Utilitarianism isn't an analytical framework, it's just a common sense framing of the objective of normative ethics. Do what results in the best world. I think Che would agree with Singer's main points, and if Singer had a correct understanding of reality, he'd advocate everyone be like Che.

The objective of most ethics isn’t to “do what results in the best world”. What makes up a “best world” is already complicated enough by itself to have generated entirely different schools of thought. And whether that’s a worthwhile goal is just as complex
