fascistshithole.com," thus continuing Che-Live's policy of name-calling and division of unity among socialists.

Comrade Che had mostly genuine socialists, with a few non-socialists, and then a few more pesudo-socialists. The diverse and conflicting composition of the forum led to several waves of banning. The first wave of banning was directed primarily at Che-Lives users that made a habit of trolling the board. Mistakes were later admitted about these bannings, and several were unbanned in an act of good-faith. Another wave of banning occurred in order to clear the board of pseudo-socialists and those who had slandered the website and its members.

The end of the board occurred shortly after user "USSR" had been given administrative control of the website by the owner. "USSR" then planned to unban all those banned in a kind of " glasnost." Of course, this was unacceptable to the owner, as these members had been banned for a reason, and their renewed activity on the website would have destroyed it. Shortly after these members were unbanned, the owner deleted the website, and that was the end of comradeche.com
