By Sanjaya Jayasekera.
For Zionist imperialists, the history began on October 07, 2023, and the brutal oppression of Palestinians for 75 years is simply obliterated. Drawing an analogy, for Comrade Nandana Nanneththi, according to his diatribe of October 08, 2024, the history of our principled struggle against their nationalist clique had begun only from our final contribution of July 4, 2024. Nandana shamelessly suppresses the fact that the discussion in question formally started at least six months ago, on December 25, 2023, when Sanjaya proposed a programme of action to the Aggregate group, titled “The way forward for the SEP Left”. Our struggle consisted of a number of written explanations that followed, a 25-page document written by Comrade Migara before December 25 about the long degeneration of the party, and two submissions of nearly 30 pages written by Comrade Migara clarifying the discussion that broke out after my proposal of December 25. Only one document was submitted by the Nandanaâs clique, by comrade Udayaprema, during this whole discussion. This document submitted in mid April largely contained straw-man arguments that distorted the facts. Nandana avoided the main problems that we raised, but his positions were made clear to us.Â
Nandanaâs behavior shows that he perceives our refusal to respond to his frenzied statements in his own language and style as representing our weakness. He is wrong. Since we are not in the habit of biting like hounds infected with the disease of poisonous subjectivity, and being revolutionaries who have not abandoned the claim to the heritage of the historical continuity of the international socialist movement, we act to grapple with political issues theoretically, attempting the most for the political clarifications and lessons for the working class. That is our approach.
Nandanaâs essay/article reeks of the symptoms of the subjective sickness of a petty-bourgeois charlatan, requiring it to be dissected into sentences and phrases and sometimes into words to discuss it in detail. Therefore, we have adopted a method of commenting within the original text of the essay itself and the commentaries are placed just after the relevant section of the texts which are placed within parentheses. This method, we hope, keeps the reader less distracted.

Nandana is using my middle name and profession as an appeal to backwardness. There was no relationship between my profession and my being a member of the revolutionary party, and the reader would understand what Nandana is up to.

We, the internationalist faction, expelled Nandana-led nationalist clique, and thus they have no politically legitimate entitlement to any of the media organs of the group, which was intended to function as a faction of the Socialist Equality Party of Sri Lanka (SEP). The faction was to be founded in opposition to the party leadershipâs reactionary political tendencies that we struggled to identify, discuss, clarify and clearly define. theSocialist.LK website was not even in the dreams of any of the comrades of the group including Nandana, when Sanjaya foresaw the necessity of such a publication organ for the factional struggle and thus registered âtheSocialist.LKâdomain name under his name and started building a blog. All these were communicated to Nandana later and he agreed with the same. The blog was launched by Sanjaya on his birthday as a gift to all comrades of the group. Sanjaya was Editor of the website, not because he was appointed by any vote, but because he assigned it to himself and everybody accepted the status quo. The group decisions were reached never as an outcome of a so-called majority decision, and the decisions were taken usually by Sanjaya and Nandana during their discussions, and these decisions were approved tacitly by everybody. When Sanjaya suggested developing the blog into a website, he conceded that the other comrades too should contribute financially, so that everybody gets the sense of its significance as the axis of the faction, even though he could have borne the whole cost by himself, if that was necessary, which fact everyone of the group was well aware of. Some funds were taken from the Colombo Action Committee (CACPS) as a loan, as the contributions lying there were solely from the comrades in the group. Comrades Nihal and Punyawardena, the close associates of Nandana, controlled this bank account. Later, Sanjaya opened a Bank account with Parakrama, another long-time friend of Nandana, separately for theSocialist.LK, and Parakrama and Nandana were in control of the Bank ATM card, and they always put off handing it over to Sanjaya, never carrying it out. They used the website’s bank card to withdraw all funds, after the clique was expelled from the faction. Due to inadvertence, the return of the loan obtained from CACPS had not been effected by Parakrama or Sanjaya, as it was never raised or reminded within the group discussions, even by Nihal, who was CACPS treasurer and was long absconding meetings. Once the funds from the website account were illegitimately withdrawn by Nandana renegades, we demanded the overdue remittance of the loan amount to the action committee’s account, which Nandana has rejected in an email communication. CACPS is dysfunctional as of now, and its Secretary has yet to call a general meeting to elect the new office bearers, while Sanjayaâs Chairmanship has lapsed.

In fact, it was the N-clique (Nandanaâs clique) that renegaded from internationalism, rejected reapplying for ICFI membership and fighting for SEP membership, rejected the Bolshevik method of factional struggle and relegated into an opportunist nationalist pressure group.

They did not stand, nor stand against any reactionary tendencies in the party leadership. Theirs was, in fact, an agitation group, and their so-called struggle was not against any reactionary tendency of the leadership, but against this or that âunprincipled activitiesâ, and was wholly ad hoc, informal and irregular. After 2015 Second National Congress, Nandana, who could secure a place in the Central Committee, and his clique limited their agitation and entered into a tacit compromise with the leadership, only to be compelled to take arms against the party leadership during the mass struggles of 2022. By mid 2023, Nandana enrolled to the group two ex-members of the party, his close friends, who had deserted the party long time ago, and never wished to rejoin the party, but claimed their will to be engaged in the ICFIâs revolutionary politics, without being affiliated to it!

I had not expressed to them any opposition to or agreement with their specific political issues, nor I was a member of their group. Their issues were largely unknown to the membership, as that was the way the SEP leadership worked to prevent membership discussions on the political disagreements of members. The SEP leaders preferred faithful yes-men. The first time I expressed my political agreement with a political position taken by Nandana was when a dispute on the ICFIâs stance on the right to self-determination arose in late 2021, in which I was able to clear the confusions long nurtured by the party leadership. In 2015 only I was selected to the PC, and I was largely unaware of Nandanaâs specific issues, because they never functioned as a political faction, but just as agitators within a couple of Locals. They never took part in a factional struggle. This was recognized also by comrade David North in his comments made at the start of Partyâs Congress in 2015.

Only we raised the political issues regarding the factional characterization, which then gave way to other issues of nationalism and internationalism as central questions within the SEP-Left. We fought for our explanations based on Bolshevik principles and they never attempted to answer our fundamental questions. These ultimately led to the expulsion of this unprincipled clique from the SEP-Left.

In the final round of discussions Sanjaya had made oral submissions via Zoom, which followed âcommentsâ from N-clique and then what was remaining was Sanjayaâs counter-submissions. As an aid to these final oral contribution, the written document was prepared in association with Comrade Migara, which was submitted. Therefore, in fact, the discussion had come to its dead end. In fact, our disagreements with Nandanaâs positions did not arise just on December 25, 2023, but at the very inception of our engroupment, when 12 members were about to be expelled from the party. Sanjaya along with Migara and Sunil insisted that these comrades should declare a faction and take the fight against the bureaucratic party leadership, which Nandana-Udayaprema (the latter is the formerâs brother-in-law) vehemently objected. They even adamantly refused to write to the party leadership against the intended expulsion, saying such a response is undesirable and, even after Sanjaya got almost all other comrades to agree for his proposal, this was not executed by the group due to Nandanaâs vehement opposition. It was clear to us later that, in fact, Nandana wanted the expulsion to take effect, so that he can establish his petty-bourgeois pressure group that suits his way of social life. The expulsion removed from the ranks of the party/ICFI the revolutionary and progressive cadre, who were misguided by Nandana.

My resignation from the ACDAE (Action Committee) and PC (I did not resign from the CC) were based on serious political issues. I was fighting against a number of retrogressive characteristics that I saw had developed overtime within the membership and in the day-to- day operation of the Party.

We are not just a web group; we, the Socialist Lead of Sri Lanka and South Asia (SLLA), the Revolutionary Left Faction (RLF) of SEP, inherit the legitimate claim for the historical continuity of Bolshevism and fight for resolving the crisis of proletarian leadership, which task they have expressly rejected. We abandoned using the term âSEP-Leftâ as they had illegitimately used it even after their expulsion from it in a diatribe published against us on 12 July 2024, which is full of distorted quotations and false allegations.

The revolt referred to here is our expulsion of the Nandana-led reactionary clique from the SEP-Left. Nandana covertly finds another reason for our ârevoltâ. The truth is otherwise. The most recent circumstances for the expulsion of these renegades arose when our final submissions were made and we did not let theSocialist.LK to succumb to their nationalist lines. The clique then assembled and decided to take control of the website and impose their nationalist politics forcefully upon us, based on a never-existed or accepted âmajority decisionâ of their never-formed âcommitteeâ. Their ostensible hatred against us is fuelled by this political wisdom of ours that prevented them from executing an organizational coup against the internationalist tendency, subjugating it under their cliqueâs control.

This is an outright lie. The differences arose only at least from the date of December 25, 2023, when Sanjaya made a programme proposal to the group in a document titled âThe Way Forward for SEP-Leftâ, which Nandana shamelessly suppresses. This significant document suggested as follows:
âComrades should note that our expulsion by the Political Committee of the SEP is subject to the approval of the Congress [Party Constitution Clause 10(f)]. Congress is the final appeal body, only which we can place our trust upon, and we should appeal to the Congress for the revocation of our expulsion. Trotsky did the same, when he was expelled by the leadership of the Russian Communist Party. As Cannon says, Trotsky did not just get up and walk away from the Party. In 1928, when the Sixth World Congress of the Comintern was held in Moscow, Trotsky, at the first opportunity he got, appealed to the Congress against his expulsion. He at the same time submitted a criticism of the Draft Program prepared by Bukharin and Stalin. This commentary only paved the way for the establishment of a section of the Trotskyist Left Opposition in the United States, under the leadership of Cannon.
We too can and must use this opportunity and be ready to appeal to the next Congress of the Party. But, in the meantime there is a tremendous bulk of work to be done. We work continuously as the SEP-left faction – which we continue to claim ourselves to be – with our full might with the goal of building a new leadership in the party, and this requires fighting for political clarity on the degeneration of the Party leadership and the party as a whole. These documents will enlighten the party membership mainly, and also the working class at large. We will continue to publish our documents on our publication organ, theSocialist.LK.â
Even long prior to this proposal of the programme of action, comrades Sunil, Migara and Sanjaya were pointing out the necessity of defining the group as a faction of the party, so that our struggle is well programmed and we would be able to recruit new comrades to the faction. This document and our explanations to the group proposed a factional struggle to fight against to-be-defined reactionary tendencies of the party leadership and to appeal for our membership (along with a Congress perspective resolution), all of which Nandana rejected. In January and early February 2024, the group had two days of discussion on this proposal, and further discussions in this regard were effectively rejected, falsely claiming that issues have been resolved and Nandana was going to draft and finalize a long-awaited and assigned document explaining the Partyâs degeneration, which he never did. Thereafter, the ensuing discussion was centered on Nandanaâs proposal, made on March 16, to form SEP-Left as a group that pressures the party leadership against its shifting toward the political right. He proposed a new formulation of programme, consisting of alternative options: the SEP-Left shall struggle to put the party on the right track, and join with them in the revolution when they lead and do it, and if they fail and derail itself from ICFI programme, then the SEP-Left will step in and lead the masses! We rejected this opportunist and pragmatic formulation that abandoned the task of the revolutionary Party of resolving the crisis of the proletarian leadership. We stood for the factional struggle to build the SEP as the revolutionary leadership of the working class of Sri Lanka and the region.

Our characterization of the party leadership was thus to serve this purpose. The characterization we arrived at was drawn from the common understanding, historical experience and knowledge of the members of the group and upon the general perspective of the membership of the party. We, party comrades, knew how these tendencies manifested in the party leadership, and we were required to place that understanding in a historical, internationalist and class analysis, which is an enormous task they refused, even as a group work, and we undertook. N-clique never expressly rejected this characterization – though we could construe their refusal of the same – nor suggested their own characterization of the reactionary tendencies of the leadership, because they recognized no such tendencies within the party leadership.

They even never expressly agreed or disagreed with our characterization of the SEP leadershipâs reactionary tendencies, nor did they propose any other characterisation. Immediately after our arbitrary expulsion from the party, it was agreed between Sanjaya and Nandana, known to other comrades of the group, to write a document explaining the party’s long-time degeneration, which he neglected and never did. It was only we who from the very inception demanded a characterization of the SEP-Left, in relation to the party leadership, which thereupon only ignited all disputes, and Nandana delayed and even rejected clarifying this fundamental question of the nature of the âfactionâ claiming such question was non- existent. Then the discussion was directed toward the fundamental form of our âfactionâ, as Nandana rejected the factional struggle, while refusing to appeal to the party Congress under its Constitution for our membership of the party and to fight for our party membership. He proposed our group should act as a pressure group to redirect/realign SEP leadership to the left from shifting further to the right. Nandana even tried to mislead the comrades of the group by falsifying the history of the Bolshevik movement and asserting that you don’t need to be a member of ICFI/SEP to be a Trotskyist internationalist! He further maintained that the SEP-Left does not need any âofficialâ affiliation to the ICFI to be identified as âinternationalistâ! This is a complete rejection of internationalism, the fundamental principle of Bolshevism. We rejected to accept this nationalist perspective.

Nandana clique is not waging a struggle for the resolution of the crisis of the leadership of the working class of this country and the region. For them, the SEP leadership, for years, have only shown their hostility to principles from their this or that actions, and these expressions of hostility to principles do not represent any development of identifiable reactionary tendencies within the leadership. Therefore, what is necessary is to exert pressure from outside upon the leadership against their shifting to the political right. For this, they do not need membership of the party or the International Committee. There is no necessity of a factional struggle too, as the party leadership has not shown any reactionary tendencies in their practice. When we asked this specific question from them, whether they considered these âunprincipledâ practices to have developed into the status of reactionary tendencies, they just avoided the question. But, we were correct in the analysis of their positions, and we clearly identified that they have no grounds or intention to claim to engage in a factional struggle.

Were those clarifications attempted by them during the course of our discussions within the group these arguments would have been adequately dealt with by us at that stage of the discussion.

This was demonstrated vividly during the historic mass struggles of April-July 2022. This alienation led to sectarianism and conservatism, which aggravated bureaucratism in a vicious cycle. These, in the final analysis, are the consequences of subjugation to the nationalist pressures of the prevailing bourgeois consciousness of the working class, upon which the leadership has diluted its faith in the potential to educate an advanced section of the working class as Marxist revolutionaries, ultimately leading to skepticism in the revolutionary role of the working class of countries of belated capitalist development like Sri Lanka and those of South Asia. This goes against the very principles of the Permanent Revolution. Manifested in a multitude of ways, this developed in the leadership a nationalist opportunist tendency. SLLA documents being prepared will explain this analysis further. This development is an objective historical process, and Nandana is not only trivializing the depth and degree of this phenomenon but also fails to recognize this qualitative development. Therefore, it is patently clear why Nandana and the clan cannot move forward an inch beyond simple identification of this or that unprincipled conduct of the leadership.

This was explained at length by Migara in his final document, and Nandana is tiptoeing to easily avoid dealing with this important explanation. We are also aware that the International Committee has taken steps to hold the mirror of its own history that reflects the rich heritage of the experiences of our struggles against petty-bourgeois opportunism that developed within the movement in 1953 and in 1973-1986 in the British section, so that the SEP leadership sees its dark face in it. Nandana thus confirms that they are not fighting against any reactionary tendencies within the party leadership, therefore denying any legitimacy for SEP-Left to be recognized as a political faction of SEP.
Further, here Nandana says bureaucratism is growing within the SEP which has already degenerated, and left untreated will destroy the party. But, astonishingly, throughout a period of over two and a half years of the existence of the SEP-Left, it was Nandana himself who sabotaged the development of the necessary vital marxist analysis in that regard by undertaking to do it himself but never doing it. Even now he is rejecting the same out of hand, while launching into vicious, fraudulent and uncouth attacks upon us, because we have undertaken the task and conduct the struggle in the traditions and methods of our movement.

Nandana now seems to presume an SEP leadership regime, which is âinclined towards opportunismâ (as he has stated), but free from a tendency which is toxically subjective and bureaucratic. Comrade Migara has explained the shift in Nandanaâs standpoint on leadership in his last document.

Being part of a dirty smear campaign, Nandanaâs essay is far from being a political contribution. The N-clique is unable to show we have gone against any of the fundamental principles of Bolshevism.
Their Politics and our Struggle
Nandana clique has thus expressly abandoned any factional struggle against reactionary tendencies of the party leadership. They have found a comfortable zone that suits their middle class way of life, specifically as journalists and not as disciplined revolutionaries committed to the revolutionary party, and dedicated to resolving the crisis of proletarian leadership. Thereby, it has lost all political legitimacy of claiming themselves a faction of the SEP, as part of those revolutionaries who defend and develop the heritage of the historical continuity of the revolutionary Bolshevik movement. They have expressly abandoned the revolutionary role of solving the crisis of the leadership of the working class, and claim to operate a website to promote âthe revival of socialist cultureâ devoid of the Party of the working class. This suits their formulation of the characterization of their group to be a pressure group, functioning as a watch-dog of the party leadership, rejecting any attempt to struggle for the membership of the international party of the working class. The whole epistemology of the historical documents of the class, the party and the leadership has been abandoned.
Against their nationalist orientation, we emphasized and have based ourselves on the principles of the historical traditions of Bolshevik internationalism, as correctly pointed out by Gerry Healey to British Trotskyists in 1943 in his document of August 10, 1943, titled, âOur Most Important Task.â In this document Healey came out against the WIL leadershipâs opposition to the unification of British Trotskyists as proposed by the Fourth International. We insisted upon these principles to the N-clique, who never valued their revolutionary significance, and now has rejected them in practice. Healy wrote:
âThe main purpose of this document is to bring home to the membership the importance of being the official section of the Fourth International in view of the vital necessity to strengthen the traditional organization of Trotskyism in the great struggle already begun. If we accept the history of âinternational Trotskyism since 1933 (which is a history of Bolshevik regroupment in the Fourth International), then we must place the question of the International as the most important question before the group. All other questions of group development, such as the press, industrial work or organizational activity are bound up with whatever stand we take on the International. If we accept the political principles of Bolshevism then we must accept the organizational method. It is not sufficient to say that we accept the program of the Fourth International and that we expound it better than the RSL if we do not also accept its organizational method, which means that we must be affiliated to the International, accepting its democratic centralist basis; just the same as it is not sufficient to claim to be a Trotskyist and to be more conversant with the policy of Trotskyism than the organized Trotskyists, unless one joins a Trotskyist party accepting its democratic centralist discipline. That is what is meant by Bolshevik organizational methods.â Excerpt from Gerry Healy and his place in the history of the Fourth International, David North.
