#2 It's not a bad idea. Perhaps they should start with dismantling their militaries like Costa Rica did. Nicaragua should start first since they have the bloodiest record and after all it's Ortega's idea.

#3 the left-leaning Bolivarian pact between Cuba, Venezuela and Bolivia.

#4 I don't know who was in charge there when I got busted by the sandinistas in January 1980 for "spying" eg anchoring too close to the beach in bad weather, but they had seized most private property by then and "solved" their unemployment problem by conscripting all males into the army. The soldiers took the place of traffic signals (4 to each intersection) as there was no electricity and no businesses were open. They released us upon learning we were merely storm tossed sailors.
