Dear Comrades of the Albanian Section of the Comintern (SH)!
The Comintern (SH) congratulates you to today's 80th anniversary of the founding of the Albanian Trade Unions (ATU).
We remember all veterans and heroes of socialist work, the old activists and members of the Albanian Unions and the heroic working class of Albania.
This day is not only of great importance for the construction of socialism in your home country , but also of great importance for the international revolutionary trade union movement. With their courageous struggle against international bourgeois reformist and revisionist trade unions, the Albanian unions became leader of the world revolutionary trade union movement. We assure you that the Comintern (SH) and the Red International of Labour Unions defend this revolutionary banner of the Albanian unions not only faithfully, but carry it forward in today's struggle for world socialism.
In October 1945, a few months before the founding of the Albanian Unions, the World Federation of Trade Unions was established. The Albanian Unions led a heroic struggle for the revolutionary union line against the union revisionist line within the WFTU.
It is now to continue this heroic struggle for the destruction of the revisionist WFTU until the final victory of the Red International of Trade Unions. Our basic objective is clear:
In world socialism there is no place for bourgeois reformist-revisionist unions. If we want to smash world capitalism, then we must also smash its capitalist unions.
The aim of the RILU is to fight for the construction of world socialism in the same way as the Albanian Unions have fought for the construction of socialism in Albania.
The international leadership of the Albanian Unions in the world revolutionary trade union movement was based on the Hoxhaism.
The Hoxhaist tactics of the struggle of the trade unions is the most advanced and universal tactics - valid for all countries all over the world.
Although the Albanian working class was numerically small and inexperienced in the trade union struggle, she succeeded immediately after the victorious war of liberation against the fascist occupiers in one of the smallest and least developed countries in the world not only to lead the people's revolution to victory, but also to build an own independent red socialist union. This great historical event expresses the universality of the teachings of the 5th Classic of Marxism-Leninism.
The Hoxhaism in the union question is that Hoxhaism formed the ideological basis for the revolutionary breakthrough of the reformist-revisionist encirclement of the bourgeois world trade union movement.
Hoxhaism is the ideological basis of the revolutionary line of the union in the fight against the reformist trade unions and against the revisionist line on an international scale. The Hoxhaist Union is the school of anti-reformist-revisionist struggle for world communism. That is the international significance of Hoxhaism on the issue of trade unions.
