Fidel Castro
If we had paused to tell the people that we were Marxist-Leninists while we were on Pico Turquino and not yet strong, it is possible that we would never have been able to descend to the plains.
Fidel Castro
It would have been the easiest thing in the world for us to build those emplacements under the guise of something totally different and they would have never been discovered. The amazing thing was that they weren't discovered earlier. It was a question of carelessness, lack of foresight.
Fidel Castro
Ideas do not need weapons.
Fidel Castro
I neither will aspire to nor will I accept, the position of president of the council of state and commander in chief.
Fidel Castro
We are going to give a little something, a few little years more, to socialism, because socialism is defunct. It dies all by itself. The bad thing is that socialism, being a victim of its... Did I say socialism?
Fidel Castro
There is not Communism or Marxism, but representative democracy and social justice in a well-planned economy.
Fidel Castro
