Enver Hoxha (the communist leader of Albania from 1944 to 1985) wrote:
�The bourgeois and revisionist concept of life, putting money, pleasure, comfort, luxury, personal ease and well-being above everything, is alien to our people. The consequences of such a concept have become catastrophic in the countries ruled by the revisionists. Political degeneration, moral corruption, running after money and material gain, selfishness and frenzied individualism, the bourgeois way of life and fashion, and hooliganism are what characterise the life of these countries today, a life which is almost indistinguishable from that of western capitalist countries�.
