Is this guy cool? Does he have any capacity to spread socialism to Sri Lanka? What's the current state of politics in the country?

      Nepal is the country that overthrew their monarchy in the 2000s under an alliance of largely MLs and MLMs.

      Laos is the country that has been ruled by a ML party since 1975.

      Sri Lanka doesn't really have any history in common with either of these in the last century, it's just as far from each as they are from each other. Any political overlapping thread with Nepal was over 100 years ago, and small.
