  Carlos Fonseca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carlos Fonseca Amador (born June 23, 1936 - died November 7, 1976), a revolutionary, teacher and a founder of the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional ( FSLN, Sandinista National Liberation Front), was assassinated by the Guardia Nacional three years before the FSLN took power in Nicaragua.
Fonseca, who did not know the assassin nor had any knowledge of the assassination plot, was arrested by the Guardia Nacional and held for nearly two months.
Whereas Fonseca's revolutionary zeal increased in the aftermath of the ambush, the PSN became convinced that a revolution in Nicaragua was "impossible." Labelling Fonseca and other Nicaraguans who fought in the brigade as too "guerrilla-ist," the PSN expelled Fonseca and the others.

Carlos Fonseca Amador(2), the founder of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) of Nicaragua, was the organization's unchallenged leader and principal theoretician until his death in combat in late 1976.
Fonseca and other Sandinistas referred to the years between 1967 and 1974 as "the period of slow accumulation of cadres in silence." Even during the period when the FSLN was most isolated, Fonseca stressed the importance of building a political organization and not just training a guerrilla army.
Fonseca (1936-76) was the son of an unmarried domestic servant (Augustina Fonseca) and the well-to-do administrator of a Somoza enterprise.

 The Militant - April 4, 2005 -- Fonseca biography among titles presented at Havana book fair
Fonseca, one of the outstanding communist leaders of the 20th century, was the central founder and leader of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) until his death in combat in 1976.
Zimmermann explained that Fonseca was in Cuba during the October 1962 “missile” crisis, when working people mobilized massively to defend their revolution in face of U.S. preparations to invade the island.
Fonseca and his Nicaraguan comrades “witnessed directly the process of transformation here [in Havana] during the early years and the inevitable conflicts with U.S. imperialism,” she said.

 Matilde Zimmermann - Sandinista
Fonseca's second great contribution, brought out very effectively by Zimmermann, was the ascetic intensity that was so alluring to young militants, and seemed sufficient to maintain the unity of the organization during long periods of underground existence and near total political irrelevance.
Fonseca died, probably wounded in a fire-fight and then executed in cold blood, on his way to a jungle "summit meeting" he had delusionally called with the intention of bringing together all the leaders of the factions.
Her portrait of Fonseca reveals the ultra-conservative mores that, ironically, undergirded the self-discipline and commitment of revolutionaries like Fonseca, while making him something of a lovable, "square" father-figure to the "New Left" militants who started to rejuvenate the organization in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Nevertheless, Sandinista: Carlos Fonseca and the Nicaraguan Revolution is a remarkably objective study of Carlos Fonseca that both praises his revolutionary activities and participation in the overthrow of the Somoza regime, as well as points out inconsistences in Fonseca's logic and actions (p.
For example, whereas Fonseca was quick to blame the plight of Nicaragua's poor on capitalism and the symbiotic alliance between the brutal and corrupt Somoza regime and the US government, Zimmermann points out that Fonseca's childhood poverty was primarily the result of internal cultural factors.
Although Fonseca's father, Fausto Amador, was a member of the landed elite, Fonseca preferred to identify himself with his mother's humble social class.

To the Nicaraguan people, Carlos Fonseca was the unchallenged leader and theoretician of the Nicaraguan revolution.
Through Fonseca’s extant writings Carlos’ project will examine why the idea of Fonseca as a leader of the revolution was abandoned once the revolution was consolidated.
Carlos argues that Fonseca’s portrayal by scholars and propagandists has emphasized his role as a devout follower of Augusto Cesar Sandino.

Zimmerman states that her purpose for writing the text was “to try, through the central figure of Carlos Fonseca, to reconstruct the events and ideas that produced the FSLN and the revolution of 1979” (p.
As intellectual history, Zimmerman recounts Fonseca’s emphasis upon action versus theory and his ideological development is meticulously traced from his formal (high school and college) and informal (experiences abroad in Russia and Cuba) education to his association with social movements and political parties.
In contemporary Nicaragua Fonseca is a ghost of the past, relegated to the dustbin of history (though I believe that the neoliberal solution employed in Nicaragua since 1990 may “force” Fonseca’s apparition in the form of a revolutionary call to arms).

Carlos accompanied her on the piano in spare and elegant arrangements with a strong erudite flavor.
Nothing in that CD betrays the fact that the piano was recorded in Carlos' parents' living room, in a particularly noisy section of Rio (the piano was heaped with oriental rugs as makeshift insulation), or that Rita sang some of the songs in the apartment's guest lavatory.

Once in León, Fonseca "threw [him]self" into student activism, becoming editor in chief of a student newspaper and organized "the first all student cell of the PSN in Nicaragua." The short lived group organized the study of Marxist works, but recieved little support from the national party organization.
Between 1964 and 1966, the FSLN "concetrated on educational work and community organizing," creating literacy classes and campaigning to bring resources to working class neighborhoods in Managua.
