More from Fidel Castro
"The revolution is a science. The revolution is an art. The revolution is a philosophy."
"The greatest challenge is to maintain the purity of the revolution."
"All criticism is opposition. All opposition is counter-revolutionary."
"The revolution is a permanent struggle. The revolution is a permanent revolution."
"The United States has always been a friend of the Cuban people, but not of their government."
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.
