Fidelismo or castrismo (Fidelism or castroism in English) is a Cuban school of thought and refers to the beliefs of the former president of Cuba, Fidel Castro, who was an anti-imperialist and nationalist revolutionary. Fidelismo is a political and social movement known worldwide that has influenced other schools of thought in Latin America and even in Africa. However, Castroism only exists in Cuba.
