Editing Stalinism (section)

=== Maoism and Hoxhaism ===
[[Mao Zedong]] famously declared that Stalin was 70% good and 30% bad. [[Maoism|Maoists]] criticized Stalin chiefly for his view that bourgeois influence within the Soviet Union was primarily a result of external forces, to the almost complete exclusion of internal forces, and his view that class contradictions ended after the basic construction of socialism. Mao also criticized Stalin's cult of personality and the excesses of the great purge. But Maoists praised Stalin for leading the Soviet Union and the international proletariat, defeating fascism in Germany, and his [[anti-revisionism]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Mao's Evaluations of Stalin|url=http://www.massline.org/SingleSpark/Stalin/StalinMaoEval.htm|access-date=August 3, 2014|website=MassLine}}</ref>

Taking the side of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] in the [[Sino-Soviet split]], the [[People's Socialist Republic of Albania]] remained committed, at least theoretically, to its brand of Stalinism ([[Hoxhaism]]) for decades under the leadership of [[Enver Hoxha]]. Despite their initial cooperation against "[[Revisionism (Marxism)|revisionism]]", Hoxha denounced Mao as a revisionist, along with almost every other self-identified communist organization worldwide, resulting in the [[Sino-Albanian split]]. This effectively isolated Albania from the rest of the world, as Hoxha was hostile to both the pro-American and pro-Soviet spheres of influence and the Non-Aligned Movement under the leadership of [[Josip Broz Tito]], whom Hoxha had also previously denounced.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hoxha |first=Enver Halil |title=The Titoites |url=http://www.marx2mao.com/Other/TT82NB.html |access-date=2023-01-14 |website=From Marx to Mao |page=501}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |title= Imperialism and the Revolution |date=1979 |first1=Enver |last1=Hoxha |chapter-url=https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hoxha/works/imp_rev/imp_ch1.htm |chapter=I - The Strategy of Imperialism and Modern Revisionism |access-date=2023-01-14 |via=Marxists Internet Archive }}</ref>
