Enver Hoxha and the struggle for the emancipation of women

[Vox Populi]

The subjugation of women by the capitalist system is a major obstacle to social revolution. The institutions (governmental, industrial, military etc.) of nearly every society are emphatically patriarchal and male-orientated. As Connolly put it “The worker is the slave of capitalist society, the female worker is the slave of that slave.” Mid-20th century Albania was no exception.

Well he played an active role in an anti-imperialist conflict and was a key figure in the building of a new state after the defeat of the occupation, so I think he is in some way relevant to the Irish question and all struggles for national liberation.

According to the book 'The Chinese Secret Service', in 1972, the Official IRA Director of Operations visited Tirana. Statements from the INLA and IRA were broadcast over Radio Tirana too.

Hoxha always hated the Brits. Wish he had done more for Republicans.
