Hoxhaism

[1] The ideology is named after Enver Hoxha, First Secretary of the Party of Labour from 1941 to 1985 and leader of Albania from 1944 to 1985.

The term Hoxhaism is rarely employed by the organizations which are associated with this trend, with Hoxhaists viewing Hoxha's theoretical contributions to Marxism as strictly an augmentation of anti-revisionism rather than a distinct ideology.

[4] Critical of the United States, the Soviet Union, China, and Yugoslavia, Enver Hoxha labeled the latter three "social imperialist" and condemned the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, before withdrawing Albania from the Warsaw Pact in response.

[5] Hoxhaism asserts the right of nations to pursue socialism by different paths, dictated by the conditions in those countries,[6] although Hoxha personally held the view that Titoism was "anti-Marxist" in overall practice.

[7][8] Following the fall of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania in 1991, many Hoxhaist parties grouped themselves around the International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations (Unity & Struggle), an international conference founded in 1994, and its publication Unity and Struggle.
