The fundamental difference

Hoxhaism is the further development of Stalinism [which in turn is the further development of Marxism-Leninism - we therefore speak of the 5 Classics of Marxism-Leninism as the basis of today's Stalinist-Hoxhaist World Movement].

Maoism is the further development of modern revisionism.

Hoxhaism is the ideology of the world proletariat, Maoism is an ideology of the world bourgeoisie within the world communist movement.

Both ideologies are therefore hostile ( antagonistic ) to each other, fight each other, are irreconcilable.

Hoxhaism will triumph over Maoism because Hoxhaism is the ideology of an emerging class that overthrows the dying class. Maoism tries in vain to save the dying class [the dying class and its capitalist system cannot be saved] and in doing so [not only wage slavery, but also] the ideology of the world proletariat.

So much for the principled answer to the question.

the historical and materialist difference:

It is well known that modern revisionism in the form of Titoism seized political power for the first time in the world and thus initially prevented Yugoslavia from becoming a socialist country, or to put it another way: Yugoslavia was the first country that world imperialism broke away from the socialist world camp.

World imperialism used many dollars to create an initial social base and an initial divisive lever within the global communist movement, within Comrade Stalin's rapidly growing and increasingly threatening world socialist camp. The goal of world imperialism was clear: to infiltrate, divide and ultimately liquidate communism in order to escape its own demise, or at least to delay it.

At the consultation of the Communist and Workers' Parties, the Yugoslav revisionism was condemned by all parties, but in the meantime the Soviet revisionists had established secret contacts with it, and the Yugoslav and Soviet revisionists were united in their fight against Stalinism. When Comrade Enver Hoxha raised his voice in defense of Stalinism at this historic meeting, it soon became clear that the split in the world communist movement could not be prevented, but the movement itself could not be liquidated.

There were more and more communists in the world who were not willing to follow the revisionist course in the world communist movement and who held on to Stalinism. Soon these anti-revisionist currents took on organizational forms in many countries of the world, and a new Marxist-Leninist world movement emerged, so that from then on two camps were hostile to each other: the world camp of Marxist-Leninists and the world camp of modern revisionists.

Maoism initially adopted a centrist, conciliatory position. With this ideological position, Maoism tried to gain influence in both the one and the other world camp in order to take the lead as the laughing third. In the Chinese general line ("Polemic" 1963), this line of approach is outlined and later further concretized in the "theory of 3 worlds". To make China a superpower, Mao first had to eliminate the biggest competitor - the Soviet Union. To this end, Maoism allied itself with American imperialism and also tried to force Comrade Enver Hoxha's Marxist-Leninist World Movement to follow this path, which, as is well known, it did not succeed in doing.

It is also known that in the 1970s, especially after Nixon's visit to Beijing, Maoism adopted an openly hostile attitude towards Hoxhaism and broke off support for socialist Albania.

The split of the Marxist-Leninist World Movement became inevitable. Thus arose the world camp of Maoism and the world camp of Hoxhaism, which are now openly and irreconcilably opposed to each other - until today.

Enver Hoxha has clearly defined the historical role of Maoism:

When world imperialism had failed to eliminate the danger of the world socialist revolution with the help of modern revisionism of the Yugoslavs (non-aligned countries) and Soviets ("Eastern bloc"), that is, the entire revisionist world camp, only Chinese revisionism remained as a lifeline.

Should the USA collapse, China would remain as the future world center of capitalism. What we see today seems to confirm Enver Hoxha's prediction. China has already become an imperialist superpower that fulfills all the Leninist characteristics of imperialism, that is, the characteristics of parasitic, decaying and dying capitalism. The center of world capitalism is rapidly shifting from the West to the East, especially as a result of today's world crisis of capitalism.

The further development of the difference between Hoxhaism and Maoism

When considering the difference between Maoism and Hoxhaism, it should not be forgotten that Hoxhaism matured and developed on socialist soil (Albania), while Maoism developed on capitalist soil (China). In contrast to Stalinism-Hoxhaism, which emerged on socialist soil, Titoism, Maoism, Castroism, North Korean revisionism, etc. did NOT develop on socialist soil. Hoxhaism is based on two socialist countries - the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin and socialist Albania - the only countries in the world built on the foundations of Marxism-Leninism.

If we look at the world communist movement today, we must clearly emphasize the current that consistently and uncompromisingly relies on these two socialist countries [and the ideology they have produced] and on no one else - the current of the Stalinists-Hoxhaists.

This current emerged in the year 2000 with the founding of the Comintern/ML [today the Comintern (SH)].

Stalinism-Hoxhaism is the only current in the world communist movement that consistently and uncompromisingly opposes Maoism - and does so from the foundations of the 5 Classics of Marxism-Leninism.
