  • This video features Enver Hoxha, the communist dictator of Albania, celebrating May Day, also known as International Workers' Day, in what is likely the 1983 May Day parade in Tirana, Albania. Under Hoxha's rule, May Day was used as a significant propaganda event to demonstrate the regime's control and to glorify the "achievements" of socialism. The parade, attended by thousands of workers, was meticulously orchestrated to present an image of unity, strength, and unwavering loyalty to Hoxha and the communist ideology.
    In this footage, Hoxha appears before large crowds, accompanied by high-ranking party officials and military leaders, as workers march in carefully coordinated displays. The event portrays a false sense of joy and celebration, masking the harsh reality of life under one of the most repressive regimes in Eastern Europe. In reality, the Albanian people, portrayed here as "slaves" to Hoxha's will, were subjected to years of political oppression, economic hardship, forced labor, and surveillance by the state.
    The May Day parade served multiple purposes for the regime: it was a tool to demonstrate Hoxha's power, reinforce the cult of personality around him, and ensure that the public remained visibly compliant with his rule. The celebration would often include patriotic songs, choreographed dances, military parades, and speeches glorifying the regime and its leaders. Workers were required to participate in these demonstrations, showcasing their supposed dedication to the ideals of communism and their submission to the party's authority.
    For those who suffered under Hoxha's dictatorship, this video is a stark reminder of how propaganda events like these were used to enforce subservience and suppress dissent in a country that had become increasingly isolated and impoverished under his rule.

    Ky video tregon diktatorin Enver Hoxha, udhëheqësin komunist të Shqipërisë, duke festuar Ditën e Punës, që njihet gjithashtu si Dita Ndërkombëtare e Punëtorëve, në atë që me shumë gjasë është parada e 1 Majit të vitit 1983 në Tiranë. Gjatë regjimit të Hoxhës, 1 Maji u përdor si një ngjarje e rëndësishme propagandistike për të treguar kontrollin e regjimit dhe për të glorifikuar "arritjet" e socializmit. Parada, e ndjekur nga mijëra punëtorë, ishte e organizuar me kujdes për të paraqitur një imazh të unitetit, forcës dhe besnikërisë së palëkundur ndaj Hoxhës dhe ideologjisë komuniste.
    Në këto pamje, Hoxha shfaqet para turmave të mëdha, i shoqëruar nga zyrtarë të lartë të partisë dhe udhëheqës ushtarakë, ndërsa punëtorët marshojnë në rreshta të organizuar me kujdes. Ngjarja paraqet një ndjenjë të rreme gëzimi dhe festimi, duke fshehur realitetin e vështirë të jetës nën njërin nga regjimet më shtypëse të Evropës Lindore. Në të vërtetë, populli shqiptar, i portretizuar këtu si "skllevër" të vullnetit të Hoxhës, ishte i nënshtruar ndaj viteve të shtypjes politike, vështirësive ekonomike, punës së detyruar dhe mbikëqyrjes së vazhdueshme nga shteti.
    Parada e 1 Majit i shërbente disa qëllimeve për regjimin: ishte një mjet për të treguar fuqinë e Hoxhës, për të përforcuar kultin e personalitetit rreth tij dhe për të siguruar që publiku të mbetej i përulur dhe i bindur ndaj sundimit të tij. Festimi shpesh përfshinte këngë patriotike, valle të koreografuara, parada ushtarake dhe fjalime që lavdëronin regjimin dhe udhëheqësit e tij. Punëtorët ishin të detyruar të merrnin pjesë në këto demonstrata, duke treguar përkushtimin e tyre të supozuar ndaj idealeve të komunizmit dhe nënshtrimin ndaj autoritetit të partisë.
    Për ata që vuajtën nën diktaturën e Hoxhës, ky video është një kujtesë e ashpër se si ngjarjet propagandistike të tilla u përdorën për të imponuar nënshtrim dhe për të shtypur çdo kundërshtim në një vend që ishte bërë gjithnjë e më i izoluar dhe i varfër nën sundimin e tij.

      Except that there are no "western capitalist dictators". Show me a western head of state ruling their country with an iron fist for four decades. Hoxha had converted all of Albania into an open air prison. About a third of Albania's population was incarcerated, sent to labour camps, exiled, etc. When in 1973 Western rock music was performed at an Albanian music festival, the organisers were sentenced to 25 years of forced labour. Hoxha had no qualms executing even his long time allies and erasing them from the history books. Albania was totally surreal, a giant labour camp, a place right out of George Orwell's playbook.

    Southern Albania was depopulated in a war in 1997 and the population hasn't recovered. Entire towns and streets still lay in ruins. The north is still heavily backwards and impoverished. In Tirana 2€ an hour is like a really good job, but a set of eyeglasses is 200€. People are protesting about high gas prices even though Albania has the most oil reserves of any European country, it's just all owned by Canadian companies. There are people here who live in houses without roofs or windows. Anyone can go down any road in the country and see the ruins. Albania is literally in ruins, while under Enver Hoxha they could rebuild all of Shkodra after an earthquake in 6 months.
    Now you're "free" to "criticise the government". It won't do anything though. Rather have a house, myself.

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.

      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.

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.

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.

      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.

      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.
