This time Dr Mahathir said May 13 was actually a clash of classes, where the impoverished Malays ran into the wealthy non-Malays.

“Justice may be delayed, but it is never denied”
In other words, it was the manifestation of the most fundamental belief of Karl Marx, the Father of Communism: a clash between the classless and capitalists.
And because the capitalists had preyed on the classless, the communists had to wage a class war.
Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, the Gang of Four and so on and on. All these people “rose up” by uplifting Karl Marx’s Das Kapital, and had themselves influenced every other people to “rise up” against the capitalists, anti-revolutionaries, democrats and intellectuals.
In the end, save for a handful of privileged people, everyone else continued to be classless.
Having discarded the class theories, ironically those who have “risen up” today — from Beijing to Moscow — are, you guess, capitalists.
This set of class theories has been dumped into the trash can of history.
Which Dr M is happily picking up and recycling.
But lacking proper training in political ideologies and having little knowledge of historical common sense, the recycling of discarded philosophies will not produce any promising outcome.
Race and class are two entirely different concepts which we should not associate with each other.
Many non-Malays here were no capitalists during those turbulent times of 1969. Many Chinese families were either working as rubber tappers or mine coolies, or petty traders who barely made enough to make ends meet.
There were of course big tycoons, but they didn’t make up the majority.
If Chinese were the capitalists, then the Communist Party of Malaya would not have a market here.
And not all Malays were classless back in those years. Many Malays took up civil posts offering assured livelihoods. And with houses inherited from their ancestors, they hardly qualify for the “classless” definition.
In addition, some Malays had already done pretty well in politics, enjoying rather lavish life.
A clash between the impoverished Malays and the loaded non-Malays? Please, stop belittling our wisdom!
