Communism in Malaysia

Malaysian Communism : a historical strategic error seems to be, the misconception that violence is necessary for revolution.

Until 1941 : reasonably cordial oligarchy was maintained between the British and Malay rulers

1946 : the Malayan Union was an authoritarian approach to depowering the Malay rulers

1948, February : the Federation of Malaya superceded the Malayan Union peacefully

1948, March : Chin Peng starts planning armed conflict, and has people shot by June

Marx maintains however, that workers may achieve their goals through peaceful, legal, means ... hence Marx isn't outlawed in Malaysia, only parties with explicitly violent strategies.
