More from Fidel Castro
"We are revolutionary, not because we are interested in destroying, but because we are interested in building."
"I am a soldier of ideas."
"United States will come to talk to us when they have a black president and the world has a Latin American pope."
"The future belongs to the peoples, to the progressive and revolutionary forces."
"Good athletes do not know what tiredness is. They do not know what discouragement is. Good athletes only know what victory is."
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.
