Castro and his speeches

[Nas]

i dont care what they(the media) says about Castro , when he speaks he speaks its like he really means it , i had few opportunities to hear Castro but when i read his speech on the newspapers i can see how he is a true socialists

[socialistfuture]

one thing is for sure, whatever people think of him he can speak for a long time. speeches of 7 hours.... he is a great speaker. he is so fiery and has gestures and the lot. i would like to see him speak before he dies, i want to go to Cuba next year.

I wonder what the future has in store for Cuba and what she has in store for the future.

Hasta la victoria siepre!!!

[Red Guard]

I hope i get to see him speak when i visit Cuba this summer. :)

Viva Fidel!

I also like Castro's appearance in the movie Scarface at the beginning

when Castro said:
" No los Queremos !!!, No los nesesitamos!!! " which in English means "We dont want them, We dont need them"
he was refering to the Cubans who did not want socialism

[MiniOswald]

didnt he learn when he was younger from the styles of moussilini
he may have been evil but his charisma was second to non

[Fidel Castro]

Mussolini was a scumbag, but he was very charismatic and a passionate speaker. Fidel did indeed during his university days study Mussolini's style, realising how powerful speech can be as a means to unite and inspire the people.

[MiniOswald]

hooray, I knew I didnt dream that!
I would have bin a scary dream if I had

[socialistfuture]

a futher twist to the tale. Mussolini was a marxist when he was younger. wierd how people sometimes get into something and end out the polar opposite.

[SittingBull47]

he's an awesome, charismatic speaker. Just by watching him you can tell he has passion. I'd like to make it to one of his long speeches too.

[Fidel Castro]

Hopefully I'll hear him this summer. I will be talking with some government officials whilst in Cuba this summer, and also visiting schools and hospitals, so I'll make a note to report here what I find over there.

Yes, I heard something about that, strange how people can end up. Stalin at one point trained to become a priest, now THAT is wierd :blink:

I believe that was becuase his mother sent him becuase it was a way out of poverty, whilst ther though he came accross a copy of Das Kapital.

[Hate Is Art]

Hehe, Stalin as a priest, that would have been great!

[konev]

well Stalin was a horrible speaker, he read a speach like it was a railtime table, he lost himself all the time and he never got passionated about anything. If you want speaches www.Sovmusic.ru has a category whit many speaches by Stalin, Lenin, Berija, Kalinin and others. No Castro thou

On Sovmusic.ru there is a speach by Berija on Stalins funeral, if any russian member would care to translate it i would be most gratefull

[toastedmonkey]

on stalin the priest thing: i think it was his mother at his death said "if only he had become a priest"

[Misodoctakleidist]

Back to the topic of Castro's speaches; I have a book of his speaches from 1999 to 2002 and they were very good in content as well as, i presume, delivery.

[toastedmonkey]

ah yes castro speeches

heres a good link

Castro Speech Database (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/cb/cuba/castro.html)

[dark fairy]

castro may have good speaches ... they are sooooo long though...but full of meaning and truthfulness... but LONG

[konev]

when he held the longest speach in UN history he began whit "i know we are known to speak at great lenght in our country bt i will keep this brief" it lasted for 7(!!) hours

[toastedmonkey]

yeah that holds the record!

i seem to remember it was in retaliation to the americans there, who kept jeering the USSR when they spoke

[MiniOswald]

the UN needs to get some class control

[Fidel Castro]

the UN needs to get some class control

The UN needs to get some balls

[MiniOswald]

too tru all the countries are afraid of economic threats made by the U.S

[Mahdavikia]

You can read all his speeches on a cuban website ;-)

http://www.cuba.cu/gobierno/discursos/

Moreover, his speeches are translated in several languages (Español, Inglés, Francés, Portugués. Italiano, Ruso, Arabe, Alemán), it's very cool for non-spanich people :)

Yeah well look at what they did to Cuba. I find it horrible that the UK sides with those 'colonial rebels' to be honest. Those rebels lost them an empire, yet still they back them? Totally nonsenical to my mind.
