Malaysian social imperialism?

[Stephen E Philion]

Hi Doug, 
Very interesting. No, indeed calling this guy a social imperialist would
hardly suffice as an analytical concept. Nor is he a stooge of imperialism
either, the other likely appelation likely to be assigned to him. Though I
can well imagine somewhere in the record are meetings between him and
AFL-CIO members...so, alas, there's the proof--a stooge!!?  Any chance of
a transcript
of the show appearing somewhere? I can't access it in Hawaii can I?
