Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro delivered a valedictory speech Tuesday to the Communist Party that he put in power a half-century ago, telling party members he will soon die and exhorting them to help his ideas survive.
'I'll be 90 years old soon,' Castro said in his most extensive public appearance in years, adding: 'Soon I'll be like all the others.'
He went on: 'The time will come for all of us, but the ideas of the Cuban Communists will remain as proof on this planet that if they are worked at with fervor and dignity, they can produce the material and cultural goods that human beings need, and we need to fight without a truce to obtain them.'
Castro spoke as the government announced that his brother Raul will retain the Cuban Communist Party's highest post alongside his hardline second-in-command.

89 years and he forfeited his soul for communism and his pride?
What a fool!

'Soon I'll be like all the others.' All animals are equal, but for now, I'm still a little more equal than others.

He overthrew the previous government and has been titular head of Cuba for 57 years.
Pretty hard to say, at this point in time, that Fidel has not gotten the last laugh, the last word, etc.

He has a lot of support in the USA too, and another Castro may be V.P. on January 20, 2017.

Guess he gets to go answer for all the folks he’z oppressed and murdered over the years.
I just love Obozo went there to pal around with the Castros and they turn on him. Funny stuff it were not so....

He will have likely outlasted eleven presidents. Americans have long idolized Castro, but many were too shy to say so.

Mugabe and Castro make me think there may be some truth in that old expression: “Only the good die young”.
