Hoxhaism is a variant of anti-revisionist Marxism–Leninism and developed in 1970s due to the Sino–Albanian split. The ideology is named after Enver Hoxha, the leader of the former People's Socialist Republic of Albania. Hoxhaists usually view themselves as strictly Marxist–Leninists as opposed to being part of a distinct trend or sub-ideology. Other adherents of this tendency, like the members and supporters of the Comintern (SH), consider their theory of Stalinism–Hoxhaism as a theoretical evolution from Marxism–Leninism.[1]
Characteristics

He also criticized the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Pact, formally withdrawing Albania from the alliance in response.
