Quote by Fidel Castro
The solutions put forth by imperialism are the quintessence of simplicity...When they speak of the problems of population and birth, they are in no way moved by concepts related to the interests of the family or of society...Just when science and technology are making incredible advances in all fields, they resort to technology to suppress revolutions and ask the help of science to prevent population growth. In short, the peoples are not to make revolutions, and women are not to give birth. This sums up the philosophy of imperialism.
Summary

It points out that imperialism disregards the well-being of families and society, choosing to exploit technology and science to suppress revolutions and limit population growth. The quote highlights imperialism's agenda to prevent social change and maintain control over both the peoples, who are discouraged from revolting, and women, who are discouraged from giving birth. Overall, it portrays imperialism as a philosophy that prioritizes maintaining power and stifles progress and freedom.
