I have been reading Hoxha's "EuroCommunism is Anti-Communism" andi quite enjoy it, he was a good writer.
But i have a question, what does he define as "Socialism"? Because he accuses Mao Zedong having sucked up to US capital. I of course agree that industrialisation does not necessarily need foreign capital, but the initial tried industrialisation of Mao China during the Great Leap forward failed. Can you explain what he is suggesting would be an "anti-revisionist" way of going about industrialisation?

Yes, well so called "Stalinists" seem to put things very simply which gives the appearance of what you said "secret anti-communists".

..at least i mean the majority of the advocates of revisionism, i don't doubt that leaders of these organs in fact genuinely cling to the bourgeoisie or that they in effect are anti-communist.

So i have further read and thought about this Opportunism theory, and i disagree with the perspective of the definition that you gave me. I cannot imagine that persons would deliberately advocate revisionist ideas simply in order to keep the bourgeoisie alive. I think revisionists and "opportunists" merely hold those anti-marxist positions because they are pressured by the bourgeoisie and are ideologically weak. That is my opinion on the issue anyway, most revisionists i've met have held those positions because they did not want to be seen as "too extreme" and that kind of thing.

Thanks! I am ordering the first book. Do you have any web links, too? Thanks again!

Hello, comrade. I was wondering if you had links to good sources on Enver Hoxha's Albania. Specifically, sources that provide economic data, such as economic growth, health provision, medical data, industrialization, etc

Can i ask you what makes you use the word "opportunistic", what qualifies opportunism? I do not have a understanding of how this is negative; do you mean they don't have an own opinion but take the opinion which helps them gain power? If so, politicians are all opportunists to a degree, it is near to inevitable in my opinion that any hierarchical organisation after a while will not fall to persons who seek to change their opinion to opportune power interests. This is why i advocate a workers control over the wealth they produce, a type of levered interest of the working class, by making the state "beg" workers enterprises for funds for its necessary state actions. I find this democratic hold between state and societal wealth (to a degree) an important aspect of fighting revisionism once the first revolutionary steps of nationalization/economy of the economy has been taken under the original vanguard leadership which is mostly always genuine.
