This was a huge upset to the corrupt Sri Lankan old-guard who never saw it coming. Hopefully he has a plan of action to rid the corrupt bloodsuckers from parliament and begin the hard work of restoring prosperity to the people of Sri Lanka. Power to the people!

        With this election and with Allende, there are two separate-but-related questions:

        1. Can a leftist party gain state power through elections?
        2. Can a leftist party that gained power through elections hold that power against reactionary attacks?

        Allende succeeding at #1 but failing at #2 does not mean every party that succeeds at #1 must fail at #2. It’s a question worth asking, but we have basically one data point.
