I’m not quite sure what to think of this yet. A few months back I remember there was talk about a marxist winning an election in Sri Lanka, but now it looks like things are a lot more complicated than I’d thought. What do we think about this?

Tamils have lived on the Island for over 2000 years and their angst against the Republic is for issues in the last two centuries with land grabs and displacement targeted at them. Referring to them being “colonizers” is very irrelevant to the struggles in the country.
Which is why I said it was “literally ancient history” and went on to explain how and why they are not anti-colonialist.
