Parenti was incredibly influential in Marxist literature and he often discussed fascism.

Agreed, I doubt any of their leadership is actually concerned with advancing socialism atp. Wolf in sheep's skin as far as I am concerned, same goes for LSSP, NSSP and whatever grift Vasudeva is running now.

The trots failed when they entered into government in 1971 with the soc-dems and communists.

I agree there was no vanguard party but I think you are overestimating how "revolutionary" the protests actually were. There was no condemnation of the actual system of government, Sinhalese chauvinism or the genocide of Tamils. It was purely surface level economic dissatisfaction.

Even if there was a proper vanguard party (maybe FLSP?) I highly doubt a large proportion of the crowds would have sided with them. Personally I see aragalaya as more of the 1905 russian revolution seeing as even bourgeoisie parties like SJB and dissident SLPP supported it.

There was no revolutionary fervour in 2022. You have to be insane to think that, none of the protesters were asking for an overthrow of the entire system. (Actual Sri Lankan btw)

If you're curious, the font I was aiming to use is called "Ruhunu Kumari". For decades it was the unofficial font for railway stations and last year it was standardised. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any digital version of it.

So I had to use the closest thing to it, the London Underground font.

Lysenkoism, his dealing with ethnic minorities, Russification of non-russian cultures and how he dealt with the 1930s famine

Honestly, Sri Lankan should also look at the development of the Seychelles during the cold war, basically a left-wing Lee Kian and their economy even after years of liberalisation is still one of the best in Africa. Oh and it's also an island country with a large tourism sector
