    Ortega actually did the bad things, don’t defend the guy who corrupted and abandoned the Sandanista movement.

      if US media outlets are talking about him like this it’s for one reason

      Marxists understand that human political leadership in the imperial periphery, whether enlightened or tyrannical, will only be antagonized by empire for one single possible reason: it is getting in the way of market penetration. (source)

      you can make wild claims about “gunning down protestors” all you want I’ve heard similar bullshit about every US official enemy and have no reason to credit yours

        wild claims about “gunning down protestors”

        https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/18/nicaragua-amnesty-international-police-killings-daniel-ortega

        This is actually happening.

        if US media outlets are talking about him like this it’s for one reason

        if the US war machine or CIA topple machine gave a shit about Nicaragua, you’d see a shit ton more headlines. We’ve had mostly silence on the issue on the English speaking internet, compared to fake issues like Venezuela/Cuba/Iran/China.

          your evidence is a Guardian article sole-sourced from a western NGO?

              my spouse is a native citizen of Melmac and definitely not a bourgeois counterrevolutionary

                  WaPo is writing hit pieces because they care deeply about the Nicaraguan people, I am an adult who consumes media critically!
