More from Fidel Castro
"We are not politicians. We made our revolution to get the politicians out."
"The greatest danger to the revolution is not external aggression, but internal weakness."
"We are fighting for the freedom of our people, for the dignity of our nation."
"We do not know what a communist is. We do not know what socialism is. We are simply following our own path."
"I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating... because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition."
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.
