Looking at their publications:

They have a pamphlet ‘Rapid response to overcome current challenges’

Some quotes:
“This economic policy laid the foundation for the severe economic crisis that we face today. Instead of prioritizing and strengthening production, the key features of this policy are the unnecessary expansion of financialisation, austerity measures subsidy cuts, creating market monopolies, inefficient and excessive borrowing, and sale of public property and state-owned enterprises to a small coterie of favoured individuals and companies. This policy, which gradually evolved, is called neoliberalism.”

“We advocate a value-added economic approach that considers which products and services should be
manufactured, which production methods should be adopted, which technologies to use, how to utilise
human and physical resources, how foreign trade structure should be shaped and how benefits of the
manufacturing process should be shared among the people. ”

“•A comprehensive national plan on economic development goals to be achieved in the short,
medium and long term
• Prepare the human resources required to implement the above plan
• To provide an opportunity for every citizen to participate in the collective task of nation building, in the public and private sectors
[…]
•Constitutional reforms to include the right to recall people’s representatives”

A lot of anti-corruption and political reform stuff, which sounds broadly sensible.

Sri Lanka is the refutation to the MMT crowd, as it is a sovereign currency issuing state that did go bankrupt in 2022.

This will be interesting to watch.
