More from Fidel Castro
"The most important quality of a leader is to be able to inspire confidence in his people."
"There is no other option than victory."
"The United States has a law that says if you are Cuban and you step on U.S. soil, you are immediately a U.S. citizen. And then they complain about illegal immigration."
"Socialism or death! This is our slogan, because we believe in socialism."
"I have never been a capitalist, nor will I ever be one."
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.
