Janz is professor of religious studies at Loyola University, New Orleans, · Louisiana. From the time of its inception as a discipline, the scientific study of religion has raised the question of the universality of religion. Are human beings somehow naturally religious? Has there ever been a truly religionless society? Is modernity itself inimical to religion, leading slowly but nevertheless inexorably to its extinction? Or does a fundamental human religiosity survive and mutate into ever new forms, as it adapts itself to the exigencies of the age? There are as of yet no clear answers to these questions. And religiologists continue to search for the irreligious society, or at least for the society in which religion is utterly devoid of any social significance, where the religious sector is a tiny minority made up largely of elderly people and assorted marginal figures. -

UPHOLD MARXISM-LENINISM — Speech delivered at the Meeting of 81 Communist and Workers' Parties in Moscow on November 16, 1960 INTRODUCTION In his speech delivered at the Conference of the 81 communist and workers' parties in Moscow on November 1960, Comrade Enver Hoxha made an all-round analysis of the main problems that were concerning the international communist mo• vement and firmly upheld Marxism-Leninism. This speech is one of the most important phases of the principled fight which the Party of Labor of Alba• nia has waged to expose modern revisionism and consolidate the unity of the international commu• nist and workers' movement. The battle the Party of Labor of Albania has waged against the revisionist views of the Khrush- chevite Soviet leadership began immediately after the XX Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Although this battle was not waged directly and openly at the beginning, the Party of Labor of Albania had made known all its reserva• tions and objections to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The Par• ty of Labor of Albania tried in every way to avoid publicising its differences with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union lest that would put wea- 5 pons into the hands of the enemies of communism. -

Se reflejan en él acontecimientos vividos e impre siones personales, acompañados de conclusiones aleccio nadoras para cualquier época, sobre la actividad hostil, abierta o camuflada, de la burguesía anglo-americana contra nuestro Movimiento de Liberación Nacional, nuestra revolución popular y contra Albania socialista. En ese enfrentamiento aparecen claramente: por un lado, los planes diabólicos, los esfuerzos, las maniobras y las acciones concretas del imperialismo anglo-ameri- cano destinados a poner a Albania bajo su égida y, por otro, la vigilancia y la lucha resuelta del Partido Comu nista de Albania, de su Secretario General, camarada Enver Hoxha, dirigente del Ejército y del Frente de Liberación Nacional de todo el pueblo albanés patriota, para descubrir, desenmascarar, frustrar y desbaratar la táctica y la estrategia imperialista contra Albania.
