PSM Keeps Losing Elections. So Why Do They Still Contest?
<p>Gandipan Nantha Gopalan, Central Committee Member, Parti Sosialis Malaysia</p><p>Description: Socialism has been gaining renewed attention around the world. In the English-speaking world, figures like Zohran Mamdani in the US and Zack Polanski in the UK have brought socialist ideas back into mainstream political conversations. At the same time, there are growing calls for higher taxes on the wealthy and a fairer redistribution of resources, with voices like Gary Stevenson highlighting the deepening inequalities within modern capitalism. But it isn’t just the Anglosphere. From Spain and France to Brazil and Mexico, socialist and left-wing ideas continue to shape political debates. </p><p>But in Malaysia, that has not been the case.

There is, of course, Parti Sosialis Malaysia, which continues to offer a clear alternative centred on class politics. Yet despite decades of organising around issues such as workers’ rights, housing, and inequality, PSM has found it difficult to break through politically, often losing deposits when contesting elections.</p><p>So what is the future of socialism in Malaysia? What strategies does the movement need to grow? </p><p>We speak to Gandipan Nantha Gopalan, who’s a Central Committee Member at Parti Sosialis Malaysia.</p><p></p><p>Image Credit: Gandipan Nantha Gopalan Facebook </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
