Red Tiger

Red Tiger: Practical Socialism in Malaysia is Arveent Kathirtchelvan’s attempt to apply Marxist analysis to the conditions of 21st-century Malaysia.

In Red Tiger, Arveent—a former central committee member of Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM)—imagines what socialism could look like when applied to the context of a developing former colony caught between imperial powers, anchoring revolutionary theory in local struggle.

And since the point is to change the world, the book also encourages the disillusioned working classes of Malaysia to take part in reshaping the nation’s future.

Red Tiger is available to pre-order from Gerakbudaya.
