More from Fidel Castro
"I never saw a contradiction between my ideas and the ideas of that man, Jesus Christ."
"I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating... because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition."
"I have never been a capitalist, nor will I ever be one."
"The imperialists will never forgive us for making a socialist revolution 90 miles from their coast."
"The revolution will be victorious, or it will be defeated, but it will never be betrayed."
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.
