※ Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz (1926~2016, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_Castro , https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004242 ) ; a Cuban communist revolutionary and politician who was the leader of Cuba from 1959 to 2011.
He served as prime minister from 1959 to 1976, president from 1976 to 2008, and first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba from 1965 until 2011. Ideologically a Marxist–Leninist and Cuban nationalist, under his administration Cuba became a one-party communist state; industry and business were nationalized, and socialist reforms were implemented throughout society.
After Batista's overthrow in 1959, Castro assumed military and political power as Cuba's prime minister.
Adopting a Marxist–Leninist model of development, Castro converted Cuba into a one-party, socialist state under Communist Party rule, the first in the Western Hemisphere.
Castro was the longest-serving non-royal head of state in the 20th and 21st centuries and polarized world opinion about his rule.
His supporters view him as a champion of socialism and anti-imperialism whose revolutionary government advanced economic and social justice while securing Cuba's independence from American hegemony. His critics view him as a dictator whose administration oversaw human rights abuses, the exodus of many Cubans, and the impoverishment of the country's economy.

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

We made our revolution to get the politicians out.

And I say, we prefer to die in heaven than survive in hell.
이 나라는 영적인 의미에서 천국이다.
나는 지옥에서 살아남는 것보다 천국에서 죽는 것을 택하겠다.
9. If religious feeling is put in opposition to social change, then it does become an opium, but if it is joined to the struggle for social change then it is a wonderful medicine.
종교적 감정이 사회 변화에 대립하게 되면 아편이 되지만, 사회 변화를 위한 투쟁과 결합하면 놀라운 약이 된다.
10. The first thing dictators do is finish free press, to establish censorship.
There is no doubt that a free press is the first enemy of dictatorship.
독재자들이 가장 먼저 하는 일은 언론의 자유를 말살하고 검열을 확립하는 것이다.
언론의 자유가 독재의 첫 번째 적이라는 것은 의심의 여지가 없다.
11. The revolution has no time for elections.
There is no more democratic government in Latin America than the revolutionary government.

12. I do not conceive of any manifestation of culture, of science, of art, as purposes in themselves.

13. 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.
사람은 자기 인생의 가장 빛나는 순간을 밝혀주던 불꽃이 약해지고 상태가 나빠지기 시작하는 나이를 넘어서 까지 사는 것은 좋지 않다고 생각된다.
14. 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.
나는 82명의 사람들과 함께 혁명을 시작했다.

Warfare is a tool of revolutionaries.
The important thing is the revolution.
The important thing is the revolutionary cause, revolutionary ideas, revolutionary objectives, revolutionary sentiments, revolutionary virtues!

전쟁은 혁명가들의 도구이다.
중요한 것은 혁명이다.
중요한 것은 혁명적 대의, 혁명적 사상, 혁명적 목표, 혁명적 정신, 혁명적 미덕이다!
16. I don't think that the contradictions between capitalism and socialism can be resolved by war.
This is no longer the age of the bow and arrow.
It's the nuclear age, and war can annihilate us all.
The only way to achieve solutions seems to be for the different social systems to coexist.
자본주의와 사회주의의 모순은 전쟁으로 해결될 수 없다고 생각한다.
활과 화살의 시대는 더 이상 아니다.
지금은 핵 시대이며, 전쟁은 우리 모두를 파멸 시킬 수도 있다.
해결책을 찾는 유일한 길은 서로 다른 사회 체제가 공존하는 것이다.
17. Fellow workers and peasants, this is the socialist and democratic revolution of the working people, with the working people, and for the working people.
And for this revolution of the working people, by the working people, and for the working people we are prepared to give our lives.
동료 노동자 여러분, 농민 여러분, 이것은 노동자 인민의, 노동자 인민과 함께하는, 노동자 인민을 위한 사회주의 민주 혁명입니다.
노동자 인민의, 노동자 인민에 의한, 노동자 인민을 위한 이 혁명을 위해 우리는 목숨을 바칠 준비가 되어 있습니다.
