The study chooses the qualitative method to analyse the discourse. We used qualitative content analysis in our attempt to extract political ideas from the collected data. The primary sources are his major works, where we extracted his socio-political thoughts. Then, we referred to his documented and non-documented party speeches and his party’s political principles and manifesto, in order to see how those thoughts are channelled towards his party. Other sources such as open-ended interviews and discussions, articles, press statements, and tabloids published by the newspapers that are associated with him are taken as supportive documents. The book finds that four of the concepts that he has always highlighted in his writings as well as speeches, namely neo-feudalism, neo-colonialism, poverty and ethnic-based politics are developed based on the concept of elitism, and the concept of elitism that he uses is to some extent similar to Gramsci’s concept of bourgeois hegemony, thus rejecting the claim that he is an orthodox Marxist or leans towards Weberian. In addition, it is undeniable that he was also influenced by the ideas of the three Malay nationalists namely Dr. Burhanuddin al-Helmy, Ahmad Boestamam and Pak Sako.
