Culture.I’m Albanian ethnically; I live and work in London and have done reasonably well for myself at 27. I visited Albania many times to see family. I have spent the majority of my adult life contemplating this question. A lot of people will give you specific reasons for it like ‘corruption’ or ‘emigration’ or ‘crime’ or whatever. These are all true but they are only symptoms of the reason. The reason is actually culture. We have a degeneration in culture which makes it incapable of producing a first-world economy. BUT, that is changing quickly and will be fixed to some extent once the communist generation dies off. Allow me to explain.THE COMMUNIST ERAAlbania is a former Communist country. Communism there only ended in 1991. Prior to that, it was under the most extreme communist regime in Europe for 40 years. So an entire generation was raised under it.The communists were led by Albanians who had seen the world - Enver Hoxha lived in Paris, and Mehmet Shehu fought for the Republicans in Spain… they were well travelled, sophisticated men who knew how to dismantle a culture 4,000 years in the making. They systematically killed and destroyed the upper land owning class, the professional class, the clergy and the intellectual class so there would be no competition to their vision of hell. They exterminated them entirely, but that is not the tragedy because though a man may lose his life, his soul lives in the words and wisdom he leaves behind. Hoxha and Shehu knew this, so they banned most Albanian literature that wasn't praise for the party. I’m not kidding - every literary book/poem etc had to at least implicitly praise the Party and obedience to the Party and leader to stand a chance at being published. Most of the population was not literate, so they did not object because they did not know what was being taken away from posterity.Albanian poetry (and even culture) pre-communist times was really advanced - I sometimes read some of the works of Fishta and I also read Shakespeare in English. Trust me when I say this, Fishta’s epic poems are equal if not better. And the communists banned his works. There’s many more examples of the communists’ destruction of Albanian culture but the gist of it is they destroyed it and reformed it as just another branch of propaganda for the party and distorting reality so that it constantly praised the Party.They also collectivised the economy and all property so that any semblance of competence and entrepreneurship that existed before (which was a lot by the way - Albanians were known to be highly renowned traders in the Balkans having benefited from centuries of trade with the Italian city states, the Byzanines and later the Ottomans) was systematically destroyed both physically (with executions) but also culturally - to have been a go-getter/ wealthy/ capable person or family was a mark of ‘bourgeoisie’. The communists co-opted some elements of the culture like family ‘honour’ and perverted it so that the communist families were made into the local honourable families whereas the children of previous entrepreneurs (traders/merchants etc) were considered ‘kulaks’. Kulaks were basically forbidden from doing anything worthwhile - they couldn't go on to higher education or become anything but the lowest shittiest job the government had - usually a farm worker doing the dirty work. They were also socially ostracised so that to marry a kulak was unthinkable. That was the fate of the entrepreneurial families and their values. They were replaced in the high esteem of the general population by communist functionaries - to aspire pre-communism was to seek to become a tradesman, craftsman, writer etc… to aspire during communism was to seek to become a communist functionary, a bureaucrat. Even today, to work for the state is one of the most sought after career paths in Albania.In addition, when the Party took people’s lands and property, anybody who had the balls to speak out against it was also killed, imprisoned and/or made into a kulak. Not just that - my dad recalls as a very young child when the Party (having already taken their land) decreed that their livestock would also be collectivized and the farmers had to take their cows signing and dancing to the collective farm… if you did not show joy during the procession of handing over the last of your wealth, you were deemed a ‘reactionary’ and could be imprisoned or interned to concentration camps deep into the mountains. He tells me his mum wept when they lost their livestock because she knew that milk, cheese and meat were now a rarity (issued by ration, heavily watered down, only). Think about that.Anyway, the result was the systematic destruction of those who carried our entrepreneurial spirit, our cultural spirit, our ferocity of heart that kept the Albanians so fiercely independent for centuries. In the end, what was left was a two tier society, the workers (mostly people (as in more than 90%) who lived and worked on collective farms , depots and factories with little prospect of ever being anything more than a farm labourer, until death) and the Party.There was no point in working hard, or planning to save money or starting a business because it was (1) culturally degenerate so people even stopped thinking about it (2) not do-able. The best you could hope for was to be a member of the Party and get a cushy job managing some sort of state-run enterprise, usually a collective farm or bakery or some nonsense. This went on for 4 decades and got worse every year. Entire generations were raised in this... The party even issued food rations so that you couldn't buy what you wanted or eat what you wanted - you had a food ration and that was it. For decades. Entire generations grew up in this reality. Free thought was non-existent.The Party was always right, no matter how bad things got. The Dictatorship of The People they called it. Also, there was nearly constant wartime propaganda about ‘the enemy of the people’ which was always looking to invade etc. So more than 20% of the country’s economic output went to war production - building bunkers, buying expensive Soviet and then Chinese weapons. Everybody — I mean everybody — had to train for military service, such that even my mum as a teenager was trained as a light machine gun section leader. Constant paranoia. Foreign radio and TV were also illegal. Complete and total isolation for decades. It resembled North Korea. The Party also taught kids to spy on their own parents and turn people in. They provided extra rations to people who would spy on their neighbours, so that every village had dozens of informants who turned people in for ideological offenses, such as complaining about the bread or rations the Party provided, etc. As a result, there was a complete breakdown in social trust: Nobody could be trusted. Even your neighbour could condemn you - it created the most vicious form of suspicion about your neighbours and family so that people were incapable of organising outside of the Party. No matter how bad things got, people couldn't organise. The odd person would occasionally go insane and say or do something like shout about having sawdust in the bread ration, and they would be informed on and disappear. Their family would be interned in labour camps located in the mountains. Eventually, those in the Party made sure their own family members were in the Party also so that a weird new caste developed of inner Party members who ran everything for their own benefit. This continued for four decades. We endured a viscous state who not only took out lives, our property but the most scared thing any Albanian possess - our honour and culture.DEMOCRACYIn the 1990’s the Communist government came crashing down with the jubilations of the people - but the Communist culture that had developed under it did not. Instead, the culture persisted. Even in the 1990’s, to be a ‘kulak’ was a mark of shame in much of the country. To be a trader was still seen as suspicious, almost dirty, and something done by the dodgy dishonourable types. ‘Good families’ didn't go into that. There was also the question of dividing the land again after decades of collective ownership - few people recalled where the land boundaries were, and what’s worse, the government of students decided to pass a law splitting the land equally amongst the people with no regard for which family had owned it pre-communism… and who gets what land would be decided by some ‘commissions’. Naturally, these commissions opted to give the best land to whoever could pay decent bakshish or their own friends and family… A lot of people were not happy and they seethed until 1997 (the year of the calamity)… There was also extreme poverty - I mean like people going hungry and malnourishment in the 1990’s, in a European country - when the government rations stopped coming, a lot of people didn’t know where to eat and they had no jobs as many government run entities simply closed…So, to recap, Albania came out of communism with extreme poverty, hunger, no education (except basic arithmetic and party propaganda), no levels of social trust or social capital, and with the apparatus of a former police state with a Cult of Personality of the former leader. The population was also young - more than 70% of people were below 40 years of age, because the Communists hadn’t allowed birth control. My paternal grandma had had 12 children, my maternal grandma had had 9 and that was the norm. To top it off, the ones who drove the fight against the Communists were the students… and when communism fell, they largely went into government. Students, many in their 20’s were running the country during the decade after Communism fell… imagine that. I mean, really think about it. And they were socialist students to boot!The country was a mess, badly overpopulated, with little culture or entrepreneurial spirit and being run by students educated in socialist universities who literally got into fistfights in parliament and even shot each other now and again, in parliament. Meanwhile, just across the border, the collapse of Yugoslavia was raging with full blown war and genocide. All the ‘socialist workers’, being exposed to capitalism for the first time, started taking part in pyramid schemes, so whatever savings they might have had, or whatever they could borrow from friends and family, were pumped into pyramid schemes... which promptly collapsed in 1997. First a run on the banks. Then riots against the government (who people blamed for everything because they still thought the government ran everything!). Then looting of government institutions, including the army depots. And the soldiers? Well they packed up and went home as they were all conscripts anyway. At the same time, Kosovan refugees started pouring over the border, initially in trickles and to pick up weapons from the now open Albanian army depots and then 500,000 women and children fleeing the genocide of the Yugoslav Army’s spring offensive in 1999 [i think]. The Albanian currency went into hyper-inflation because the university students who ran the government had no idea what they were doing - they figured they could just print money to pay salaries - it was their only choice as there was virtually no tax base. The cities had no industry that could compete with foreign imports, so people left the cities and went to villages or took shoddy boats across the water to Italy or Greece - about a quarter of the country’s population left, including my parents and me, when I was still a child. The government collapsed totally. Teenagers looted machine guns and even tanks, rocket launchers, etc. I vaguely recall some teenage boys joyriding a soviet tank and some men from the town shouting at them because it was damaging the asphalt - told them to take it back to the army base and joy ride it there. Highway robbery and armed robbery by teenagers with machine guns were the normal state of affairs - all serious trade between cities and even within cities ceased. I remember my dad and my uncles organising, getting AK47s, traveling with the men from the village to a market town in a convoy, just to buy flour for a few months which was being sold at famine prices. The flour was by that stage being provided by international aid relief. This is 1997-1999 in Albania - 20 years ago. I remember it. Whatever faith people had in democracy was lost here. Foreign media refer to this time as a ‘civil war’ but it was just chaos.THE RECOVERYAs you can imagine, in such an environment, the most amoral among us thrived - often they went into business, usually doing illegal things alongside legal stuff (not that anybody cared about the difference by then), and making decent hard currency money in the process. Mainly selling oil to the Serbs and guns to the Kosovans and looting whatever they could from the remnants of the state - my cousin bought ancient statues from the Albanian national museum and sold them in Greece... he only accepted Deutche Marks as payment though. Criminal syndicates (basically vicious mountain clans) eventually formed and working alongside local governments joined various political parties and helped bring the government back into some kind of control, just enough to allow business to be conducted and national resources to be looted in an orderly manner - after all, once you’ve looted and sold the stockpiled chrome etc, you needed to organise labour to mine more and to do that you needed some semblance of order. If you wanted to go into business you had to bribe the local politicians, police captains etc. Salaries were (and still aren't) enough to live on in Albania, so everybody (nurses, doctors, police etc) supplemented them with bribes - it was and is so endemic that it’s just part of the culture. It’s called ‘bakshish’ - there is no shame in taking ‘bakshish’ and it’s expected that you pay it. Even to see a sick relative in hospital, you have to pay the hospital security guard ‘bakshish’. This goes from the top of the political ladder like the ministers getting ‘bakshish’ for giving planning permissions or granting monopolies over things like import of medicine etc, to your everyday government worker. It’s just how things are done. To do anything in Albania, you pay ‘bakshish’. So, a good portion of the economic output of the country now goes into paying ‘bakshish’. My dad once paid huge bakshish to judges and to the police to get out of prison because he was caught importing bananas without a license… A neighbour paid bakshish to the police to let him off for machine gunning two guys on a public highway in broad daylight in front of many people... To be fair, though, they had raped his niece and by then, the police were mainly there for the salaries and the bakshish and a new perverted form of customary law had developed which regulated violence and retaliation, loosely based on the various ‘Kanuns’ that existed pre-communist times. My cousin had to pay a big bakshish to a director of nursing to give her a job as nurse. You can pay it to get a good degree as well, get the top marks in class. It’s in EVERYTHING.Because half of the working population left the country (with thousands drowning in the sea crossings), a lot of money started flooding back to Albania from abroad, like hard currencies, dollars, sterling, Euro, etc. The country experienced a few economic booms in construction and asset values driven by billions in remittances from abroad, especially from Albanian criminals who took Europe by storm in the 1990’s and early 2000’s. You have to understand that for people who grew up in the hell of communism in Albania, being jailed in Switzerland was like going on a mini-holiday in a catered hotel-resort. It was no deterrent. And shooting people was easy as they had been trained in the army (like everybody) and they witnessed violence by Party security all the time. Every once in a while, when the Party felt insecure, people (including my dad and his classmates) were forced to watch political dissidents being hanged - the bodies were sometimes strapped to a truck and driven from village to village with posters saying ‘enemy of the people’. My dad says it was often some poor guy accused of ‘sabotage’ when old Soviet machinery had broken down or some guy who tried to make a run for the border and was shot (one of my uncles did his national service on the border and some guy tried to run across to escape and he had to shoot towards the guy but deliberately missed - if he didn’t shoot, he could have been court martialed. Thankfully the runaway guy made it). People were expected to spit, insult or throw things at the corpse of the ‘enemy of the people’ that was paraded, if you didn't, well then you were probably a sympathiser, and you’ll be watched closely. I wonder if the communists realised the irony of executing many of the people in the name of the people. The police tactics in European countries focused on catching somebody and making them snitch against their fellow criminals (for Albanian criminals their fellow criminals were members of their own clan!) … without using torture or terror. Hah. The Albanian clan system survived the Communist Party of Albania which would make Kim Jong Un blush so these early attempts by civilised Western police to break Albanian clan crime syndicates were laughable. Most guys who got caught did their time, whilst their wife and kids were maintained by their clan. No problem. Even now billions in hard currency continue to flow into Albania - we have a massive official balance of payments problem because we hardly export anything, but unofficially we are probably an export economy - we export criminal services and commodities like weed, heroin etc. So the official balance of payments problem is never a problem because so much hard currency comes in from crime syndicates. Major transactions are done in Euro’s now (the new Deutche Mark that my cousin used to insist on).The people now in government are basically the extended family of the ex-Communist leaders or the students who took over in the 1990’s, with some fresh blood coming from the organised criminals who did well in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. I’m not kidding here. The current president [as of 2017] was on camera taking Euro500k in as bakshish. YouTube it. The Prime Minister is the Nephew of some communist big wig.Car bombings of business rivals or rival politicians are relatively common. Weed is now grown everywhere, under the protection of the local police commanders and politicians. To start a business, you need to pay bakshish to various people for licenses, to get a job in government - bakshish. To get good grades at school or university without any effort - bakshish. To get a government contract to repair a road - bakshish.Skimming off the top and doing a shoddy job are also still culturally acceptable - a fall-back from the communist times when people pretended to work and the Party pretended to pay them. My family in Albania also asks me about my salary in London and when I tell them, the older folks then always ask, ‘and how much do you make in bakshish’ - it’s just normal and expected that people do that. When I say I don't, they see it as some kind of mental retardation. Almost like ‘Poor guy, he can’t get any bakshish from his job, he must be slow or something. And I thought he was smart’. I would never take bakshish, it’s sickening, I was educated at a great UK university by gentleman scholars with ethics and I intend to try and live forthrightly.If you want a takeaway from this sad tale, it’s this - Albania is completely and utterly f****d up on a fundamental psychological level. It was deconstructed at an atomic level by Albanian Communism, the most efficient and brutal deconstructionist ideology on steroids. It can’t be rich, because the energy of the people (that which creates wealth) is not directed towards producing wealth, but rather in grabbing as much as they can for oneself at the expense of everything and everybody else. For instance, there is a lake near my town in Albania. Its fish stocks have plummeted to extinction levels and most of the fishermen are now unemployed. The reason? Fishing with electric generators, which destroys the fish’s eggs so they can’t reproduce, plus pollution (judging by the levels of trash, the lake must be used as a waste dump by some towns and villages). The fishermen don't seem to care enough to do anything - their attitude seems to be, ‘Oh well, the fishermen using generators are certainly bastards, but they paid the police bakshish, so that’s just how it is’. The impotence produced by culturally accepted degeneracy. People sell their votes there too - it’s not a mark of shame. Most people have done it. The ones who don't usually have a family member in the sitting government administration and they know that they would lose their job if they lost the election. That’s another problem - each election cycle removes guys who have got rich from corruption (and as a byproduct, got some experience in running things well enough to fleece the system) and brings in a new set of guys who are from the new winning party… and they are inexperienced and ravenous for the bakshish money. Their economics or finance ministers release the budget for those years and they get to work pilfering it whilst also learning their jobs. Every 5 years. Rinse and repeat. There is usually a small bidding war for votes - last year, they got paid £12 per vote! Tidy sum [measured as at exchange rates in March 2018]. And every month more and more people leave. From my family, only 3 young men are left. I sat down and counted once. From about 100 people in my family [my grandad has 13 kids], about 70 are abroad - scattered to all corners of the Earth. America. Britain. Italy. France. Our motherland will not have the benefit of our life’s labours - it will only have our bodies when our bones are sent back to wait for judgment day next to our ancestors. Last I checked the population had gone down from 3.6m in the 1990’s to 2.8m now. And it’s declining every day. One of my older uncles tells me on skype that the trees and nettles have started to overrun the fields now - he says he might live to see the village overrun by nature.I will grow old, my bones will turn to dust, and yet my motherland will still be relatively poor. But money isn’t everything - we were never a nation that craved wealth… the tragedy is we will not be what we could have been for a long, long time, and as I write this answer in a language that is not my own, breathing the air of a land that is not my ancestors, it breaks my heart.Shekul mas shekullit vujti Shqiptari,tuj i tregua bishes barbare,se kurr nuk humb liria en male!

China and India: The Roots of HostilityIn my view China and the Chinese do not think much about India, start from Chairman’s Mao’s time.In China’s strategic planning India has no or zero roles, in 21 st century.School kids are hardly taught anything about India.For your further studies and waking up. Trolls, Please keep your keyboards in control.China and India: The Roots of HostilityI have worked with the Chinese for over four decades in Canada at various capacities. And I have visited China several times I am Indo Canadian and I am here in this country in a few years it will be 50 years.I was born in a small town of Indian Punjab, after a few years, when I was a baby, my parents moved to brand new ultra-modern newly built city called Chandigarh. I grew up in Chandigarh and I had all my education there.I made several trips to India, and I still have some links in there.I will not show fancy graphs/GDP/and all those things I will concentrate on the basic root causes.These are some of my observations:The systems in India are extremely slow:China has surpassed even the first world in some areas. I believe no one can compete in Chinese work ethics, discipline, and productivity.(In India, productivity is low to a dead stop)Here is an example.I wanted to get some repairs done in my ancestral home. I hired some worker/contractor. They were very nice people, however here is the problem.None of them lived close by or had any public transportation, most of them came by bicycles as far as 15, 20 Km or longer distances. In the blustery cold day of December, foggy conditions it was about 9 AM. They were shivering with cold, they made some bonfire and warmed their hands. Requested me to make some tea for them by the time they started the day it was 10 AM. At 12 was lunchtime, and by the time they came back and started again, it was 1 PM, by 4 PM they were in low gear and 4:30 PM they started to wind down to leave at 5 PM.Now here is the catch:a. By the time they reached the worksite and went back to their villages from the big city. They have already used a fair bit of energy for the day, maybe about five hours of productive work.b. Poor nutrition of the labor force.c. Cheap liquor sickness and deaths.d. Poor medical facilities.e. Due to finances a lot of domestic problems.f. Very funny thing, I will remember it forever. One carpenter told me: Please call a maid to sweep the floor. Hum uchi jaat ke hai, jharu nahi lagayge.( I belong to the higher caste, would not sweep the floor). I grabbed the broom and did it.f. This is a partial list. ( I could write many more)On the other hand.a. The Chinese workforce has one of the best public transport systems.b. The major portion of the day which is wasted is used in a productive way either at home/or for the employer.c. Since the worker is not huffing and puffing and commute at the mercy of weather he/she is very productive at work.d. Excellent nutrition.e. Warm clothing/safety shoes/ uniforms/ and a much better work environment.In Canada to the best of my knowledge every kid by the time he/she is a teenager is reasonably trained to do manual work.G.Kids in a building store, they are now more familiar with building store than toys.My two helpers on the job, no need to look for work.These are my two grandsons, I vowed by the time they finish high school, they should be well versed to rip the house apart and put it together. In addition to their outstanding formal education, that is where the world is moving, including China on the top.My best estimate is: Indian productivity is maybe 30 percent as compared to the Chinese if that.Caste system:This manual work is Shudra work out of a population of 1.2 billion, say 900 million are upper caste, the rest of the world does not and did not work like that. The sad part is even the farming is not done in Punjab by so-called higher castes that are the conclusion I saw on the media.A while back there was a video/song, where an old farmer in Punjab cannot harvest by himself and looking migrant workers to help. The song in the background tells the very sad state of the things in the country.In another video/song: The young man is complaining about the tough life in farming.It appears everyone wants to come to Canada.This song made me everything, including three bachelor degrees and two masters.This movie I watched when I was a young boy in Chandigarh, I vowed I never will be unemployed. And my parents will enjoy the luxury of my labor, they have worked hard enough.This movie is a story of young unemployed man in India.YouTube.I never looked back, my next generation and I hope the following generation follows it too. We are trying our best to instill safety/work ethics/ and so on.China leaves India behind, heads towards the first worldFor your next reading pleasure I am going to quote this article:This article sums up, very nicely where China is headed.China leaves India behind, heads towards the first worldThirty years ago, China was as dysfunctional as India is to the present day. While Mao Zedong unified his country and transferred some of his confidence in it to the rest of the populace, he was as weak in economics as Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has been. It was only after Deng Xiaoping took charge of economic policy in 1979 that China began its climb to the top. Today, to compare India to China would be even more fatuous than comparing India with Pakistan. Our northern neighbour is so far ahead that it is not even visible in the distance. Our administrators pride themselves on being the "steel frame". A better word for their effect on the country would be straitjacket.Tianjin is an example of how far China has leapt ahead of India. Although more than 150 kilometres away from Beijing, the city is reached by train in a half-hour. Its two universities, Tianjin and Nankai, are working at excellence, as are other universities in China. In the 1980s, almost all were worse than their top 20 Indian counterparts. These days, even middle-rank universities have left Indian ones far behind, another great achievement of the UGC and its babudom. It has an international airport and a huge port, where several ships, including cruise liners, regularly call. Comparing Tianjin with the squalor of Gurgaon, where taxes disappear into the pockets of officials and politicians, is an exercise in raising blood pressure to dangerous levels. If China can do it, why not India? Why not indeed? Look at our officials, look at their political masters, and the answer will become clear.China leaves India behind, heads towards first worldMADHAV NALAPATMr. Nalapat is very politeIn my view you have totally dysfunctional governance system, totally corrupt to the core, nothing gets done.India inherited a system of British Raj, when we were slaves, and our rear was kicked we were okay.

It may be a baby step today but could become a giant step for humankind.I know some Indians are firebrand can prove any Chhala is too small for their English, at my time there were lots like that I do not know now.When we left home with only eight dollars, we had too big fingers no ring can fit in us.More to come.I know, I know my answers are long because the questions are too short. (Your chhala is bada chota meri ungli bari), your ring is too short for my finger that is my story.At my time we could have taken the Chinese and any other B.S. in the world put together but that was our time.Now it is different times, our new generation is different they have different priorities.When we left to find a foreign exchange for our beloved India/Pakistan, to find some relief from helplessness/poverty/aging and tired parents due to partition/ younger siblings/and in some cases sweethearts whose parents were not ready to tie knots to a guy who had no future on the face values.This is what had left: Nice clean environment, no alcohol, drugs.
