    Hoxha definitely had some charisma to him in the way he presented himself and the way he spoke(almost like a caring father to his children).
    Also the video doesn't explain the paranoia of Enver Hoxha towards all religions. Since 1967 all religious practices were banned and religious institutions closed.

      That’s what I heard. I heard that Enver Hoxha ordered the closing of all churches and mosques in Albania. Other communist countries might’ve oppressed Christians, but Albania just took it to the next level.

    In fairness, Albania is investing huge sums of money (European funds, Italian investments etc) and is progressing rapidly. Turism is beginning to boom and there's an awful lot of construction works going on in Tirana.

      They still had the misfortune to fall prey to one of the most obvious ponzi schemes in history. My dad remembers in a hospital there a person taking a knife and opening a pillow with lots of dried blood coming out. This despite how white the pillow was on the outside.

    When I had foot surgery last year, my roommate was an 82-year-old man from Lushnjë Albania. He moved to the US in the 70's. He could speak English but chose to speak Albanian as he didn't speak in full sentences in English. And his translator that the hospital had is also from Albania. He absolutely hated Hoxha/ The Translator was too young, at the time and her family came to the US right after Hoxha died. I learned more about Albania from the man than I did from anyone else. But I didn't dare ask him anything about the Albanian mafia, because well, you never ask an Albanian about their mafia.

    Back during the Cold War, I listened to a LOT of Short Wave radio. “Radio Tirana “ was one of the worst for Propaganda❗️
    They were so bad, that they made Radio Moscow World Service, and Radio Havana seem WEAK.
    Their rhetoric was off the charts.
    [ I still listen to Short Wave radio , as there are still 14 countries that still broadcast in English.].

    Enver Hoxha Is A Legend And Will Be Always Remembered In World's Human History As The One And Only Leader In The World Who Had A Guts To Slap GOD In The Face! What I Mean By That Is That In 1967 Enver Hoxha Declared 'ALBANIA The First Atheist State In The World!' This Atheist Declaration That No Man Has Done Before In The World In Any Country Until Then Sent Shockwaves Around The World & Scorn, Especially From The West. LOL The Twist Of This ATHEIST Thing Is That What Enver Hoxha Did In 1967 - Sweden Is Doing It Now! In 2024 Sweden Is Declared As The Most Atheist State In The World ... 57 Years After Enver Hoxha The Great Did That & Become The First Man In The World Who Slapped God In The Face. Enver Hoxha Is My Hero For Doing That.
