PETALING JAYA: Malaysian socialists need to ask themselves why the anti-Icerd (International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination) campaign was able to mobilise tens of thousands for a racist message, when the left wing struggles to have such an impact.

At the same time, in analysing its mistakes, a defeatist mentality should be avoided, said Imran Rashid of Imagine Malaysia.
