The Party of Labor of Albania (PLA)[a] was the ruling communist party of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania. The party was founded in 1941[b] during a national liberation war, and would assume the rule of the vanguard party of the Albanian people. It was initially a Marxist–Leninist party with Enver Hoxha as its first secretary[1] until the early 1950s, after which it, alongside Hoxha himself, assumed a revisionist character tailing behind Khrushchevism and later Maoism, while propagating their own own theoretical deviations.[2] In 1991, the party was disbanded.
