{{Cquote|[[Che Guevara]] is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom.}}
{{Cquote|The cause of Communism is the greatest cause in the history of mankind!}}
{{Cquote|There’s one place where (Fidel Castro’s) Cuba stands out head and shoulders above the rest – that is in its love for human rights and liberty!}}<ref>http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/humberto-fontova/caveat-on-nelson-mandela/</ref>
