Ah, almost forgot about that guy. Not sure if he was as Maoist as he was earlier, he seemed to have slid into "Marxist-Leninism" with a particular focus on 'anti-imperialism' and technocracy (ie all the threads made in science forum). He's still posting at that blog of his though, looking at the links he had in his profile. Just not around here anymore.

The other more 'visible' Maoists such as Mosfeld or Zenga Zenga seem to have become inactive too.

TBH I never saw them posting all that much outside of particular fixations. Mosfeld along with some others who have since left the site or been banned were active in Nepal threads, while Zenga Zenga was mostly in Libya threads. As far as I'm concerned they probably just got fed up that this forum was more or less hostile to their positions. Couldn't mesh here.

[GoddessCleoLover]

I remember back in the 70s there existed several MLM organizations that were more numerous that their Trotskyist counterparts. In addition there was THE Guardian newspaper which was at least quasi-MLM. Three of the MLM groups proclaimed themselves to be vanguard parties despite their lack of hegemony over even the MLM left let alone the broader far left. Within a few years Deng Xiaoping had led the PRC in a more capitalistically oriented direction, which caused profound fissures within the MLM "parties". Thirty years later the sole remaining organizational remnant of the 70s "new communist movement" is Bob Avakian's personality cult. IMO MLM/"new communist movement" is a closed chapter in the history of the left, ruined by a combination of its practical organizational sectarianism and it dogmatic hero-worship of bloody dictators such as Mao, Stalin, Enver Hoxha, and Kim Il Sung.

[Ismail]

Actually Kim Il Sung tended to be disliked since he preferred to vacillate between the USSR and China rather than actually adopt an anti-revisionist position.

Also when Hoxha denounced China most Maoists strongly attacked him. The Avakianites called him a "dogmato-revisionist," Shining Path called him a "chauvinist" and capitalist, etc.

The Maoist movement petered out because in the end a lot of its adherents were middle-class youth who thought Stalin made "mistakes" whereas Mao was this bright, energetic "non-dogmatic" type of guy who supposedly noted these "mistakes" and somehow advanced Marxism-Leninism onto a qualitatively new stage which, of course, became Mao Zedong Thought. As said youth grew up they became increasingly liberal in their outlook and abandoned Marxism. It was similar to British and French Trotskyism of the 1930's-80's, where a lot were youths grew up and became reactionaries.

[Ismail]

On Mao's Confucian outlook and influences, Hoxha also took notice:

There was also the fact that the CCP from its very start had racialist and "Oriental" outlooks which were amplified under Mao to produce a sort of "Asian Communism." As Hoxha notes: "In these conditions, with those concepts the CCP could never be a Marxist-Leninist party. The philosophy which guided it was idealist bourgeois, retrograde, because China itself, its society despite its democratic bourgeois revolution, has remained a closed society, with old beliefs and mentality dominated by mysticism and by philosophical and organisational state principles archaic in essence but which have allegedly evolved superficially. We can see this in the construction and form of the state, in the development of the economy, in the way the education and cultural system has been built, in the organisation of the army, etc. Everything bore the specific Chinese seal, from ideological literature down to the slogans." (1978 letter to Hysni Kapo in Letra të zgjedhura Vol. I, p. 396.) In this same letter Hoxha noted, "The ideological, political and organisational principles of the CCP and Mao Zedong are principles of a pronounced pragmatic philosophy with clear aims of transforming the 'eternal' China into a superpower to dominate the world." He further referred to Mao as, "an idealist dreamer and visionary, without general culture (except that of Chinese antiquity) [who has] followed the course of the history of mankind as [a] most xenophobic dilettante."

Yet Hoxha concluded his letter in hopeful spirits: "Terrible storms have and will pass over the Chinese people, but the day will come when, even there the theory of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin will triumph. The present and coming generations of China will understand and will say: 'The Party of Labour of Albania opened our eyes, it acted correctly, it exposed Mao Zedong thought because it loved the Chinese proletarian revolution, because it wanted to dispel the destructive myths created in China, which hindered the happiness of this great people, who want to live in genuine socialism.'"

[GoddessCleoLover]

No surprise that Avakian would prefer a dead Mao to a then-living Hoxha, as the deceased can be venerated without a presenting a leadership threat. Avakian never really had that many followers, and he lost about forty percent of his "party" in the late 70s to the "Revolutionary Workers' Headquarters". Chairman Bob and his followers are apparently about the last remnant that exists of the American MLM tendency and that is a sorrowful epitaph for that movement.

I don't mean to be unkind, but after more than forty years of Hoxha's rule Albania was still a desperately poor country and policies such as wasting labor and resources on those bunkers did not aid Albania's development. Then there is the fact that following Hoxha's death his legacy dissipated rather quickly for a man who ruled for so long and there seems to be nothing left but all of those volumes of his writings. This might lead one to conclude that Enver Hoxha was rooted excessively in his theories, without due regard to developing a revolutionary praxis that might have survived his death.

[Ismail]

Someone should make a coffee table bookHere's an English-language coffee-table book from 1986: http://www.enverhoxha.ru/Archive_of_books/Enver_Hoxha_His_Life_and_Work.pdf


Comrade Enver had a special ability to sum up and draw very important conclusions from even a simple action of the revolutionary practice of the masses. By observing and studying the development of the present-day revolutionary movement, the international situation and the dialectical process of the progress of the Albanian society, he dealt with a series of capital questions of the world revolution and the socialist construction of Albania with complete scientific competence. His Marxist opinion carries solid weight in matters of philosophy and politics, ideology and the economy, culture and art, in military and international issues....

The present and future generations will be guided by his teachings. Faced with any major question, faced with any difficulty or obstacle, they will seek the advice of Enver. And Enver will assist them. He will give them answers through his work.:D

Hoxha's early critique of the "Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" in 1966: http://marxists.org/reference/archive/hoxha/works/1966/10/01.htm

(I uploaded it and had a topic on RevLeft back it back when I did)

The two volumes of Hoxha's Reflections on China, a collection of diary entries from 1962-1977:
http://www.enverhoxha.ru/Archive_of_books/English/enver_hoxha_reflections_on_china_volume_I_eng.pdf
http://www.enverhoxha.ru/Archive_of_books/English/enver_hoxha_reflections_on_china_volume_II_eng.pdf


Meanwhile, with the line it is following and the stands it adopts, China says «stop» to the revolution. It professes a new revisionism, which is a variant of modern revisionism, a markedly opportunist form of distortion of our Marxist-Leninist ideology. Its objective, in essence, in theory and in practice, is to hinder and stop the revolution, to preserve the status quo of the so-called free and independent states, which, in fact, are dominated by the local big capitalist cliques which are in alliance with American imperialism, and to arouse these states to fight against Soviet social-imperialism. «The fight» of this «third world», in which China has included itself, is carried out in alliance with American imperialism.

Thus China, with the aid of American imperialism, relying on it and posing as a member of the «third world» itself, wants to stop the revolution and to gain time so that it, too, can become a superpower. Such a thing is in the interests of the United States of America, because, by pursuing this line, China not only hinders the revolution and distorts the Marxist-Leninist ideology, but at the same time serves the maintenance of the status quo, i.e., protects the markets of American imperialism and the big national bourgeoisie of every state, until, by plunging into this anti-Marxist, anti-socialist course, China itself manages to become another superpower in order to balance the two existing superpowers.

The duty devolves upon us Albanian Marxist-Leninists to explain this line of China's and we shall make this explanation, basing ourselves, as always, on our great teachers, Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, who have made these questions very clear. Not only at its 7th Congress, but since the time it was founded, our Party has always proceeded according to the teachings of our classics, has understood them correctly in theory, and has applied them correctly in practice, too.


It must be admitted that the reactionary world bourgeoisie has followed and studied the development of the policy and ideology of Mao Tsetung, the development of political-ideological struggles in China, more carefully not only in the periods prior to the revolution, but also during the revolution. Precisely because the reactionary world bourgeoisie saw that this policy and this ideology had its specific Chinese Asiatic character, was far removed from Marxism-Leninism, it has defended, supported and propagated it, moreover as Marxist-Leninist. In its own writings and publications, the bourgeoisie clearly sets out the orientation of the policy and ideology of Mao Tsetung and describes it not as Marxist, but as a revolutionary bourgeois ideology and, in fact, that is what it is. It was in the interests of imperialism, world capitalism, that China, a huge continent, you might say, should continue on this course, should follow the political and ideological orientation of Mao Tsetung, which one day would come into open opposition to scientific Marxism, because China would not follow the road of scientific Marxism.

You're hell bent on necromancy, ain't that right Ismail? I'd bet that you have your little Hoxha rant every time you're about to sleep with someone too.

[Susurrus]

"As Hoxha wrote on his napkin in 1957,

When sleeping with people without a wish to conceive children, a true communist must use contraception in the tradition of Marxism-Leninism. Until the dictatorship of the proletariat crushes all the remains of bourgeois culture, it is traditional for the male to provide said contraception. As such, it is vital that contraception be one of the first areas of the economy to be collectivized."

The large-scale collectivization of agriculture did begin in 1957... :D

I guess Hoxha wanted to plough everyone

I think somebody here needs to create a mod for a spell in Skyrim:

"Conjure Envar Hoxha"

And he recites random verses from his 100+ volumes before he is bludgened or subject to a banish daedra spell.

That ought to keep Ismail busy for a few years
