More from Fidel Castro
"We are not against the American people. We are against the policies of the American government."
"The United States has no right to tell us what to do. We are a sovereign country. We are not a colony of the United States."
"The greatest danger threatening us is not that of being defeated, but that of being corrupted."
"United States will come to talk to us when they have a black president and the world has a Latin American pope."
"I have concluded – maybe a little late – that speeches must be short."
About Fidel Castro (1926-2016)
Cuban revolutionary who overthrew Batista in 1959 and led Cuba's communist state for 49 years through 11 US presidents. Closely associated with Che Guevara (his revolutionary partner) and Hugo Chávez (Latin American successor in Venezuela). For an intellectual contrast, see Ronald Reagan, Cold War US president — Reagan's hardline anti-communism and economic-warfare strategy made Cuba a test case for the entire late-Cold-War US foreign policy — the institutional power Castro's island state spent 49 years resisting.
