Abstract
Identifying 1990 as an historical watershed, this article studies the erosion of the Spanish American revolutionary's reliance on historical references rooted in an implicitly book-based culture as a justification for revolutionary violence. The argument takes as its point of departure Fidel Castro's speech 'La historia me absolverá' and traces how the understanding of history shared by Spanish American revolutionaries of the 1960s promoted an ideal of self-sacrifice. The Nicaraguan Revolution adopted these ideals of discipline, martyrdom and self-denial, but used them to promote a more overtly nationalist revolutionary agenda. Events after 1990 made the ideal of self-sacrifice more difficult to sustain. The article closes with an examination of the attempt of Subcomandante Marcos of the Zapatista movement to reinvent the revolutionary persona in an egalitarian, visually based postmodern culture, finding in Marcos's ideology a deeper compromise with Western liberalism than was visible in the writings of his predecessors.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
