(The Rawls killed Marxism narrative) offers a cute lens on Malaysian political history.
Like Marxism, Mahathirism focuses on the power dichotomy between haves and have-nots, while taking a position that class warfare justifies the internal stratification of each class. In other words, "in order for all haves to have less ... some have-nots must have more than other have-nots".
It may be argued that Singapore ended up being more egalitarian in economic policy. And that anti-communist Malaysia is more Marxist than communist China.
