Albania: Feeding Above Its Weight Class

This research was originally conducted by a journal called “Red Spectre” whose editorship today believes the name and work of Comrade Enver Hoxha, the Party of Labour of Albania and the Albanian people during the Anti-Fascist National Liberation War and People’s Socialist Republic of Albania are no longer worthy of respect. Today they can be found here. They have removed this article in particular from the internet, but the archives of the November 8th Publishing House retained a copy, which “The Voice of Albania” is now republishing.

This short article is meant to elucidate the food situation in Socialist Albania. Today is a sad day to be a Liberal, as the proponents of “Socialism is when no food” prove “Anticommunism is when denying reality”.

Socialism fed the people

Firstly, the statistics for Albania:

(P138)

For the average person, these numbers alone are meaningless. Lets make sense of them. In these statistics, inequality is not taken into account. Neither is the quality of the food, with fast food being rich in calories but unhealthy, giving a “statistical edge” to developed Capitalist countries, especially over Socialist ones. Despite this, Albania beats Japan, and compares to Spain.

Taken from Our World in Data

This is despite the fact Albania is tiny, and 75% of its land are mountains.

Despite these countries being more developed, bigger, and more suited for agriculture then Albania they tiny state had similar and often better ranking.

Socialism fed the people well

Let us again reference the Albanian food situation:

Take a look at the tab on total proteins. A citizen of Socialist Albania enjoyed more daily proteins then their U.K. counterpart! In 1970, an Albanian could expect more proteins then a Dane…in 1984.
