::: I will say you see that a lot...groups appropriating historical figures to support their cause. Napoleon did it with Charlemagne, the modern Scottish nationalists do it with William Wallace, American Communists did it in the 1930s with Abraham Lincoln, the modern Tea Party movement does it with the Sons of Liberty. It's the whole, "Hey, this historical person or group is well loved, so if we manage to associate them with our movement, that'll make people like us better.--[[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] ([[User talk:Whizkid|talk]]) 20:55, 24 August 2016 (EDT)

::::Okay. Fair enough. Though, did he also hate the Communists as well, even if he did take money from them? If he did hate them, I find it unlikely he would have supported them (and besides, wouldn't making Nicaragua a proxy state of the USSR be just as bad as letting America run Nicaragua if not even worse? It would seem hypocritical to advocate Nicaragua being a proxy state of the USSR or even Red China yet denouncing America making Nicaragua a proxy state.).
