Fidel Castro Quotes On Revolution
“A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.” — Fidel Castro
“There is often talk of human rights, but it is also necessary to talk of the rights of humanity. Why should some people walk barefoot, so that others can travel in luxurious cars? Why should some live for thirty-five years, so that others can live for seventy years? Why should some be miserably poor, so that others can be hugely rich? I speak on behalf of the children in the world who do not have a piece of bread. I speak on the behalf of the sick who have no medicine, of those whose rights to life and human dignity have been denied.” ― Fidel Castro

“The solutions put forth by imperialism are the quintessence of simplicity.. When they speak of the problems of population and birth, they are in no way moved by concepts related to the interests of the family or of society.. Just when science and technology are making incredible advances in all fields, they resort to technology to suppress revolutions and ask the help of science to prevent population growth. In short, the peoples are not to make revolutions, and women are not to give birth. This sums up the philosophy of imperialism.” ― Fidel Castro

But I do not fear prison, as I do not fear the fury of the miserable tyrant who took the lives of 70 of my comrades. Condemn me. It does not matter. History will absolve me.” ― Fidel Castro
“I will never retire from politics, the revolution, or the ideas I have.” — Fidel Castro

“The revolution is a dictatorship of the exploited against the exploiters.” — Fidel Castro

One couldn’t speak of developed agriculture, but of immense plantations exploited on the base of manual and animal labour that in general used neither fertilizers nor machinery.” — Fidel Castro
“No thieves, no traitors, no interventionists! This time the revolution is for real!” — Fidel Castro
“For revolutionary Cubans, to cooperate with other poor and exploited peoples has always been a political principle and a duty towards humanity.” — Fidel Castro

“At times, I’ve referred to Christ’s miracles, and have said, ‘Well, Christ multiplied the fish and the loaves to feed the people. That is precisely what we want to do with the Revolution and socialism.'” — Fidel Castro
“The Revolution did not assume a socialist nature because of support from the U.S.S.R.; it was the other way around: support from the U.S.S.R. was produced by the socialist nature of the Cuban Revolution. To such a degree, that when the U.S.S.R. disappears, Cuba keeps on being socialist.” — Fidel Castro
