Chip Berlet

[Russell Grinker]

There was a small group in the UK during the '80s which used to sell its paper with the slogan: "Why there is no inflation in socialist Albania!".  Some used to joke that the reason was that Albania had no economy.  I think the organisation was either the Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist) or the CPB-ML.  Could be some relationship.

    According to Laird Wilcox in ,"Nazis, Communists and Others On The Fringe,"  (Is that all of us?) Chip Berlet back in the 70's was in a American Friends of Albania  local chapter in Chicago.(I paraphrase- kinda like American-Soviet Friendship Society) Would that be in the orbit of the CP-ML?(I think, my sectariana is faltering). They published Workers Advocate and a split publishes Communist Voice, which has a state-capitalist line on the fSU. During Carter I remember seeing a caricature in posters put out by these pro-Hoxha M-L'ists, of Jimmy with his toothy smile fashioned into missiles-this after Carter reintroduced draft after Soviet intervention in Afghanistan
