Well Kevin, we have discussed this before on the list. However the short
version. From the very begining there was a choice for the leadership. They
time and again were looking for a "national democratic" revolution.
Something that is quite impossible in these days. Either you go all the way
with the workingclass and in this case the peasantry and try and spread it
thoughout the Americas or you lose.But it is better to lose as in the Paris
Commune then to build illusions in an election process that came about after
numerous years of grinding down the most militant cadres who fought and died
in the earlier periods before the elections.

Unfortunately there were people who were saying this when it all started.
However everybody jumped on the bandwagon and those who critised the
Sandinistas from the left were thrwn in jail..

Your hypothetical 30,000 is just ridiculous liberalism. In fact many more
then that are going to suffer and die because the leadership gave it away.
But you are to stupid to realise this obviously.

The above. Yes, yes, yes, is that clear enough for you. Naturally the Cubans
are faced with the same problem. Do you think they are going to lay down
there arms or die on the barricades? Because they can not defeat the
American military either. Niether could the Vietnamese. Nor the Mexican
indians. But it is better to fight a battle and lose. Then turn it over in
and election. And not only the Morenoites, but others not only in Nicaragua,
would have fought...

And there is a massive army in the Americas. The problem is that they have
leaderships that are constantly prepared to make a deal.
