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.
Characteristics
One of the main characteristics is the defense of Joseph Stalin and organization of USSR under him. Another important characteristic is criticism of most ideologies as revisionist.
Hoxha was critical of other countries in the Eastern Bloc, mostly the post-Stalin Soviet Union, China and Yugoslavia, labeling them as social imperialists. He also criticized the intervention of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact, formally withdrawing Albania from the alliance in response.
Hoxhaism believes that every country can get to socialism and communism in different ways.
