Enver Hoxha and the Albanian Cultural Revolution: Memories of an Era

In 1984, Enver Hoxha's memoir was published: «When the foundations of the new Albania were laid». “This book evokes for us the memories and history of the grandiose work that laid the foundations of popular power in Albania, at the same time it is for us a teaching and a message from the founder and director of this work. For this reason, precisely because the work and the foundations were described by the founder himself, it is of great importance for us and is particularly dear to us."
Addressing Enver Hoxha again in 1985, on the occasion of the death of the leader of the Albanian people, now recognized as one of the most eminent Marxist-Leninists in the entire world, Kadarè wrote: "As the creator and architect of the new Albania, Enver Hoxha is in at the same time this also applies to our sciences, our arts and our literature. His vast mind as an ideologist, philosopher and inextinguishable scholar was one of the main factors that established the dimensions of the foundations of the arts and of young Albanian literature, dimensions by which the build and height of all 'building... He was the great friend of writers and artists with whom he had many things in common... Those writers and artists who were fortunate enough to know him and converse with him, retain unforgettable in their memory the emotional power, the depth, the multifaceted character, the intimate warmth and at the same time the monumentality of his words".
In 1990 he left Albania asking for political asylum in France. In recent years he has given nauseating interviews on several occasions.

Ramiz Alia

From Fascist Files to Radical Changes: Ramiz Alia and the Events of 1990 in Albania

Before joining the partisans of the National Liberation Front during the war he was a member of the Albanian fascist youth movement for at least two years.
In September 1990, on the occasion of the 45th UN General Assembly, Ramiz Alia met the Foreign Minister of the USSR Eduard Shevarnadze, the President of Romania Jon Iliescu, the Chinese Foreign Minister Cian Ci Cen and above all Sulsberger "an old agent of CIA” as Enver Hoxha recalls in some of his memoirs.
Upon his return to Albania he gave no account of anything, neither to the Political Office nor to the Party. Not even a word about his visit to the USA. From here begins in Albania that series of "spectacular" events of "domino" initiatives such as the assault on the embassies, the demonstration of the students in December, the strikes of the various trade unions, the demolition of the statue of Enver Hoxha in Skenderbeg Square.

PREMISE

With these brief hints of history, we certainly do not want to rewrite the recent history of Albania, which will certainly be done in due course: the dynamics and internal developments for the succession to Enver Hoxha, the method used to overthrow Socialism in Albania , are reasons for reflection for Marxists – Leninists. This, however, demonstrates that the internal enemy, the Trojan horse, is the most dangerous one that hides behind splendid masks of smiles and hugs.

But, as Enver Hoxha stated in closing the book “Eurocommunism is anti-communism”: The situations are not easy, but let us remember Stalin’s optimistic words according to which: «there is no fortress that the communists cannot conquer». This revolutionary optimism arises from the same objective laws of society’s development. Capitalism is a system condemned by history to be liquidated. Nothing, neither the fierce resistance of the bourgeoisie, nor the betrayal of the modern revisionists, will be able to save it from its inevitable end. The future belongs to socialism and communism.
