Sandinistas?
They were coming into power in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. I remember well. Saw their surrogates in NM trying to stir up the natives in NM. Face to face.
I don’t see the Obama connection with them. It has been pretty quiet in Nicaragua as far as I can tell. It is now a pretty bad Commie crap hole. But it has been that way since the Commies took over.
It was an analogy,...
The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) is now a democratic socialist political party in Nicaragua.
Its members are called Sandinistas The party is named after Augusto César Sandino, who led the Nicaraguan resistance against the United States occupation of Nicaragua in the 1930s.
The FSLN overthrew Anastasio Somoza Debayle in 1979, ending the Somoza dynasty, and established a revolutionary government in its place. Following their seizure of power, the Sandinistas ruled Nicaragua from 1979 to 1990, first as part of a Junta of National Reconstruction. Following the resignation of centrist members from this Junta, the FSLN took exclusive power in March 1981. They instituted a policy of mass literacy, devoted significant resources to health care, and promoted gender equality, but came under international criticism for human rights abuses, mass execution and oppression of indigenous peoples.
