Fidel Castro

I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating... because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition.

No thieves, no traitors, no interventionists! This time the revolution is for real!

The revenues of Cuban state-run companies are used exclusively for the benefit of the people, to whom they belong.

The revolution is a dictatorship of the exploited against the exploiters.

Capitalism is using its money we socialists throw it away.

Men do not shape destiny, Destiny produces the man for the hour.

I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?

A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.

I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate, when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened.
