I worked in Nicaragua and am very familiar with Sandino's movement. Although anarchism was a strong influence on both Sandino and the original Zapatista movement, the more important influence was radical bourgeois nationalism. Both Sandino and Zapata worked to establish alliances with the more leftist wing of traditional bourgeois parties. Both were unsuccessful in the long run.
