"We do not believe in bourgeois democracy. We believe in the democracy of the people, of the workers, of the peasants."
"The greatest danger to the revolution is boredom."
"There is no more ridiculous or absurd idea than to believe that any man can be replaced."
"The revolution is a school for the people."
"I have reached the conclusion that the only way to defend the revolution is to make many enemies."
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.
