Marxist-Leninist Popular Action Movement (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Popular Action Movement - Marxist-Leninist is a communist party in Nicaragua that surged out of a split from the Sandinista National Liberation Front in the early 1970s. Since 1985 it is officially named the Marxist-Leninist Party of Nicaragua, but the original name MAP-ML is far more known and has been used when participating in elections. One of the founders of MAP-ML, Marvin Ortega, had belonged to the national leadership of FSLN. MAP-ML built up a militant trade union activism and in 1978 it launched its own armed militias, Milicias Populares Antisomocistas. In the struggle against the Somoza regime, MILPAS forces fought under the command of the FSLN.
