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!
Damn, and actual Marxist Leninist party. Wonder how long before the inevitable coup.
Hopefully India won't play ball, considering the US has been encircling it with hostile regime changes and meddling even more than usual in its own internal issues. I've no doubt even Modi and the BJP, immensely flawed as they are, understand that the US is trying to tighten the noose on India, and dreams of using it like a massive nuclear Ukraine upon the Eurasian continent...
To make matters worse, Biden doesn't remember who Modi is! https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5746243

I am prepared for all Americans to suddenly be concerned with all the Sunnis in Sri Lanka or something

antielectorialists in shambles rn (/s I know how this could not happen in the west due to how entrenched the capitalists are and the institutions in place etc etc)
Although it would be nice if they could do anything, what about congress and/or other parts of the government that can block the president?
I know that if this happened in my country the president would either have to basically sell the country to get even mediocre laws passed, or more likely with the even farther right congress of now, would get impeached in no time, though I don't know how much of this applies to Sri Lanka.
It's probably going to be somewhat difficult for him to pull the country leftward except that he won by such a large margin they're saying he basically has a mandate. So we'll see how that works out I guess.
On the periphery of the empire perhaps, but not in the core it sure doesn't.
