What contributions did he make towards Marxism? I honestly do not know much about him beyond something about dogmatism and not supporting many post-Stalin figures. Also, what is your opinion on actually existing socialist countries?
He wrote about organisational tasks. My organisation has some of his works in high regard, but I haven't got there yet.
Hoxha defended the legacy of Stalin when the rest of the world was eating up propaganda against him, exposing the anti-communist and anti-Leninist deviations of Khrushchev and the Warsaw Pact countries
His works help refine the importance of the Party as vanguard of proletarian revolution
Exposed Titoism as the first manifestation of modern revisionism or revisionism in power
Deepened the revolution at home through a genuine cultural revolution
Supported the development of new Leninist Parties across the world

I agree with critical support for AES states. But I do not agree with dogmatically supporting all of their choices. We can do better and should strive to.
No one mentioned dogmatically supporting AES states, so bringing up that is weird. Also, do you mean a cultural revolution like the one in the PRC?
Any time I bring up a viewpoint that runs counter to the CPC, I typically get a lot of flak in this comm. I apologize for assuming in this instance.
The Albanian cultural revolution was inspired by the cultural revolution in the PRC, but was implemented differently and yielded much more positive results.
What is an example of a viewpoint you hold that runs counter to the CPC? Also do you support the Cultural Revolution that happened in the PRC?
The last one was disagreeing with their trading with Israel. Another was saying certain actions of theirs were imperialistic.
I think the idea behind the cultural revolution was sound, but it's implementation was incredibly flawed. Students were often pitted against workers, sowing chaos that led to the government having to send in troops to restore order against a movement they themselves initiated.
