Sarath De Alwis<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cOne definition of evil is to fail to recognize the humanity in the other: to see a person as an object or tool, something to be used.\u201d<\/p>\n

The observation appears in the book \u2018The fish that ate the whale: Life and times of America\u2019s Banana king\u201d \u2013 the life story of Samuel Zemurray, the banana mogul who went from penniless roadside banana peddler in New Orleans to kingmaker of the Republic of Honduras and\u00a0 <\/span>inspirer\u00a0 <\/span>of the adage \u2018Banana Republic.\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Picking up roadside peddlers to perform errands is a tricky business as we are discovering today.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

This is an easy-peasy, elementary effort of an ordinary citizen to comprehend the mad scramble for power among the political class.<\/p>\n

It is undertaken in the belief that the crisis we face is an opportunity to reject the family kleptocracy of Mahinda Rajapaksa<\/a> and the\u00a0<\/span>corporatist kleptocracy of Ranil Wickremesinghe<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We must treat President Maithripala Sirisena<\/a> kindly. We the people promoted the man beyond his capacity. For three years we were either complicit in or were indifferent to the quiet buildup of a pseudo presidential persona that depicted him as staggeringly successful beyond his worth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Any person with a cursory understanding of the Freudian theory of personality – that of id, ego and super ego will forgive him for his present day penchant to exude an\u00a0 <\/span>atrocious arrogance that far exceeds his achievements.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a silver lining in all this madness. A silent, substantial and sane segment of our polity now realize the stockpile of wisdom contained in the rhetoric used by Dr. N.M Perera to warn us on the inherent peril of the executive presidency. \u2018What if a mad man becomes the president.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That NM\u2019s virologist nephew Tissa Vitarana has been bitten by the loony virus is a subject for another day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We often make the mistake of interpreting the polarization of a few and select power groups or political parties as reflecting a great polarization of\u00a0 <\/span>society as a whole.<\/p>\n

For example, Mahinda does not represent Sinhala-Buddhist opinion. He has most of the Sangha in his wallet. We confuse the two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mahinda gave diplomatic passports to prominent Buddhist monks. For the life of me, I do not understand why Buddhist prelates need privileged passports to preach the dhamma either here or abroad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The positive side of the current madness is that there is a discernible polarization of forces between the modern and the tribal. The principled stand of political formations representing ethnic minority interests with enlightened democratic segments of the ethnic majority is a sign that at long last the seeds of a true post-colonial nation state are taking root in the fertile soil of freedom and human dignity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us go back to 8th<\/sup> January 2015.\u00a0<\/span>The rainbow coalition had a simple objective. It rejected a state that was a kleptocracy and a state that sanctioned murder, abductions and disappearances.\u00a0 <\/span>More than the kleptocracy part, the fear and excesses of the deep state transcended all other societal fault lines communal, economic and ethnic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The successor state that was installed by the good governance enthusiasts did not sanction murder, abductions and disappearances.<\/p>\n

But the kleptocracy remained intact. It was far too entrenched. The successors were far too greedy to make the structural reforms that would make a difference. The story of SriLankan Airlines, the Bond boondoggle, and legal gymnastics of two Presidents Counsel in the Ranil Wickremesinghe cabinet to stall the probe on Avantgarde bounty hunters are eloquent examples of the double dealings of the reformers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past three years, state sanctioned murders have not been conclusively resolved.\u00a0<\/span>The parents of the eleven youth who vanished while in the custody of the navy are hoping for closure in vain. The Admiral who shielded one of the prime suspects dressed in his grandiose white is exuberantly celebrating his proprietorial grip on the allegiance of a peasant mind\u00a0 <\/span>incapable of discerning the thin line separating perfidy and patriotism.<\/p>\n

That said, this worrisome situation should not make us sceptics about democracy. The outcry, the tangible consensus against these problems as mentioned above and not mentioned due to space tell us that that there is indeed something about democracy that is worth mobilizing for.<\/p>\n

At this moment of democratic peril, we must resolve to reinvent and expand our democracy.<\/p>\n

The chaos in parliament is chaos that we created.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t need to elect buffoons who after elections pander to the whims and ideocracies of \u2018Mahanayakes\u2019 cocooned in their tribal enclaves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The purported minister of Buddha Sasana according to today\u2019s news reports has agreed with the prelate of Asgiriya-monastery that we must not allow foreigners to interfere in our affairs. May be Gammanpila wants the Australian investor to remain \u2018Mumm\u2019 on his charge of\u00a0 <\/span>a stock market swindle .\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our democracy begins and ends with the nebulous notion of an electoral representative democracy. It relies on quite valuable but extremely brittle set of institutions, which cling on to the notion that the elected Political class somehow know better than their electors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The elected parliamentarians and in this instance our elected president does not seem to have much faith in the citizens\u2019 capacity to make political decisions.<\/p>\n

The challenge we confront is simple and straight forward. We must somehow survive this crisis and form a credible caretaker government and hold a general election in which we the people can decide on representatives who will offer alternative practices enabling genuine democratic participation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The great war hero is exposed in all the nakedness of a cat burglar stealthily stealing the expressed will of the people. Caught with the goods, he has now turned witness for the prosecution and wants a general election.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the president\u2019s puerile and precipitate action we have an opportunity to rethink and reframe our idea of democracy.<\/p>\n

We must abandon this monstrous model.<\/b><\/p>\n

There is no way we can restructure it. We must at the next general election, put forward a constitutional model that does not promise but guarantees equality, freedom and the space for ordinary citizens to have a meaningful influence on politics. We must reject both, neo liberal economics and free market economics.\u00a0<\/span>Markers need intervention by the state. There is nothing vulgar about state owned enterprises provided the vulgar are kept out of management. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is an urgent, immediate task. I live in Battaramulla. Every day I pass the edifice that houses the Ministry of Megapolis Development now taken over by the charlatan son of Philip Gunewardena father of the revolution that never arrived.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am compelled to avoid eye contact with\u00a0 <\/span>a monstrous billboard with an obscene picture of Dinesh Gunewardena and a sickening screech for the Boralugoda Lion to\u00a0 <\/span>roar.\u00a0 <\/span>I saw it once and I puked.\u00a0<\/span>Now I take my morning walk before breakfast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The task of rethinking our democracy is pressing. We are now witnessing the brazen, arrogant and aggressive attempt by a gang that openly attempted to hijack the parliament to take command and control of the \u2018language of democracy\u2019 to capture power and restore their rent seeking ministerial privileges. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They involve \u2018The People\u2019 to subvert opposition to their machinations. The\u00a0<\/span>recent\u00a0<\/span>capture of state media institutions demonstrate their capacity to offer more undemocratic solutions to real and imagined problems. They seek to divide our society on parochial lines and undermine the climate of reconciliation that was clumsily but determinedly pursued in the last three years. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You must remember how Mahinda Rajapaksa set up the family business.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Mahinda Rajapaksa is not a selfish man. He institutionalized the exploitative privileges and perks of his team from base to the top of the pyramid. Despite his great charisma, this episode has made him a political clown. He has paid a high price. He has lost all political legitimacy.\u00a0This is the beginning of the end of the Mahinda Rajapakse folk legend. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now we must focus on our president whom we elected as the common candidate<\/b>. His humility and his humble life trajectory were his USP \u2013 \u2018the unique selling proposition \u2018the term used by professional marketeers in marketing FMCG \u2013 fast moving consumer goods- the stuff that has a limited shelf life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In fairness we must remember that he was proud of his achievement or destiny. At some point he concluded that he himself single handedly reached the hybrid of an Abraham Lincoln and Nelson Mandela. That is beside the point.\u00a0<\/span>He certainly has a deep seated antagonism towards Ranil Wickremesinghe the UNP leader who paved way for him to become president.\u00a0 <\/span>The problem is that half way through they both got confused.\u00a0<\/span>The President stopped being grateful. His Prime Minster never ceased crying over his spilt presidential milk.<\/p>\n

When the president complains about the cultural chasm between him and the Prime minster my conscience dictates me to agree with him.<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0First, Ranil Wickremesinghe does not speak the Sinhala that Maithripala Sirisena speaks.<\/p>\n

Second, no matter how humble you are, there is a limit to tolerating the uppity know all attitude of Ranil Wickremesinghe. It is not an act that is human possible unless your fate, interest or wellbeing is dependent on the UNP executive committee.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since defeating the no confidence motion against him, Prime minster Ranil Wickremesinghe did not bother to mend fences.\u00a0<\/span>Newspapers periodically reported that the president got mad over some cabinet paper or other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In high pressure politics getting mad over something is not unusual. Staying mad with somebody with whom you have fundamental differences is also not unusual. Getting mad is no big deal.\u00a0 <\/span>Going actually, really and truly mads is catastrophically insane. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
