Pointing Out Fallacies Isn’t Revenge — It’s Necessary for Progress !

Some supporters of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) may feel personally attacked when their party's missteps are highlighted, but this isn’t about revenge.

It’s about truth and accountability.

The JVP is not part of the solution to our country's problems, largely because of their controversial history.

Their attempt to overthrow a democratically elected government during the 1971 uprising resulted in the deaths of thousands and significant property damage.

While some may romanticize this as a class struggle, I see it more as a caste struggle.

Just look at the backgrounds of the first 20 JVP members who were brought before the courts.

Moreover, the JVP's history is tainted by its opportunism.

They've propped up three corrupt regimes in exchange for positions and favours.

While the exact amounts of money that changed hands are known to only a few, businessman Dudley Sirisena recently hinted at such dealings.

So, if anyone believes the JVP can transform this country into a utopia, they should think again.

No country has ever achieved prosperity through Marxist economic policies.

The nations that have abandoned Marxism in favour of a free-market economy have proven beyond a doubt that it’s the better system.

Marxism, on the other hand, is a failed ideology.

We all want the best for this country.

But how do we achieve that?

The answer lies in individual reform.

Take a look at the state of our roads, for instance.

Despite the presence of countless cars, buses, and three-wheelers proclaiming support for AKD, has anyone seen any real improvement in the quality of life?

We’re too focused on blaming politicians when, in reality, we often use them for personal gain, only to criticize them when they fail to meet our expectations.

If we want change, we need to stop using the backdoor and let meritocracy prevail.

Looking at the political landscape, the raw numbers speak for themselves.

Anura Kumara Dissanayake (AKD) got 42, Sajith Premadasa (SP) secured 37, and Ranil Wickremesinghe (RW) garnered 12.

If RW and SP unite, the National People's Power (NPP) winning a majority is nothing more than a pipe dream.

They will likely find themselves where they belong, in the opposition.

And with no real mandate in Parliament, AKD will face a tough task ahead.
