Fidelismo ("Fidelism" in English), otherwise known as Castroism, comprises of the personal beliefs of Fidel Castro, which were often anti-imperialist, Cuban nationalist,[1][2][3], supportive of Hispanidad, and later Marxism–Leninist.[4] Castro described two historical figures as being particular influences on his political viewpoints: the Cuban anti-imperialist revolutionary José Martí, and the German sociologist and theorist Karl Marx.[5] The thought of Che Guevara and Jules Régis Debray have also been important influences on Fidel Castro.[6][7]
Fidel Castro's personal beliefs changed throughout his life, and went through a great deal of development after the Cuban Revolution. In the aftermath of the 1959 revolution, Castro stated to Meet the Press, that: "I am not a communist", and that he was a "revolutionary idealist". In early 1961, Castro stated in a speech that: "What the imperialists cannot forgive us, is that we have made a Socialist revolution under their noses". This was his first announcement that his government was "socialist".[8][9][10] In December 1961, Castro said he was a Marxist–Leninist.[11][7][12]
