In some ways I kind of appreciate it when the propaganda machine starts to focus on Nicaragua cos I actually researched it in a lot of detail for my undergrad dissertation thingie.
This was about 15 yrs ago now, and when I was studying them I was much more focused on the FSLN and associated movements up to the election in the 90's where they basically lost due to a decade of having an economic war as well as US sponsored terrorism strangling their ability to make good on their planned reforms. I'm afraid I wouldn't consider myself qualified enough to pass any kind of judgement on the modern movement.
what are the modern sandinistas like?
