Welcome to the forum comrade! Indeed capitalism will swallow itself, but we must be there to ensure that socialism replaces it, and not something far worse. :)

Also, why do you think capitalism will "commit suicide"?

in Albania 5% of the people have more than 60% of national wealth. All policies made, roads, railways and everything else is made keeping in mind the businesses (client - ism). Nothing has changed from the time when Marx wrote the capital. We live in a time of modern slaves. The modern slave makes enough money to survive and the profit gained from his work is going to corporations. In the last years the world has experienced a little bit of bitterness of capitalism, so the modern slave was shaken from the sleep of lucrative dreams that capitalist propaganda machine produces for him. The world has never known a more cruel propaganda machine than what capitalism has produced.
in other words the goods are being produced by modern slaves, the meet is going to corporations and the bones are left to the slaves. All capitalist states are captured states and serve a small number of people (the rich). You cannot feed the masses with dreams of famous, rich and celebrities forever.
Dear comrade yes the economy is failing this system - it is eating itself, but we have a bigger problem afterwards. And they are the corporations. Do you think they will seat back and see their wealth go. They already have some experience with state matters, because now they are clients of the state and some of them run the state. two things can happen in the end, we either return power to the masses or we will end up with corporation-state.

Albania has indeed fared quite badly since 1991.

"With the fall of Communism schoolhouses were often see as symbols of the regime and therefore destroyed. The virulent revival of blood feuds, which a hapless central authority can do little to remedy, requires thousands of school-age children to stay at home. The economic disaster that is Albania has little funding left for education. The population of Tirana grew from approximately 300,000 in 1991 to almost one million in 2003, but not one new high school was built during that twelve-year period. The mass exodus of the best and the brightest — in the first ten years following the collapse of Communism possibly 20% of the population fled what they considered a hopeless situation — has resulted in an unprecedented brain-drain. Albanian education is in crisis with no quick fix in sight. Women's rights, another of Hoxha's achievements, have been severely set back with the explosion of human trafficking which has seen thousands of Albanian girls and women transported abroad for prostitution and thousands more kept home from school by their parents for fear of such forcible abduction... with patriotic intellectuals openly suggesting that the only way out of the morass may be for Albania to become a ward of the United Nations or an Italian condominium."
(Bernd J. Fischer (ed). Balkan Strongmen. West Lafayette, IN: Purdue University Press. 2007. pp. 266-267.)

Despite recent economic growth, a third of Albania's children live on less than $2 a day. And according to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), a staggering 35 percent of children in rural areas are malnourished; in urban areas, 17 percent are. In terms of child malnutrition – measured by the percentage of children under age 5 who are underweight – the World Bank puts Albania just above Republic of Congo and Zimbabwe.

Leonardo Menchini, a researcher for UNICEF's Innocenti Research Center in Florence, Italy, says no one is certain why so many children in Albania are malnourished and that more research needs to be done since the statistics are based only on a handful of studies. Still, he says, "The data for Albania are quite shocking."

Ms. Ymeraj says that it is difficult to compare the situation of children today with that during communist times, but that life has deteriorated for the poorest in a number of concrete ways.

The state no longer guarantees jobs, houses, or healthcare, as it did before. In rural areas, industry and state-farm collectives have collapsed, leaving people to fend for themselves, and many government services are no longer available. In rural areas, for example, 85 percent of secondary schools have shut their doors.

Researchers say that poverty is becoming increasingly entrenched, particularly in rural areas, among Albania's minority Roma population and in families with children. Indeed, across the region, countries with the lowest birthrates also have the lowest poverty levels...

Jalldyz Ymeri, a young grandmother who lives near the Daljani family, says in communist days she would not have nearly lost her 3-year-old grandson Orgito – a spiky-haired boy with angelic eyes – whom races around the family's dirt yard as she watches. A few months earlier, the boy fell seriously ill, and Ymeri had to bribe a doctor to see him.

"The medicines to cure him are very expensive," she says. "Sometimes we have to choose between food or medicine. Nobody will treat us if we don't pay."

"For us it was much better in communist times," insists Ymeri's husband, Safet. "We were obliged to go to school. The government gave us housing. We like democracy, but this is not real democracy."

Welcome comrade!

Capitalism will never complete suicide. It will always manage to wriggle out of its crises and continue living as a vampire if it is not slain by the class-conscious proletariat.

In the menu where you can make a post, you have a picture button. I'm not sure you can do pictures under the 25 postcount though.

And, as long as it is relevant, you may link to anything. But here also there is a limitation that you can only post links if you have more than 25 posts in the postcount (you have 1 right now). Do mind the privacy of yourself and others though.

He means as long as it is relevant and not a liability to the board.

In the Enver Hoxha group albania1978 said the following:

After the museum of Enver Hoxha was destroyed I was able to buy about 771 books of enver hoxha in many different languages. i know I had to spent a lot of money but it was the only way to save them.So far his efforts have been based on getting covers of books and photoalbums to show in the aforementioned Enver Hoxha group, which is why he asked.

He can send them to you some how and then you could post them, if he doesn't want to wait.
