He was too good for this world

A wonderful, stunning book. Arabic message to the peoples, it is explosive prose about God and man. You should try to read it immediately. Before sunset or sunrise. Changes are coming. Nietzsche dreamed of living among Muslims to sharpen his view of everything European. Nietzsche did not die, he went to the East. He is back. His book is Green.

I actually read this, he outlines his problems with democracy, communism, and theocracy, and says the natural system is one lead by a soveriegn who is legitimate by the people, yet maintains the natural faith and divests authority and economic gains to the people. He also is under the impression that you should fundamentally be profiting as a state. He embraces socialism for its anti colonialism, but states that communism is not beneficial to implement for the Arabs.

There's also a lot of eccentric statements that lead no where for statecraft. But there's an almost neoreaction feel to the book.

As opposed to Kim Jong Il, whose book outlines why Korea must be Nazbol with Juche.

He says democracy erodes everything and divides the nation, leaves it leaderless. But that dictatorships are cruel. (He did actually attempt to give people sovereignty, but confused it quite a lot, because he organized people into tribes, a sort of political autonomous unit who could vote on local issues and submit functionaries to Ghaddafi but it was up to Ghaddafi to listen.)

For "some" reason there is no data on Libyan GDP from 1960 to today from the world bank. But this should be taken into account I guess.

He tries to create an alternative to western representative democracy but ends up creating an autistic version of representative democracy.

>>11605405
Unironically the best system I've heard of, and something the western world should emulate.

>>11604337
Libya was approaching first world status before Qaddafi got iced for resource extraction purposes.

>>11605691
ah yes, what the west needs are mouth breathing retard dictators à la erdogan, kim and putin

>>11605719
>he takes his image of world leaders from liberal cartoons and shows like SNL
Sir are you aware that you are a retard?

>>11605679
Literally the only person in this thread who's read the book.

>>11605679
by autistic you meant better right?

>>11605732
No I mean convoluted and different for the sake of being different. Gaddafi himself didn't implement anything of what he wrote in the book.

>>11605723
>evil, power hungry dictators are actually good
you're on some galaxy brain shit, my man

>>11604337
Where I can find this book online?

>>11605405
He instituted popular councils but subjected them to revolutionary councils.

>>11604337
Unironically redpiled

Thanks, anon!

>>11605774
neither kim nor erdogan nor putin are evil, or dictators for that matter. "power hungry" is debatable, as all authoritative powers and institutions crave power, otherwise they wouldn't be authoritative.

>highest GDP per capita in Africa
>despite bucking America, Israel, getting embargo'd and not being a Soviet satellite.
>killed as part of regional restructuring and intervention of greatest military power on earth and their coalition partners
>decade long civil war replaces him as the fake country he inherited breaks apart across natural fault lines

Libya should have been Fezzan, Tripoltania and Cyrencia but Gaddafi did literally the best job running Libya in its entire history.

Geopolitics were against him for decades, and he still built a habitable country with a higher living standard than Greece or Albania.

i was watching the video of some paul oakenfold dj mix on a boat party in russia and i was like these are the people the democrats want me to hate? why exactly?

>>11605774
Question, how are they power hungry and yet not expansionist when they are autocratic leaders? What exactly cements existing power structures to the hunger for power? Is Atlantic democracy good? If so, then why is it not power hungry?

>all those dictatorcucks

Lybia was one of most corrupt and unfree countries of the world. Muh economic growth was due to good oil prices in early 2000's with petroleum industry being 80% of economy, even more than in Saudi Arabia. You westfags are insufferable with your love for obscure authoritarians.

>muh freedumbs

>>11607060
"most corrupt and unfree"

Currently warlords control their block and the next, sell children as slaves and nobody can go to school, all refugee's now travel through libya since its a lawless state.

But when it had free education, wellfare, and high GDP it was the most 'unfree country'?

>>11607060
Sorry you are right, we should have invaded Libya and gave it either back to democratic Italy, democratic Israel, or even better let the people select a government on their own by popular vote. What? They voted for a theocracy? Well not to worry, we'll just either force a liberal shah or even better, a karzai, a man like him will surely fix Libya.

there is clearly no difference from Ghadaffi and Bokassa

>>11605774
>evil
fucking grow up

>>11607334
>democratic Israel

A stolen ethnostate practicing apartheid, and not a democracy

same goes for USA

>>11604371
Yes, he also wrote sci-fi

>Slightly more interesting (and almost a story) is Suicide of the Astronaut, in which a man visits the moon, finds nothing, and upon his return to earth discovers that his qualifications as a space explorer leave him, like an arts grad, unable to secure useful work. He commits suicide. Thus, Gaddafi seems to be stating that space exploration is, well, a load of bollocks.

>>11607060
some of the greatest and valiantest nations of all history have been "unfree" you fucking bugman. freedom isnt a simple unnuanced thing and your own wishfully optimistic interpretation of it isnt the sole definer of morality.

Stay mad
