This might be a good opportunity to do some self-reflecting on your beliefs about the DPRK! When you observe that objective facts don't line up with your perception of this country, the correct thing to do is not to say "how can I twist what I'm observing into an explanation that will leave my perception unchallenged"; it's to say "perhaps my perception of this country is flawed" and re-evaluate

If you read more of Che's letters, you'll see that that one is written in exactly the same style as the rest of his letters, both those intended for only one person and those he knew would be shared. I think you're overstating the nature of Fidel and Che's disagreement; there were some ideological disagreements but I don't think there's any evidence to suggest that Che leaving Cuba to foment revolution had anything to do with his relationship to Fidel
