The projection in the description has me in tears. Imagine someone showing clips from a Western nation, with parades and such, with description "American Capitalist Dictator so-and-so celebrates American Independence Day together with his expendable wage slaves" etc. This is absolutely hilarious.
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.

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.

@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.

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 ;)

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.
he ahd more then one i think some say that the real one never even came out in public taht really raises teh question if it really was him that died in april 1985 hum??/
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?
@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.
@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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
@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.
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!

How are the times now in Albania? Better or worse that in socialist time?
Statistically they were better under Socialism, improved lifespan, improved literacy, electricity to every house, a higher GDP, etc.
Far better now , but Albania still strugges due to her communist past.
slaves?!!to day we are slaves ..

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.
This is so sad.

@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.

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

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.
he ahd more then one i think some say that the real one never even came out in public taht really raises teh question if it really was him that died in april 1985 hum??/

GDP ( Purchasing Power Parity) per capita of Albania
$1846.53 (1980) → $6901.01 (2008)
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?
@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.
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.
It was good, but before he died he left his people in paverty.
"Enver o lule me trise e fildhove me talone na le".
He had lifted many people out of poverty.
@@hoxhacat8195 Yea , by making Albania the poorest country in Europe.

ridiculous comment
@emerpus01 30 years.
Albania is and always will be strong without ISLAM. WE ARE ALBANIANS AND WE WILL ALWAYS BE UNITED AND STRONG
@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.
en büyük anti revizyonist çok yaşa hocaizm
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.
The "North Korea of Europe" is not a lie.
That announcer doesn't seem to be there.
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.
@radmilitant It wasn't that great. Now like any other Anti-Zionist Ideology, Communism gets a bad rap but Albania was meh tier. Hoxa lacked Gravitas.
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.

Why did he fall from grace?
He didn't. He died in office.
@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.
The dictator kim il sung southern europe version
the artistic vision is 100% the same
See "IMF - world economic outlook databases". Of course, I know the riot in 1997. But Albania hasn't experienced such a big riot after 1997.
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.
Prrall
Michael, you were a good cricketer, but little else
@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.
Albania was also poorest in Hoxhas time.
he put my whole family to jail because he accused them of being a spy, i havent seen my parents in 20 years
Are they free now or did they die?
He wasn't alive in 1990 so that's not even him.
On😂
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!
