But the Bolsheviks felt there was no alternative to the seizure of power by the authentic masses of workers, soldiers and peasants except capitulation and surrender. Of course, there are differences between the situation in Nicaragua today and what took place in October 1917. And now, look what is happening. In the meantime, the imperialist bourgeoisie is strengthening its position. It is uttering sweet words of conciliation to the revolutionary government in Nicaragua, but at the same time it is strengthening the Chamorro clique.
Time is still on the side of the revolution.
The options are admittedly narrow, but the course for saving the revolution is made clearer every day by the machinations of the imperialist bourgeoisie, which maintains a fraudulent conciliatory stance while at the same time strengthening wherever possible the counterrevolution headed by the Chamorro clique and supported by Washington, Wall Street and the Pentagon.
