Damages and values ??of February 6, 1967

A full 56 years have passed since February 6, 1967, and this has been judged as the date when the fierce war for the destruction of cults and the sterilization of religious consciousness began. We all strongly condemn the barbaric act, which had a bitter balance; 2169 cult objects were destroyed, of these 740 mosques, 608 churches and monasteries, 157 Catholic churches and 530 mosques, tyrbes and mekams, as well as hundreds of persecuted priests and monks. Many of these objects that were sold within five years, until 1971, were not only a great material damage, but also the destruction of irreplaceable architectural values, which are difficult to restore and return to their previous state. But we must also see the positive aspects of February 6, especially in the creation of a new mentality for the way of life in the village. No one is allowed to judge an action globally, without breaking it down into all its constituent elements. Every evil has a good - say the people. In the essence of what was called "Further revolutionization of the Party and the Power," according to Enver Hoxha's speech held on February 6, with representatives of several manufacturing companies, among others, the order dominated: "The whole party and the country must stand up , to burn with fire the backward habits and to cut off the head of anyone who violates the sacred law of the Party for the protection of the rights of women and girls", which was displayed on the facades of state and social institutions, throughout Albania . In this statement of the Monist Leader, there are two valuable orders: to burn with fire the backward customs and to fiercely protect the rights of women and girls. Both were the great necessity of the time. A total war was required against the ignorant mentality of the way of life and to achieve the spiritual and cultural emancipation of women, who were the most denigrated and humiliated section of the society. The people who lived through those times must never forget the low culture of life, the filth, the ignorance, the wild religious rites, the lack of nutrition, which were prevailing daily. Plates, glasses, spoons, forks and tables were missing in the family, they lived together with cattle in fenced and unpainted rooms. Diseases wreaked havoc, especially on small children, where parents, instead of sending them to the doctor, hung Hoxha's mascots around their necks, or added fortune telling to the neighborhood old lady. This ruling ignorance in the way of life shortened people's lives by half, and the children were kidnapped as soon as they were born. After February 6, as a result of health care and the improvement of the structure of food and the well-being of children, infant mortality decreased to almost zero % and the population grew significantly throughout Albania. Houses were built with new structures, with free loans from the state, they were furnished with the necessary equipment and furnishings, and the culture of behavior and service increased in all directions. Family members no longer ate in one dish, according to the religious order, that "only the dog eats alone", but in separate dishes. Even more successful was the struggle for the cultural and spiritual emancipation of women, which increased their dignity year after year. The woman's burden, and some of her heavy, unhygienic clothing, were prohibited by law. The woman who humiliated herself by being burdened like an animal, and who did not dare to call her husband by name, now she became brave and an active fighter for her rights. A healthy spirit was created for a free life without concepts for girls. Those, who before could not even look at men's assemblies from afar, now stood up and denounced their wild customs and oppressive engagements with "dowry bullets". The struggle to achieve equality between women and men was not a slogan, but a successful reality. The girls worked and had fun, were educated in all the links of our educational system and opened the doors of life as they wished. See the statistics, how many girls with 7-year, secondary and high school there were before 1967 and how much their number reached as a result of the war that took place after February 6. Girls created married life with what their heart wanted, creating stable families, consolidated with the best Albanian values ??and traditions. Indeed, the churches and mosques in the villages were demolished, but in their place schools and ambulances, maternity hospitals and health centers were built, which were really put at the service of human health and culture. How was the war that was fought against the wild cannon of the mountains, that snatched as many innocent lives as possible, and stuck tearful children in the towers, unjustly isolated from education, forgotten so quickly. Looking at all this with the eye of the realist, we ask: where is the evil of February 6 here? Who has more value, the life of the person who went "for dog fat", or the values ??of a cult object, which was unjustly demolished? Then it is known that in centuries the Albanian in general has not been a great believer. Since his time, Barleti has said that "Albanian is more of a warrior than religious." "We have all heard about the low morals and anti-national actions of some priests and priests of those times, who barbarically exploited ignorant people. The badges, which are still circulating even today for them, convey a historical reality with low morals, just as some politicians and rich people lead idle lives today, speculating in the name of "fun without purpose" that democracy has created for them. For 30 years, religious rites have been practiced freely in our country, then with a ruling spirit. Churches and mosques were built in the most chosen places, taking the place of ambulances and schools and challenging the simple houses of the village. But the balance is more bitter. The conscience of the majority of people has fallen to the ground, the behavior of young people is sowing degradation and disrespect everywhere, the country is threatened by incurable obsolescence, corruption is wreaking havoc in all walks of life, fights rage, murders are present every day, as soon as you open the door in the morning. It seems to me that the time has come for another February 6, to stop the degradation that threatens the country. I will quote the derogatory words that an intellectual once wrote about the damages of February 6, as he expressed them about the reality that democracy has brought today, which is "educating a whole generation without conscience, with inhumane ideals, with the lack of respect for the person, with the lack of respect for the freedom of the other, introduced a spirit that was neither the spirit, nor the Albanian national tradition, nor the tradition of European humanism". to stop the degradation that threatens the country.
