According to western sources. The same sources that would have you believe the DRPK is a dictatorship.

Actually I don't get any information about Albania from western sources. The west simply doesn't bother talking about Albania all that much. I doubt you could find many westerners who even know where Albania is.

Where I get my information on Albania is from Albanians now living in Canada, who like many other Albanians fled the awful economic conditions of their homeland and posed as Greeks in various countries throughout the EU, eventually making their way here. And all of them agree that Albania under Hoxha was absolutely dreadful. In fact, if you dare broach the subject, you yourself will be subject to hours of increasingly drunken lectures. They will go on and on about trying to get permits to buy refrigerators, about the constant fear of being put into work camps, or of having actually BEEN in such, etc etc. It's depressing beyond belief. I've yet to meet an Albanian who didn't so virulently hate communism that it borders on the obsessive, and to be honest, given the circumstances they've lived through, I can't really blame them, even though it makes them seem a little silly sometimes when they get all suspicious about 'socialist' programs here.

So no. My sources are Albanian.

Have you ever seen communism first hand? If you did, you would fight for it too.


Which part would you fight for the most -- the arbitary arrests, the one-candidate elections, or the substandard healthcare and education?

From what Albanian Jews tell me, they hate Serbians with a bigger passion then communism.

That wasn't the point.

But it WAS hilarious.

So is he a communist furry or a communist pedo?

I don't think Hoxha would have approved of either.

Because it is -- or do you honestly think that their one-candidate elections and the communist party's iron-fisted control means it's a shining beacon of democracy?

See, I always knew Canada was run by Communists, with their state-sponsored igloos and pot-smoking beavers. (Which, by the way, clears up where the Russians got those hats) Although, to be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing a beaver smoke a doobie, that'd probably be pretty entertaining. I did see one smoke a cigar once, but that was in Tijuana.

I don't know what 'diaper-fur' is, but judging from the way it sounds, he might be both.

Ugh, that's another awful thing. I have a good friend who is a Serbian, lovely person, and another friend who married and Albanian. The Serb and the Albanian simply CANNOT get along. It's painful to watch. She's better at it than he is, for whatever reason, but he just can't get over it.

Besides, a people who have an expression of endearment that translates to "I'll eat your heart" sorta scare me.

I...think he's saying come to Canada and join a work brigade that then goes to Cuba and does stuff. Not that Canada is communist.

No, Albanians who fled their country because things are dirty and corrupt, who hate that Albania is so fucked up, yet who would also not want to return to the 'grand old years' of torture, forced labour, and a complete lack of civil and political rights.

I don't really care about your sources. When it comes to learning about places, I trust people who come from those places.

Then again, I'm not trying to win a debate here, so relying on anecdotal evidence on my side is fine. You, however, are making claims that need some backing up.

It's fine to speak for yourself. However, you've gone and put words into other people's mouths, and have spoken on their behalf. I doubt you have the qualifications or the factual background to do so.
