Enver Hoxga has made modern Albania. He separated religion from everyday life. Look at the Albanians in Macedonia or Kosovo ...they have become a religil fanatics
Non so di dove sei ,ma se quelli sarebbero fanatici ,immagino intendi che serbi ,slavi della Macedonia e greci sono popoli moderati che non ostentano affatto l'appartenenza religiosa ,giusto ?
@@omertoso8956gli stati che hai menzionato sono più potenti d'Albania e hanno sempre usato la religione per motivi politici di intromettersi nei casi interni del paese. Era questo il motivo che Hoxha ha fermato le religioni, non solamente di distanziarsi dal Dio. E infatti ha funzionato a mettere tutti gli albanesi insieme, che si sono sposati tra loro, vivevano nei stessi quartieri, andavano nella stessa scuola, etc, cosa che non succedeva prima del blocco. Ha avuto un motivo, ed era di alti livelli, per unire la nazione sotto al "Albanismo".

@@evannesbitt7852 all were massmurderers, its conviniant for you expressing your opinion now, i think you would not like the reality of communism if you really lived there at that time
Same, religion was wiped out in 1967 but unfortunately, it returned after the fall of the government with all the old habits and filthy old stuff. Today, the Albanian government is just a puppet of the US.
I used to listen to Radio Tirana back in 70s. It was 24/7 non-stop "Our great leader Enver Hoxha is the greatest most wonderful most fantastic most awesome most etc etc" - when I first heard it I thought it was a joke. But it wasn't. Except for Albanians I guess.
He was the crook of all times and all the little crooks surrounding him ..they all made up so called the government….. Mate crimes that they did are endless …. Albania was one open prison ….. He killed every opponent even if someone made a small argument against the regime he got him killed …not only him but the whole family will spend their lives in prison camps in worst areas of Albania…. Those who cheer for him are sons of bitches
@@vladilenkalatschev4915 I know but our dog was more leery then the rest of komunist ideologists ….he thought he can take dictatorship and harsh rule into a next level of the nightmare…it’s a total diabolical system all his administration were crooks rapists etc killers….trained to do so in Russia … they were all educated in Russia…they plunged Albania into extreme poverty…
He was a strong Marxist-Leninist, he had greatly improved Albania, taking it from a feudal backwaters to an industrialized society, he provided power to everyone, improved women's rights, healthcare, education, etc.
He was a brutal stalinist dictator that made Albania into North Korea of Europe. During his 41 years in power , Albania become the poorest country in Europe.
*To address a commentary so laden with clichés and distortions, let's take a thoughtful perspective that makes a deep analysis of what International Workers' Day really means and, at the same time, let's decipher what is behind this simplistic and Manichean view that tries to write off the celebration as a mere “propaganda tool” of a supposed dictatorship. Because, let's be honest, if there is one thing that is clear in this description, it is a lack of historical understanding and an absolute disconnect from what dialectical materialism and historical materialism can teach us about these events.* *To begin with, calling the Albanian workers “slaves” in celebration of a day that is theirs, International Workers' Day, is ironically a strategy that reveals enormous ideological confusion. It is almost humorous (were it not for the burden of ignorance involved) to see how an attempt is made to transform a proletarian day of commemoration into a spectacle of “slavery”, while in capitalist economies, workers celebrate that day on a “holiday” that has little or nothing to do with the workers' struggle. Let's see if it is clear: May Day was not invented by Hoxha or any other communist leader, but is the living memory of the struggle of millions of workers who gave their lives for rights that today are considered basic in many parts of the world.* *It is curious that those who hold these ideas forget (or conveniently overlook) that it was precisely in socialist countries where Workers' Day ceased to be an empty holiday and became a true celebration of the proletariat, a moment of visibility, pride and dignity for those who were historically oppressed. What is wrong with a communist leader, such as Enver Hoxha, having celebrated this day with his workers? It is something that in any capitalist country would be an anecdote, because how many times do we see a capitalist president, one who is really in touch with the workers, marching alongside them and not as a distant figure?* *Calling these workers “slaves” is a blatant attempt to dehumanize them and reduce them to mere puppets of a supposed “totalitarian” regime. However, this simplistic perspective is incapable of recognizing the complexities that led Albania to pursue an independent socialist model, one that, by the way, remained outside Soviet control and then outside the influence of revisionist China. If anything can be said about Hoxha's line, it is that he was a leader who never yielded to imperialism or revisionism, keeping his country independent of external pressures. For the Albanians, this independence was a source of pride, and May 1st was not just a propaganda parade, but an expression of this collective pride.* *Moreover, the accusation that this celebration concealed “oppression” and “poverty” is just another layer of the same anti-communist narrative, one that conveniently forgets the conditions that global capitalism imposed on a country like Albania. Albania was not poor because it followed a socialist path; it was a country that came from being exploited and colonized, first under Ottoman rule and then under Italian interference. It is necessary to understand the historical context: socialism in Albania did not fall from the sky nor was it imposed by a single leader, but emerged as a result of a popular struggle against fascist invaders and against the local capitalists who supported them.* *Moreover, it is curious that this commentary ignores the independence and self-determination that the Albanian people defended in a region plagued by conflict. Albania was one of the few countries to resist both Soviet revisionism and Chinese revisionism, standing firm in its policy of non-dependence. But of course, for the anti-communist narrative, independence and self-determination do not count if the country does not follow Western guidelines. And, meanwhile, here we are in a system that sells us as “freedom” having to work endless days, in conditions of job insecurity, with the constant pressure of a market that only values people for their ability to produce profits.* *Some will say that “forcing” workers to march on May 1 is authoritarian. But let's be frank, how much freedom does a worker really have under capitalism? He is not free to choose his employment or decide his working conditions. Under capitalism, workers march (if they are allowed at all) in protests that are met with police repression, violence and a media machine that is dedicated to discrediting any attempt at worker organizing. Is that freedom? In the Albanian socialist context, May 1 was not a day of confrontation, but a day celebrating collective work, the common effort that had led to independence and the advancement of the country. In a system where work is truly valued, it makes sense that the entire society celebrates that effort.* *But let's return to the issue of “propaganda.” It seems that today, any show of national pride in a socialist country is automatically labeled as propaganda, while the constant advertising campaigns in capitalism, which bombard us at every instant with the idea that our system is the best, are seen as normal. The May Day celebrations in Albania were a show of unity, yes, but class unity, something that in capitalism could never happen, because capitalism needs division, competition and alienation to sustain itself. The images of workers celebrating are not images of “submission”; they are a reflection of a class consciousness that capitalism tries to avoid at all costs.* *As for the accusation that Albania lived in “isolation” and “poverty”, here it is also necessary to make a critical reading. Albania, under Hoxha, refused to depend on imperialism nor on the revisionist powers. It maintained an economy that prioritized domestic needs and avoided dependence on international banking and the global market. Was it poor? In comparison with the consumerist and indebtedness standards of the capitalist countries, yes, but it was a country that did not exploit other nations nor depended on the exploitation of its workers in subhuman conditions as in the maquilas of the capitalist countries. Albania built a society where education, health and social welfare were prioritized over capital accumulation. The “poverty” spoken of here is nothing more than a simplistic interpretation of what in reality was an austere and self-sufficient society.* *International Workers' Day, in any truly socialist context, is a reminder of the capacity for organization, solidarity and class consciousness. While capitalism reduces it to a harmless holiday, or in some countries even ignores it, socialism takes it as an occasion to recognize and celebrate the role of the working class as the engine of history. The irony is that, while this commentary attempts to discredit the celebration of May Day in Albania, in capitalist countries the only “freedom” workers have is to consume and work to exhaustion to sustain the system that exploits them.* *Finally, what is clear is that behind this commentary is a contempt for any attempt at organization and mobilization that does not follow the rules of the dominant narrative. May Day in Albania under Hoxha was not a day of “slavery” or “repression”; it was a day of collective pride, an opportunity for workers to see the fruits of their toil and for the importance of the working class in building a just society to be reaffirmed. The real slavery was not in the streets of Tirana, but in the factories of the West, where workers, without even knowing it, dedicated their lives to enriching a minority while being denied the possibility of celebrating their own collective effort.* *So, if we really want to talk about “slavery” and “propaganda”, maybe it's time to take a closer look at our own working conditions, the debt system that keeps us trapped, and the incessant media bombardment that tries to convince us that this is the best and only way to live.*

But what is the rate of poverty? What is the rate of child malnutrition? What is the rate of unemployment? Did it Albania become less corrupt and with less criminality after the end of Socialism?
@albanypjm that's why almost half of albania's population immigrated to fyrom,greece,serbia etc...this is your proud country?an albania without albanians??
before you start talking you should be sure to know what you are talking about son... Before any albanians, serbs, bulgarians, romanians etc etc arrived to the balkan it was greeks there, your people came there around the middle ages and called the place yugoslavia (south slavia, ie south russia more or less), i know that albanians is not 100% slavs but you are a mixture of slavs, romans and other cultures, so basically you are in our land that was our land since 5000 years ago... peace.
Marcos Haklaj some Albanians though, people should know, have developed in these "new days" a very peculiar concept of freedom. Sort of that, that embraces anarchy, refuses any governance, and rejects rational collective coexistence. You know, the one we are so well known for in the western world today ;)
*Ah, of course! Here we have the typical ideological description: “Enver Hoxha celebrates Labor Day with his ‘slaves’”. How convenient and simplistic it is to call collective work organized by and for the people “slavery”, when the real slavery is lived in the very system that uses that word to disqualify. But well, let's put this idea in its proper historical and material context.* *First, this commentary speaks of “slaves” in socialism, as if working in a socialist country were equivalent to being in chains. Pure irony, because those who fear socialism so much are usually the ones most attached to a system in which the real slavery-unlimited exploitation-is in the very bases of production. Under capitalism, workers really are “modern slaves,” not because someone is directly chaining them, but because the economic structure requires them to sell their labor power in order to survive. They do not work to create something that belongs to them or for a collective cause that improves their lives and the lives of their compatriots; they work to enrich a minority that has never touched a tool or set foot in a factory.* *In Albanian socialism, by contrast, Workers' Day was not a “celebration of slavery” but a vindication of the working class, an affirmation of its role as a central force in society. The workers parading in Albania were not doing so because “Enver Hoxha forced them” for their own ego, but because they were celebrating the fact that their effort was not fattening the pockets of a small group of capitalists, but strengthening a planned economy to serve their own collective needs. To call that “slavery” while in the capitalist system people are shackled to debt, mortgages and endless working hours for the benefit of others is chutzpah, to say the least.* *Furthermore, the description mentions the “false joy” of workers in Albania. This is a baseless statement, based on a superficial and certainly not at all objective conception. Capitalism uses the “values of individual freedom” to justify a profound alienation: each worker is isolated, treated as just another commodity in a market where, at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is how much money he generates, not his dignity, his development or his well-being. Socialist society, even in its difficulties, is based on the construction of a collectivity that shares common goals. It is a celebration of those who, shoulder to shoulder, build a society that responds to their needs, and not to those of an elite alien to the life of the worker. Can this be compared to the brutal alienation of capitalism, where the only “day of celebration” is when a necessary good is bought on credit?* *Another point the commentary makes is that of the “orchestration” of these celebrations. How interesting, as if capitalism did not also know how to orchestrate scenarios to mask its contradictions. Let's not forget that capitalist countries also organize their big shows of “unity” and “patriotism”. Let us look at the Olympics, the military parades, the consumerist spectacle of Black Friday. There is no question of “false joy” or talk of “slavery” there, even though these events are purely diversionary maneuvers aimed at appeasing the public while the elite continue to accumulate wealth at the expense of the working class. Which is more artificial: a Labor Day celebration remembering the crucial role of workers in a society, or a “holiday” created by a corporation to get everyone to buy things they don't need?* *And of course, the description mentions the “economic difficulties” of Albania under socialism, as if this is an automatic condemnation of the system. Now, here is the real problem: it is impossible to analyze these economic difficulties without considering the historical context of isolation and international pressure that Albania suffered, or are we forgetting the series of blockades and sanctions imposed by the capitalist bloc? This situation was not the result of an alleged “ineptitude” of Hoxha, but of an ideological and economic aggression of the capitalist powers that sought to suffocate any country that dared to take an independent path. Is it fair then to criticize the economic difficulties without mentioning the siege and sabotage to which Albania was subjected?* *And if we are talking about “cult of personality”, it is worth remembering that capitalism has built the greatest personality cults around its billionaires. Just look at the case of the Silicon Valley tycoons, who are worshipped as if they were “geniuses” for appropriating the work and ideas of thousands of employees. Meanwhile, socialist figures are demonized simply for representing liberation projects that threaten the dominance of this class. At bottom, this criticism is nothing more than a reflection of the dominant ideology, which does not support the idea of a society organized by and for workers.* *Finally, we cannot overlook the use of terms such as “political oppression” and “totalitarian control.” The real “political oppression” is that which is experienced in bourgeois democracies, where voting is little more than a formality while crucial decisions about the economy and war are made by circles of power inaccessible to the people. Or is there “freedom” in a system where workers have no control over decisions that affect their lives, where the means of production and resources are concentrated in a few hands?* *Ultimately, so-called capitalist “freedom” is nothing more than the freedom of the rich to exploit the rest. Albania, with its difficulties, offered an alternative: a project of independence, justice and struggle that, with its lights and shadows, sought to build a future in which the working class would be the master of its destiny, not an exploited mass for the benefit of a few.* *So, before pointing the finger at socialism, perhaps it is time to look closely at the real chains of this capitalist society that claims to be “free” while it drowns us in debt, exploitation and alienation. The history of socialism, with all its struggles and challenges, will continue to be a reminder that change is possible; we just have to be willing to look beyond the discourse dictated to us by this same capitalist society.*
Ah, the familiar refrain of the apologist: dressing oppression in the garb of 'collective work' and 'people's organization.' How quaint. To equate enforced labor under a totalitarian regime with genuine communal effort is as disingenuous as labeling servitude as freedom. As Orwell aptly noted, "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." The essential principle of totalitarianism is to make laws that are impossible to obey. Under Hoxha's iron fist, Albania was transformed into a hermit kingdom, where dissent was crushed, and the populace was subjected to relentless surveillance and purges. The so-called 'celebration' of Labor Day was nothing more than a coerced display of feigned enthusiasm, orchestrated to placate a paranoid despot. To romanticize this as a triumph of the working class is to spit in the face of those who suffered under the regime's yoke. Your attempt to draw parallels between the orchestrated pageantry of a dictatorship and the voluntary expressions of unity in open societies betrays a profound misunderstanding of both. In free nations, individuals are at liberty to participate or abstain; under tyranny, participation is mandated, and deviation is met with brutality. The distinction is not merely academic; it's the difference between liberty and subjugation.
slaves? They had slavery in Albania? Did he run the country with a senate or something or just by himself? Did they have a huge military like North Korea, how similar was Albania to North Korea in style? Such as cult of personality, total control, and all that?
The huge military in North Korea was necessary to defend it from Imperialism and outside threats and is a part of their sovereign right to self-defense.
Nana li is asking where is their Enver Hoxha and their Tirana they used to kill Albanian babies in the womb to give blood to their president 5 kilograms a month for 50 years 600 months huh Wisdom 12 4 you hated for their loathsome practices, their acts of sorcery, and unholy rites. 5 Those ruthless murderers of children, those eaters of entrails at feasts of human flesh and of blood, those initiates of secret brotherhoods, 6 those murderous parents of defenceless beings, you determined to destroy at our ancestors' hands,
@FriedrichHeinrich Yes there was no unemployment, no inflation (that's because they planned the economy, not because of economic wizardry), no foreign debt, no taxes and had universal healthcare for all of its' citizens paid by the state. All these things are great, but I would also love the right to criticize Hoxha and the PPSH when they do things I don't agree with, have more political party choice and not to have to live in fear of the Sigurimi.
@Mrdie I like what you wrote..Its nice to see somebody reflecting about the issues from then to now..Im all for the socialist ideas,but we perhaps need to take a different approach to the matter.. :)
Hey popcontest, why do you write a contra propaganda from your own video? if you find comunism so bad, you don't need to uploud it. For me you are just an ignorant. Take care from your own problems and let be the history. Viva Enver Hoxha!!!!
Hello fellow comrade, I have to make a statement though, yes Albania was working hard and progressive, but the leader had 10% of the country in prison for "political" crimes. I am not too sure if he cared about the people.
Obviously yes he cared about the people he took it from a feudal backwaters and industrialized it, he provided power to everyone, improved women's rights, healthcare, education, etc.

@FriedrichHeinrich You clearly didn't live in Albania during this particular time period. My parents, and relatives did. And yes, there were lines in the morning in which people would have to wait to get their ration of milk. To deny this is to deny history. You're ignorant we have nothing in common.
@FriedrichHeinrich I can't see any benefit to building over 700,000 air-raid shelters all over the country. The last thing I want to see driving home on a sunny afternoon, is clusters upon clusters of large ghastly looking concrete domes everywhere I look.
There is plenty of reason for them being so isolated and for them building their bunkers for example, it was part of their sovereign right to self-defense, they were at risk of invasion by several nations such as Yugoslavia, China, and the Soviet Union. The bunkers were to protect citizens and help them defend the country.
facts are that Albania was saved from neighbooringh Hyenas maybe not the best way, but what it maters most is saved. In that Time was thanks to him, never forget that even if you suffered!! couse you would have suffered any ways probably more and you wouldn't be calling your self Albanian this day, or more likely anything.
i cant beleive that now in my 40s i'm watching this and my memories are coming back. i was in the front row of children holding my fits up for hours for this evil person who was getting high on his dictator ship. I lived in a one bedroom house with my family going to the bathroom in a hole in the ground having barely anything to eat my whole childhood in albania under his dictatorship. I cant beleive North Korea is still getting away with treating people the same way.

@FriedrichHeinrich seriously bro? You know nothing of Albanian history, yeah no debt, taxes, etc..because there was no work period. The state told you what job to do (literally) and to get the most basic necessities such as milk you had to queue (line up) in the morning and wait for hours...He was a monster and ruthlessly in cold blood killed and oppressed his people. It is due to the long unfortunate rule of Enver Hoxha that left Albania behind in many ways..
American politicians order the CIA to assassinate people who don't agree with them such as the CIA attempting to assassinate nearly any Socialist leader such as Fidel Castro which just shows American Imperialism and hypocrisy. We as Communists, believe in a nation's right to self-determination by its citizens and not to interfere with it or its politics and we heavily oppose Imperialism. The CIA had literally planted landmines in South American villages and also supported Right-wing nationalistic dictatorships in opposition to Socialist Democracies, the US claims to be spreading Democracy and freedom, but it has only sabotaged and attempted to sabotage such and interferes with them. If they cared so much about Democracy they should've been supporting those Socialist nations, their people, and respected their right to self-determination as well as their sovereign right to self-defense which also includes nuclear weapons such as in the DPRK which only exist because America has nuclear weapons, Iraq for example, was invaded as a result of their LACK of nuclear weapons. The US has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world and has actually used them, yet they think other nations that possess them and express their sovereign right to self-defense are the enemies and the threats. The DPRK has nuclear weapons to DETER war and invasion and to ultimately maintain peace.

Communism involves a stateless, classless, moneyless society with the means of production held in common. The nations which you would most likely classify as having featured or established "Communism" were only Socialist, most of the time, State-Socialist, Marxist-Leninist nations which were merely in the transitory stage between Capitalism and Communism. Socialism has done many good things such as improve literacy, healthcare, education, housing, standards of living, qualities of life, increased lifespan such as in China, turned feudal backwaters into economic superpowers, won the Second World War, industrialized nations, increased rights for minorities and women, improved democracy, etc. According to the study from 1986 by S Ceresto and H Waitzkin PhD called "Capitalism, Socialism, and the Physical Quality of Life" given equal levels of economic development, Socialist nations on average had higher standards of living than Capitalist nations, also, according to that same study, given equal levels of economic development, Socialist nations had higher levels of caloric intake, meaning contrary to popular belief, people in socialist nations actually eat more food than capitalist ones. Socialism has evidently greatly increased prosperity.
Based on what?A great and that old nation like the Albanian deserves better than that,far better!Enver was only good for his party and it´s members if you were obsiquiously enough to Hoxha.When not you ended up "suiciding" yourself like Shehu,who was in fact very amateurish killed by Segurimi,wich left that harsh evidence that Shehu was whacked ,that even an Ethiopian child would get to the conclusion about Shehus murder.Hoxha mistrusted even himself!

Well, I agree with you in some things, Albania was much secure and egalitarian and richer with enver hoxha ( images clearly show and who not wants to see it is a moron) but at what price? at the price to being the european North Korea and Having almost no freedom.
the isolation, the closure and sanctions were all imposed from you abroad, nobody wanted to extend a hand of cooperation to that country until late '80s by German Federal Republic. Western Europe has always been like this, never lending a helpful hand to anybody around, and communism argument was just one more excuse to ignore the other.
Poor Albanians came to Greece with only their skin on. One day behind barbed wire the next day it was gone. No war or natural disaster of any kind, accompanying the fall of the regime in 1990 to justify poverty and destitution to such an extent. Those people -who later formed a huge indeed wave of immigration- were fed by the red cross. The red cross rations were treasure to them.So much for the Hoxha regime and communism.
Those Albanian people in the 1990s did not run away from poverty, but thought that the best life was in the West When they reached the west, they saw nothing but begging and misery Of course, this happened not only in Albania, but in all former socialist countries But today, the Albanian people see poverty, theft, and crime And no one hears their voice

Yep......I heard that many of them are religious muslims...what a shame really!!!
Non so di dove sei ,ma se quelli sarebbero fanatici ,immagino intendi che serbi ,slavi della Macedonia e greci sono popoli moderati che non ostentano affatto l'appartenenza religiosa ,giusto ?
@@omertoso8956gli stati che hai menzionato sono più potenti d'Albania e hanno sempre usato la religione per motivi politici di intromettersi nei casi interni del paese. Era questo il motivo che Hoxha ha fermato le religioni, non solamente di distanziarsi dal Dio. E infatti ha funzionato a mettere tutti gli albanesi insieme, che si sono sposati tra loro, vivevano nei stessi quartieri, andavano nella stessa scuola, etc, cosa che non succedeva prima del blocco.

@FriedrichHeinrich many thanks for your comment.
I used to listen to Radio Tirana back in 70s. It was 24/7 non-stop "Our great leader Enver Hoxha is the greatest most wonderful most fantastic most awesome most etc etc" - when I first heard it I thought it was a joke. But it wasn't. Except for Albanians I guess.

Amen to that.
I'm not Albanian what did Enver Hoaxa do? or what is he most known for?
He was a strong Marxist-Leninist, he had greatly improved Albania, taking it from a feudal backwaters to an industrialized society, he provided power to everyone, improved women's rights, healthcare, education, etc.
He was a communist dictator, a psychopath. Like many other communists, he murdered anybody who opposed his party.
He was a brutal stalinist dictator that made Albania into North Korea of Europe. During his 41 years in power , Albania become the poorest country in Europe.

*To address a commentary so laden with clichés and distortions, let's take a thoughtful perspective that makes a deep analysis of what International Workers' Day really means and, at the same time, let's decipher what is behind this simplistic and Manichean view that tries to write off the celebration as a mere “propaganda tool” of a supposed dictatorship. Because, let's be honest, if there is one thing that is clear in this description, it is a lack of historical understanding and an absolute disconnect from what dialectical materialism and historical materialism can teach us about these events.*
*To begin with, calling the Albanian workers “slaves” in celebration of a day that is theirs, International Workers' Day, is ironically a strategy that reveals enormous ideological confusion. It is almost humorous (were it not for the burden of ignorance involved) to see how an attempt is made to transform a proletarian day of commemoration into a spectacle of “slavery”, while in capitalist economies, workers celebrate that day on a “holiday” that has little or nothing to do with the workers' struggle. Let's see if it is clear: May Day was not invented by Hoxha or any other communist leader, but is the living memory of the struggle of millions of workers who gave their lives for rights that today are considered basic in many parts of the world.*
*It is curious that those who hold these ideas forget (or conveniently overlook) that it was precisely in socialist countries where Workers' Day ceased to be an empty holiday and became a true celebration of the proletariat, a moment of visibility, pride and dignity for those who were historically oppressed. What is wrong with a communist leader, such as Enver Hoxha, having celebrated this day with his workers? It is something that in any capitalist country would be an anecdote, because how many times do we see a capitalist president, one who is really in touch with the workers, marching alongside them and not as a distant figure?*
*Calling these workers “slaves” is a blatant attempt to dehumanize them and reduce them to mere puppets of a supposed “totalitarian” regime. However, this simplistic perspective is incapable of recognizing the complexities that led Albania to pursue an independent socialist model, one that, by the way, remained outside Soviet control and then outside the influence of revisionist China. If anything can be said about Hoxha's line, it is that he was a leader who never yielded to imperialism or revisionism, keeping his country independent of external pressures. For the Albanians, this independence was a source of pride, and May 1st was not just a propaganda parade, but an expression of this collective pride.*
*Moreover, the accusation that this celebration concealed “oppression” and “poverty” is just another layer of the same anti-communist narrative, one that conveniently forgets the conditions that global capitalism imposed on a country like Albania. Albania was not poor because it followed a socialist path; it was a country that came from being exploited and colonized, first under Ottoman rule and then under Italian interference. It is necessary to understand the historical context: socialism in Albania did not fall from the sky nor was it imposed by a single leader, but emerged as a result of a popular struggle against fascist invaders and against the local capitalists who supported them.*
*Moreover, it is curious that this commentary ignores the independence and self-determination that the Albanian people defended in a region plagued by conflict. Albania was one of the few countries to resist both Soviet revisionism and Chinese revisionism, standing firm in its policy of non-dependence. But of course, for the anti-communist narrative, independence and self-determination do not count if the country does not follow Western guidelines. And, meanwhile, here we are in a system that sells us as “freedom” having to work endless days, in conditions of job insecurity, with the constant pressure of a market that only values people for their ability to produce profits.*
*Some will say that “forcing” workers to march on May 1 is authoritarian. But let's be frank, how much freedom does a worker really have under capitalism? He is not free to choose his employment or decide his working conditions. Under capitalism, workers march (if they are allowed at all) in protests that are met with police repression, violence and a media machine that is dedicated to discrediting any attempt at worker organizing. Is that freedom? In the Albanian socialist context, May 1 was not a day of confrontation, but a day celebrating collective work, the common effort that had led to independence and the advancement of the country. In a system where work is truly valued, it makes sense that the entire society celebrates that effort.*
*But let's return to the issue of “propaganda.” It seems that today, any show of national pride in a socialist country is automatically labeled as propaganda, while the constant advertising campaigns in capitalism, which bombard us at every instant with the idea that our system is the best, are seen as normal. The May Day celebrations in Albania were a show of unity, yes, but class unity, something that in capitalism could never happen, because capitalism needs division, competition and alienation to sustain itself. The images of workers celebrating are not images of “submission”; they are a reflection of a class consciousness that capitalism tries to avoid at all costs.*
*As for the accusation that Albania lived in “isolation” and “poverty”, here it is also necessary to make a critical reading. Albania, under Hoxha, refused to depend on imperialism nor on the revisionist powers. It maintained an economy that prioritized domestic needs and avoided dependence on international banking and the global market. Was it poor? In comparison with the consumerist and indebtedness standards of the capitalist countries, yes, but it was a country that did not exploit other nations nor depended on the exploitation of its workers in subhuman conditions as in the maquilas of the capitalist countries. Albania built a society where education, health and social welfare were prioritized over capital accumulation. The “poverty” spoken of here is nothing more than a simplistic interpretation of what in reality was an austere and self-sufficient society.*
*International Workers' Day, in any truly socialist context, is a reminder of the capacity for organization, solidarity and class consciousness. While capitalism reduces it to a harmless holiday, or in some countries even ignores it, socialism takes it as an occasion to recognize and celebrate the role of the working class as the engine of history. The irony is that, while this commentary attempts to discredit the celebration of May Day in Albania, in capitalist countries the only “freedom” workers have is to consume and work to exhaustion to sustain the system that exploits them.*
*Finally, what is clear is that behind this commentary is a contempt for any attempt at organization and mobilization that does not follow the rules of the dominant narrative. May Day in Albania under Hoxha was not a day of “slavery” or “repression”; it was a day of collective pride, an opportunity for workers to see the fruits of their toil and for the importance of the working class in building a just society to be reaffirmed. The real slavery was not in the streets of Tirana, but in the factories of the West, where workers, without even knowing it, dedicated their lives to enriching a minority while being denied the possibility of celebrating their own collective effort.*
*So, if we really want to talk about “slavery” and “propaganda”, maybe it's time to take a closer look at our own working conditions, the debt system that keeps us trapped, and the incessant media bombardment that tries to convince us that this is the best and only way to live.*

There is nothing and I mean nothing in this world that you should cherish more than your freedom!
Marcos Haklaj some Albanians though, people should know, have developed in these "new days" a very peculiar concept of freedom.
Sort of that, that embraces anarchy, refuses any governance, and rejects rational collective coexistence. You know, the one we are so well known for in the western world today ;)
hoxha brought freedom to albania
*Ah, of course! Here we have the typical ideological description: “Enver Hoxha celebrates Labor Day with his ‘slaves’”. How convenient and simplistic it is to call collective work organized by and for the people “slavery”, when the real slavery is lived in the very system that uses that word to disqualify. But well, let's put this idea in its proper historical and material context.*
*First, this commentary speaks of “slaves” in socialism, as if working in a socialist country were equivalent to being in chains. Pure irony, because those who fear socialism so much are usually the ones most attached to a system in which the real slavery-unlimited exploitation-is in the very bases of production. Under capitalism, workers really are “modern slaves,” not because someone is directly chaining them, but because the economic structure requires them to sell their labor power in order to survive. They do not work to create something that belongs to them or for a collective cause that improves their lives and the lives of their compatriots; they work to enrich a minority that has never touched a tool or set foot in a factory.*
*In Albanian socialism, by contrast, Workers' Day was not a “celebration of slavery” but a vindication of the working class, an affirmation of its role as a central force in society. The workers parading in Albania were not doing so because “Enver Hoxha forced them” for their own ego, but because they were celebrating the fact that their effort was not fattening the pockets of a small group of capitalists, but strengthening a planned economy to serve their own collective needs. To call that “slavery” while in the capitalist system people are shackled to debt, mortgages and endless working hours for the benefit of others is chutzpah, to say the least.*
*Furthermore, the description mentions the “false joy” of workers in Albania. This is a baseless statement, based on a superficial and certainly not at all objective conception. Capitalism uses the “values of individual freedom” to justify a profound alienation: each worker is isolated, treated as just another commodity in a market where, at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is how much money he generates, not his dignity, his development or his well-being. Socialist society, even in its difficulties, is based on the construction of a collectivity that shares common goals. It is a celebration of those who, shoulder to shoulder, build a society that responds to their needs, and not to those of an elite alien to the life of the worker. Can this be compared to the brutal alienation of capitalism, where the only “day of celebration” is when a necessary good is bought on credit?*
*Another point the commentary makes is that of the “orchestration” of these celebrations. How interesting, as if capitalism did not also know how to orchestrate scenarios to mask its contradictions. Let's not forget that capitalist countries also organize their big shows of “unity” and “patriotism”. Let us look at the Olympics, the military parades, the consumerist spectacle of Black Friday. There is no question of “false joy” or talk of “slavery” there, even though these events are purely diversionary maneuvers aimed at appeasing the public while the elite continue to accumulate wealth at the expense of the working class. Which is more artificial: a Labor Day celebration remembering the crucial role of workers in a society, or a “holiday” created by a corporation to get everyone to buy things they don't need?*
*And of course, the description mentions the “economic difficulties” of Albania under socialism, as if this is an automatic condemnation of the system. Now, here is the real problem: it is impossible to analyze these economic difficulties without considering the historical context of isolation and international pressure that Albania suffered, or are we forgetting the series of blockades and sanctions imposed by the capitalist bloc? This situation was not the result of an alleged “ineptitude” of Hoxha, but of an ideological and economic aggression of the capitalist powers that sought to suffocate any country that dared to take an independent path. Is it fair then to criticize the economic difficulties without mentioning the siege and sabotage to which Albania was subjected?*
*And if we are talking about “cult of personality”, it is worth remembering that capitalism has built the greatest personality cults around its billionaires. Just look at the case of the Silicon Valley tycoons, who are worshipped as if they were “geniuses” for appropriating the work and ideas of thousands of employees. Meanwhile, socialist figures are demonized simply for representing liberation projects that threaten the dominance of this class. At bottom, this criticism is nothing more than a reflection of the dominant ideology, which does not support the idea of a society organized by and for workers.*
*Finally, we cannot overlook the use of terms such as “political oppression” and “totalitarian control.” The real “political oppression” is that which is experienced in bourgeois democracies, where voting is little more than a formality while crucial decisions about the economy and war are made by circles of power inaccessible to the people. Or is there “freedom” in a system where workers have no control over decisions that affect their lives, where the means of production and resources are concentrated in a few hands?*
*Ultimately, so-called capitalist “freedom” is nothing more than the freedom of the rich to exploit the rest. Albania, with its difficulties, offered an alternative: a project of independence, justice and struggle that, with its lights and shadows, sought to build a future in which the working class would be the master of its destiny, not an exploited mass for the benefit of a few.*
*So, before pointing the finger at socialism, perhaps it is time to look closely at the real chains of this capitalist society that claims to be “free” while it drowns us in debt, exploitation and alienation. The history of socialism, with all its struggles and challenges, will continue to be a reminder that change is possible; we just have to be willing to look beyond the discourse dictated to us by this same capitalist society.*
Ah, the familiar refrain of the apologist: dressing oppression in the garb of 'collective work' and 'people's organization.' How quaint. To equate enforced labor under a totalitarian regime with genuine communal effort is as disingenuous as labeling servitude as freedom. As Orwell aptly noted, "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." The essential principle of totalitarianism is to make laws that are impossible to obey.
Under Hoxha's iron fist, Albania was transformed into a hermit kingdom, where dissent was crushed, and the populace was subjected to relentless surveillance and purges. The so-called 'celebration' of Labor Day was nothing more than a coerced display of feigned enthusiasm, orchestrated to placate a paranoid despot. To romanticize this as a triumph of the working class is to spit in the face of those who suffered under the regime's yoke.
Your attempt to draw parallels between the orchestrated pageantry of a dictatorship and the voluntary expressions of unity in open societies betrays a profound misunderstanding of both. In free nations, individuals are at liberty to participate or abstain; under tyranny, participation is mandated, and deviation is met with brutality. The distinction is not merely academic; it's the difference between liberty and subjugation.
@emerpus01 30 years.
slaves? They had slavery in Albania? Did he run the country with a senate or something or just by himself? Did they have a huge military like North Korea, how similar was Albania to North Korea in style? Such as cult of personality, total control, and all that?
The huge military in North Korea was necessary to defend it from Imperialism and outside threats and is a part of their sovereign right to self-defense.
The cults of personality weren't caused by the leaders of those nations but the people within.

All these things are great, but I would also love the right to criticize Hoxha and the PPSH when they do things I don't agree with, have more political party choice and not to have to live in fear of the Sigurimi.

Hello fellow comrade,
I have to make a statement though, yes Albania was working hard and progressive, but the leader had 10% of the country in prison for "political" crimes. I am not too sure if he cared about the people.
Where did you get those numbers?
Obviously yes he cared about the people he took it from a feudal backwaters and industrialized it, he provided power to everyone, improved women's rights, healthcare, education, etc.

Ghastly? In my opinion bunkers make a great addition to the already beautiful Albanian countryside.
There is plenty of reason for them being so isolated and for them building their bunkers for example, it was part of their sovereign right to self-defense, they were at risk of invasion by several nations such as Yugoslavia, China, and the Soviet Union. The bunkers were to protect citizens and help them defend the country.
Albania was also poorest in Hoxhas time.

If they cared so much about Democracy they should've been supporting those Socialist nations, their people, and respected their right to self-determination as well as their sovereign right to self-defense which also includes nuclear weapons such as in the DPRK which only exist because America has nuclear weapons, Iraq for example, was invaded as a result of their LACK of nuclear weapons. The US has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world and has actually used them, yet they think other nations that possess them and express their sovereign right to self-defense are the enemies and the threats. The DPRK has nuclear weapons to DETER war and invasion and to ultimately maintain peace.
Communism involves a stateless, classless, moneyless society with the means of production held in common. The nations which you would most likely classify as having featured or established "Communism" were only Socialist, most of the time, State-Socialist, Marxist-Leninist nations which were merely in the transitory stage between Capitalism and Communism. Socialism has done many good things such as improve literacy, healthcare, education, housing, standards of living, qualities of life, increased lifespan such as in China, turned feudal backwaters into economic superpowers, won the Second World War, industrialized nations, increased rights for minorities and women, improved democracy, etc. According to the study from 1986 by S Ceresto and H Waitzkin PhD called "Capitalism, Socialism, and the Physical Quality of Life" given equal levels of economic development, Socialist nations on average had higher standards of living than Capitalist nations, also, according to that same study, given equal levels of economic development, Socialist nations had higher levels of caloric intake, meaning contrary to popular belief, people in socialist nations actually eat more food than capitalist ones. Socialism has evidently greatly increased prosperity.
Based on what?A great and that old nation like the Albanian deserves better than that,far better!Enver was only good for his party and it´s members if you were obsiquiously enough to Hoxha.When not you ended up "suiciding" yourself like Shehu,who was in fact very amateurish killed by Segurimi,wich left that harsh evidence that Shehu was whacked ,that even an Ethiopian child would get to the conclusion about Shehus murder.Hoxha mistrusted even himself!
American politicians order the CIA to assassinate people who don't agree with them such as the CIA attempting to assassinate nearly any Socialist leader such as Fidel Castro which just shows American Imperialism and hypocrisy.

@100notsaying no Albanians definitely didn't go to macedonia, or serbia (confusing Kosovo)..We are proud of our country, luckily as an adaptable people, once communism fell, we've been able to catch up quickly to the world. so watch out.

Poorly aged youtube comments.
Well, I agree with you in some things, Albania was much secure and egalitarian and richer with enver hoxha ( images clearly show and who not wants to see it is a moron) but at what price? at the price to being the european North Korea and Having almost no freedom.
the isolation, the closure and sanctions were all imposed from you abroad, nobody wanted to extend a hand of cooperation to that country until late '80s by German Federal Republic. Western Europe has always been like this, never lending a helpful hand to anybody around, and communism argument was just one more excuse to ignore the other.
It factually was not richer
One of the most hilariously paranoid men ever.
He knew that we have many enemies
This was Stalin favorite gay.
European Kim IL Sung!
More like the Enver Hoxha of Asia.
Poor Albanians came to Greece with only their skin on. One day behind barbed wire the next day it was gone. No war or natural disaster of any kind, accompanying the fall of the regime in 1990 to justify poverty and destitution to such an extent. Those people -who later formed a huge indeed wave of immigration- were fed by the red cross. The red cross rations were treasure to them.So much for the Hoxha regime and communism.
The term regime is extremely biased as it is intended to evoke a negative reaction out of the viewer.
@@hoxhacat8195 Groovy stuff. We are all going to be communists from now on.
Those Albanian people in the 1990s did not run away from poverty, but thought that the best life was in the West When they reached the west, they saw nothing but begging and misery Of course, this happened not only in Albania, but in all former socialist countries But today, the Albanian people see poverty, theft, and crime And no one hears their voice
