"But this has rendered the role of revolutionary leadership among the masses more difficult. Political pluralism, the mixed economy, and the general traits of our revolution tend to sow confusion among the masses. There is not—nor could there be—an ideological project as clearly defined as the one that existed in Cuba.

"Our project is muddled and complicated, and muddled projects sow confusion among the masses."

Another argument used to justify the "mixed economy" is that the geopolitical context and the pressures of imperialism make it impossible to move forward toward a Cuban solution at this time.

Obviously, the objective of the U.S. goyernment is to avoid another Cuba. But its goal is also to overthrow the current Sandinista government. U.S. imperialism cannot tolerate a government that arms the workers and peasants, refuses to share political power with the capitalists, and holds high the anti-imperialist banner of national liberation for the entire continent.

The U.S. government will continue to exert pressure on the Nicaraguan government with the aim of ulti -mately overthrowing it. Reagan has called it a "cancer" that must be removed.

Hence, the danger of U.S. intervention is just as great now as it would be if capitalist property relations were overturned. What holds the U.S. government back is the mobilization of an armed people in Nicaragua and a deep awareness that 'a military intervention would create an explosive situation throughout Latin America.
