Fidel Castro’s Greatest Interventions?
This is debateable but the following quotes would appear to be Castro’s classics, the permanent take-aways from the large textual warfare he waged on the global order from 1959 to 2016 before his death:
I never saw any contradictions between the ideas that sustain me and the ideas of that symbol, of that extra ordinary figure, (Jesus Christ)
Workers and farmers, this is the socialist and democratic revolution of the humble, with the humble and for the humble
One of the greatest benefits of the revolution is that even our prostitutes are college graduates
They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?
Just imagine what would happen in the world if the socialist community were to disappear…if this were possible and I don’t believe it is possible
