Nicaragua: The revolution betrayed
A Freedom Socialist Community Discussion
Over four decades ago, the 1979 Sandinista Revolution ousted the hated Somoza regime, challenged U.S. imperialism and inspired workers and the oppressed around the globe. Today, the Sandinista National Liberation Front, in power for 20 years, has become its opposite, imprisoning former militants and outspoken critics, leaving freedom and hopes for socialism in the dust.
This conversation will explore how this betrayal occurred and focus on the lessons for today, especially for women, students, and indigenous people in our hemisphere.
Featuring:
Stephen Durham, Co-author of “On the nature of the Nicaraguan State” and coordinator of Freedom Socialist Party’s work with the Committee for Revolutionary International Regroupment
