"The Nicaraguan people (libertarians)" Fail number one.
Many Nicaraguans point to the 1972 earthquake that devastated Managua as the final 'nail in the coffin' for Somoza [citation needed]. Some 75% of the city was destroyed, and Somoza's brazen corruption, mishandling of relief (which prompted Pittsburgh Pirates star Roberto Clemente to personally fly to Managua on December 31, 1972, a flight that ended in his tragic death) and refusal to really rebuild Managua flooded the ranks of the Sandinistas with young disaffected Nicaraguans who no longer had anything to lose[citation needed]: The January 1978 assasination of Pedro Joaquin Chamorro by the National Guard further propelled the Sandinistas forward in their struggle against Somoza by leading many middle and upper class Nicaraguans to see the Sandinistas as the only hope for ridding the country of the brutal Somoza regime. The Sandinistas, supported by many locals, elements of the Catholic Church[citation needed], regional and European governments and through large scale clandestine Soviet and Cuban assistance[2] took power in July of 1979. Somoza abandoned the country and his National Guardsmen, and eventually ended up in Paraguay, where he was assassinated in September of 1980 by members of the Argentinian Revolutionary Workers' Party[3]. The key large scale programs of the Sandinistas included a massive literacy campaign (March-August, 1980) and a sweeping agrarian reform that put land into the hands of many formerly landless peasants."
"Following their seizure of power, the Sandinistas ruled Nicaragua for roughly 12 years from 1979 to 1990, during which time they established *democratic elections* and a national constitution, among other sweeping *populist* reforms." Well, like your mother, your argumentation just got raped (first ass, then pussy). It was an effort-less raping (probably because your argumentation, much like your mother, was begging for it.)
So while not producing any evidence you contend that the popularly Sandinistas were as evil as the Contras because they hated the Contras as much as they hated the Sandinistas. You assume the Nicaraguans wanted a free market and copies of Atlas Shrugged for all. You assume that the Contras, unlike every other "totalitarian on the people, laissez-faire against the US companies"-fascists the CIA had funded uptil then, would be nicer to the Nicaraguans than the Sandinistas. Amusing. Then you use "extremist" as a derogatory term which is actually a compliment, especially when coming from you and you fail to admit that your country actually had to resort to direct terrorism (rather than proxy terrorism) to actually get the Sandinistas out in the '90s. "We love democracy so much we're going to make your lives miserable until you stop voting for the people that defended you against a Nicaraguan Mussolini, gave you democracy, literacy and all the other things you needed."
I have already admitted that the Sandinistas were bad. I have also shown that the other option was Americas subfascist solution, justifying Sandinista resistance. You only cause me a diminishing numbness in the stomach region now.
