ELEVEN classic Fidel Castro quotes

The world woke up to the sad news of the passing of former Cuban president Fidel Castro at the age of 90.

Castro spearheaded a fight against poverty and capitalism and was known for his fiercely sharp talk against systems that were against the revolution.

Here are eleven of some of his most famous quotes:

1. The revolution is a dictatorship of the exploited against the exploiters.
2. A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.
3. 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.
4. Capitalism has neither the capacity, nor the morality, nor the ethics to solve the problems of poverty.
5. One of the greatest benefits of the revolution is that even our prostitutes are college graduates.
6. Men do not shape destiny, Destiny produces the man for the hour.
7. I am Fidel Castro and we have come to liberate Cuba.
8. Ideas do not need weapons.
9. Forgive me for using the term ‘fat little brother’ … It is not a criticism, rather a suggestion that he do some exercises and go on a diet, don’t you think? I’m doing this for the gentleman’s health.
10. Nothing in the world is irreversible, not even capitalism.
11. Condemn me, it does not matter: history will absolve me.

RIP Comrade.
