Must be a problem with the Chicago Boyz site. It was working earlier.

It looks like the entire site is down currently, not just that post.

The Sandinistas gained power in Nicaragua.

Ortega held it for about 10 years.

The world didn't end.

Fidel Castro has been holding power in Cuba for
50 years, the sun still shines in Miami.

The US national interest is served doing business
with the Communist Chinese (1947-Today).

Even if Allende turned into Che Guevera Junior,
the odds of lasting wasn't that long, and the odds
of not doing business were small.

Fidel Castro has been holding power in Cuba for 50 years, the sun still shines in Miami.

But Cuba is a totalitarian hellhole.
