@Dpb ! You were shit under communism!

@@michelesanpietro3013 No they weren't. You "learned" history from a biased viewpoint and it shows. Long live communist Albania.

@@user-sx2fg2fh6v It doesn't live anymore, thank God... you really don't know what you're talking about.

@@michelesanpietro3013 Yeah but it's great to know it used to be around.

It was necessary, they were bordered by Yugoslavia which was a hostile state that tried to make Albania their puppet state in 1946-48. They attempted to structure the Albanian economy to be supplementary to, and dependent on, Yugoslavia - which destroyed relations between these countries. Albania split from the USSR because the leadership deviated from basic Marxist principles after 1956, and fully disengaged with the bloc after the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. This left them with no regional allies who could help them in case of an invasion, they were isolated. They also bordered Greece, which was a NATO country and signatory to the Western-aligned military alliance called the Balkan Pact, which also included Turkey (NATO member state) and Yugoslavia, who was not a NATO member but received military aid from the USA under this pact. Given the easily observable pattern of American anti-communist aggression, Hoxha saw to it that the Albanian proletariat had the training and the means to defend their country against imperialism. And it was not the only thing their educational training went to. Albania was a highly accomplished country, for being so internationally isolated it was not easy to build a self-sustainable economy and still provide/improve upon quality services for their people. Education and healthcare were comprehensive and free, healthcare included annual state-sponsored trips to coastal resorts for each worker. Agricultural equipment was half a century behind yet they managed to keep the shelves full with food every year, and living standards slowly but surely improved in accordance with the economic plans that Albania’s top scientists calculated and produced.

no complains. Education good enough for what needed. Even for bunkers, as a gift for you!

What do you mean Albania wasn't poor? Store shelves were empty and people were starving, while money was being spent toward tons of concrete to build bunkers(750,000) for protection from an attack that never happened and factories on a failed attempt of the country's industrialization. The dictator built a submarine fleet, which was a luxury to even rich countries. I'll admit there was more order, but on the other hand oppression of free speech and thought was extreme. He managed to brainwash a whole people by closing them down and feeding them lies. If communism was so good, why did people want change after the dictator's death, after finding out what was happening out there and what shitty lives they were living? Stop talking nonsense

I think indeed at the time, people wanted the economy and social security of a socialist nation, but without the strict state security. However now the state security is gone but so is the economy and social system. This is a common disillusion in the former eastern block, that they where not able to keep their standard of living without political repression. I think of it as a trade of.

Long Live Atheist World!

Socialism was shit.

@@michelesanpietro3013 even if that was true it would still be a million times better than capitalism.

@@saffa321 The thousands of Albanians who fled from the Communist regime in 1991 and precipitated its fall don't think like you! I'm sorry to say that, but you make yourself laughed at by posting such hogwash.

Yeah except religion was completely banned and it had the worst living standard in Europe at the time. Please don’t speak for us.

USSR was better.

@@RakhmanovRecords that comment wasn’t even against this disgusting commie bullshit, but this one is.

@@RakhmanovRecords I wasn’t told by American education how bad communism was. I was told by family how bad it was because they experienced it first hand as Albanians.

@@credo3497 they were lying too : none of the nations could reach a communist society stage. I was born and grown up, educated in the USSR and it was the best country. People studied, worked, enjoyed life free of banks and TV commercials. Capitalism is the worst what I've seen.

@@RakhmanovRecords They weren’t lying. USSR was much more wealthy and successful than Yugoslavia, Albania ETC. My parents didn’t have electricity or plumbing, had military regularly inspect their villages for weapons, had god-awful infrastructure, and if they were caught with any religious things, they would have been arrested. I would have preferred that we have just stayed as tribalistic mountain people than government worshipping cultists. I don’t like capitalism either, but I view distributism as a much better alternative.

Simply not true.

@@saffa321 Yes it is.

nothing beautiful comes without great endeavor if it ever does, then it's too good to be true

If you want to see hardship and miserable life go to capitalist Haiti or Philippines.
