More from Fidel Castro
"I reached the conclusion that the only way to save the world was to organize it on a socialist basis. And that was when I became a Marxist-Leninist."
"I am not interested in personal power, I am interested in the power of the people."
"I ask your forgiveness for having fallen. To prevent speculation, I observe I have a fracture in the knee and maybe the arm too, I'm not sure."
"I have been a victim of lies and slander all my life."
"I am a Marxist-Leninist and I will be a Marxist-Leninist until the last day of my life."
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.
