Self-description: This organization claims to have arisen from the Albania-U.S.A. Friendship Society in 1991. See, http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atrium/1091/ALLIANCEML.HTML which was created in April, 1999. Friendly with the Northstar Compass.
Comments:
We could not find any polemics against Mao. Their comrades in Turkey denounced Mao's Three World Theory.
In shades of splintering reminiscent of Trotskyism, their article on the Black Nation thesis says there was a plot to make Stalin responsible for it when he was not! No where in the whole article does it discuss the labor aristocracy; even though, it does attempt a discussion of the "stabilization" debate about the imperialist countries such as the United $tates. No where does it explain why Stalin never came out against the Black Nation thesis once it came out in 1928 until he died in 1953.
We found the first edition of the book by W.B. Bland called "The Restoration of Capitalism in the Soviet Union" very useful. We have distributed many copies in the last 10 years without knowing anything about its author. The new edition is available at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atrium/1091/ussrindex.html

Comments: The splits in the now defunct Marxist-Leninist Party (MLP) were not public. People and organizations at a rally one day would deny they split or ever existed the next. MIM is not certain of the connection amongst this organization, the Chicago MLP and the Chicago bookstore.
However, one may want to look at the bookstore website: http://www.mcs.com/~mlbooks/
There is not much there. The Hoxhaite movement has suffered severe disintegration in the
U$A and most other countries. A part also went to the "back-to-Marxism-Leninism" movement.

Self-Description:: Sells Hoxha books. Hails 9th Congress of Labor
Party of Albania [circa 1990]. Publications from 1997 commemorated the death of Hardial Bains, an international Hoxhaite leader last based in Canada and the Communist Party of Canada(M-L).
Comments:
Organization remained firm against electoral politics, but it softened its stance against
Cuban and Korean revisionism once the Soviet Union and Albania gave up the pretense
of Marxism-Leninism. The organization's website has little theoretical content, especially by way of lines of demarcation.
As of May 14, 1999, its web page had not been updated since March, 1998. See http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/9578/index.html
