The Communist International (Stalinists-Hoxhaists), also known as the Comintern (SH), is an international organization of self-declared "Stalinist-Hoxhaists". They hold several dogmatic positions, including the rejection of socialism in one country.
History
The Comintern (SH) started as a late reaction to the merger between the Communist Party of Germany/Marxist-Leninist (KPD/ML) and the Trotskyist International Marxist Group[1]. The party was founded by Wolfgang Eggers, who was a member of the KPD/ML for around two decades until the merger. After an 11-year wait, the internet made it possible for Eggers to organize once again, and thus, in 1997, he started up a website where he attempted to build a continuation of the KPD/ML[2].
Pre-International (1997–2000)
For his new successor party, Eggers reverted to the 1976 programme of the KPD/ML, which set the organization foward on an anti-revisionist path. Overall, the early years of the party's operation remained quiet, with a barely-active mailing list that contained discussion threads in both English and German. The most notable action of the party during this time was that it hosted an archive which contained English and German-language works by Lenin, Stalin and Hoxha, making it one of the earliest websites for Marxist literature in history[3].
Censorship
In late 2022, members of the Comintern (SH) where subjected to censorship on social media, particularly on the platforms of Facebook and Instagram, with a large amount of Stalinist-Hoxhaist content being taken down on labeled "spam", and the party symbol of the hammer-sickle-rifle[note 1] being branded as a "terrorist emblem". Other Comintern (SH) content on those platforms, especially those which were protesting the British monarchy, Zionism, and others were similarly removed.[4]

Vorwärts auf den Weg zur Schaffung einer neuen Partei der deutschen Arbeiterklasse im Sinne von Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin und Thälmann.”
