This is a good nonsectarian analysis of US ML parties.

        Hoxhaism is objectively the funniest ideology because I have no idea what it is and no one seems to particularly care about what it is

            just looked it up and Wikipedia says that hoxhaism believes in

            Hoxhaism asserts the right of nations to pursue socialism by different paths, dictated by the conditions in those countries,[5] although Hoxha personally held the view that Titoism was “anti-Marxist” in overall practice.[6][7]

            and

            fierce criticism of virtually all other communist groupings as revisionist

            How do these two things make sense together?

              In my limited experience with Hoxhaists, they’re basically Maoists except 10x more annoying.

              Albania fucked up hard in decrying basically all other socialist projects. The CPC posited that the USSR had become revisionist in its shift towards explicit anti-‘stalinism’, why not ally with them?

              Nah. Not ideologically pure enough ❌️❌️❌️

              Hoxha really flipped off the entire contemporary socialist world, and for what? Decaying bunkers transformed into sexual hideaways, and a niche ideological progeny comprised of useless “left” anti-communists.

              It is possible I am missing important context. However, my opinion is that all of those international splits were the dumbest fucking things in the world.

              They all occured in the heyday of U.S. intelligence operations, so, many conflicts arose almost certainly from imperial sabotage and false information.

              Much of it is far more moronic, however, from ideological puritan testing from Albania to Yugoslavia basically ghosting the international communist movement and throwing themselves at the U.S.'s feet for protection from le evil Red Empire!!! 😳😳😳 (likely misinformation campaigns that led to this, I’d wager). Don’t get me started on the Sino-Soviet split. We could have had a socialist world by now! 😭

                I know nothing concrete about this besides what you just told me, so I shall avoid liberalism by commenting. (I agree)
