More from Fidel Castro
"I never saw a contradiction between my ideas and the ideas of that man, Jesus Christ."
"The revolution is irreversible."
"I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I just have to be myself."
"I find it amusing that the United States considers itself the defender of democracy when it has supported so many dictatorships."
"The United States has more than enough power to destroy us, but it cannot make us surrender."
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.
