#1 Are the Tigers Trotskyites or something, that the Marxists reject them so harshly?

#2 Well, for real doctrinaire Marxists, everything is based on the Class Struggle™, on economic classes. People organizating on racial or religious grounds are showing a false conciousness. Mainstream Democrats follow many of the precepts of Marxism, too, as in the recent book What's the Matter with Kansas.

#3 The Marxists are more like National Socialists, in that they are made up strictly of Sinhalese, and are ultra-nationalists who will accept no accomadation with the Tamil Tigers. The JVP were responsible for most of the anti-Tamil pograms during the seventies.

#4 In that case, they're not really Marxists, then. A true Marxist will murder people regardless of race, sex, color, or religion.
National Socialist sounds right, though. They tend to put "race" (in some weird definition of "race" that works to their advantage) one step above economic class.
