Lots of people followed them either because they were too stupid to realize what was being said was wrong, too lazy to do the research, too greedy to resist whatever crumbs fell from the Sandinista's table, or because they actually believed in what the Sandinistas had to offer.
Ultimately the people are to blame.
The same can be said for what is happening in the US right now. It's silly to blame Marx or Lenin or Gramsci or the Politburo.
Agreed. It’s the large number of lazy, ignorant, stupid people we have in the country today who will vote this dangerously far left scum into office.
