“If you want to be against McCarthy, boys, you’ve got to be either a Communist or a cocksucker.”

—Sen. Joe McCarthy, helpfully explaining how the red scare and the lavender scare intersected with each other

The Sri Lankan mainstream media and foreign media repeatedly calling AKD a "Marxist" reminds me of this old tweet:

AKD and NPP is a lot more left than any USAmerican party because even their current fairly tame socialism evolved from a Marxist insurgency in the '80s and South Asia has a socialist bedrock. And I'm praying he won't turn out to be a disappointment like Biden and will actually hold some of these corrupt yahoos to account. But they're very much establishment liberals. "Marxist"—bitch they wouldn't pass muster with a Tumblr Tankie, sit down. 😂
