The Party of Labour of Albania was the ruling party of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania from 1945-1991, when a bourgeois counter-revolution resulted in a Capitalist government being installed.
The Party of Labour of Albania had its orgins in various Anti-fascist and Marxist organisations that resisted the Monarchy and later the Fascist Italian colonisers, and itself would form in 1941 under the name of the Communist Party of Albania. After succeeding in liberating Albania from Fascist Imperialists, the Communist Party would begin to develop a People's Democracy, as well as recover Albania from its war-torn state, and develop Socialism. It would be renamed to the Party of Labour in 1948.[1]
Led by Enver Hoxha, who served as general secretary, the Party of Labour would later lead a struggle against Khrushchevite, Titoist, Maoist, and Dengist revisionism and social-imperialism. While often portrayed both in Western and post-Stalin Soviet propaganda as a dogmatic "Stalinist" party, the Party of Labour, and Enver Hoxha himself, were in fact theoretically progressive, and their ideas would later form the basis for the modern ideology of Hoxhaism, which is followed by Communists globally.[2]
The modern legacy of the Party of Labour of Albania can be seen in modern political parties like the Socialist Party of Albania, or the Reorganised Party of Labour of Albania.
