Hoxhaism Questions

Just working off of wiki-tier knowledge, as I haven't talked to an actual Hoxhaist before. As I understand it, Hoxhaists are anti-revisionist MLs, and are related to MLMs somehow (I think). What exactly do Hoxhaists believe? Being anti-revisionist, I assume they are pro-Stalin, anti USSR after Stalin. Wikipedia suggests that Hoxhaism supported nations determining their own path for Socialist development, rather than the USSR model.Which aspects of Maoism do they accept? People's War? Are they Third Worldist's?

The MLM thing is just part of the Sino-Soviet split, IIRC Hoxha eventually called the PRC revisionists too, panicked, and built a fuckload of bunkers after realising that the revisionists were out to get him.

IIRC Hoxha's defense strategy was based on Maoist protracted people's war. That's why Albania had militias and fucktons of bunkers.

No

Hoxhaists and MLM's are both some kind of anti-revisionists, but Hoxhaists are pretty anti-Mao. Hoxha had a massive hate-boner for Mao and called him a revisionist and shit.

Wasn't there a small scale Mao style Cultural Revolution in Albania?

the best way to describe Hoxhaism from a Hoxhaist perspective is basically Marxist-Leninist Anti-revisionism thats anti-Khrushchevist anti-third worldism and anti-MLM/maoism but only after mao lost it and buddies up with the U.S ant anti-titoist

most people make fun of Hoxha because of "Muh bunkers" but the bunkers did have a actual purpose
it turns out that when both the capitalist and """socialist""" world hates you the odds of invasion tend to go up

I think the criticism of the bunkers is largely that they were plopped in random places of little strategic importance and used costly concrete to construct instead of a better use of materials, like sand bags.

During a homelessness crisis, and with such a design that encouraged bullet ricochets, too, if I remember right.

another common misconception about Hoxhaism/Hoxhaist Albania was that it was some sort of """national-communist""" romania or NK kind closed nation "socialism in one nation" idea
the opposite is true Hoxha believed in internationalism he even at one point suggested to maoist china before it went full revision that Albania China and a few other nations should form a "New Cominterm" to compete against the capitalist west AND the revisionist east

true
but it should also be taken into account that Hoxha Had no illusions about his nation surviving a Western/Eastern Block invasion and that was one of the main reason Hoxhaist Albania spent the resources organizing militias on top of the regular Armed forces
