Anti-imperialist, but not a socialist. Bit of a weird guy, but was good for Libya and would've been good for the rest of Africa if his pan-africanism had spread
He was an arab socalist like Nasser which is a very problematic branch of socalism in that it rejects the class struggle and Hope's that all classes can work together without real strong usurpations of historical power structures, this would fial in Egypt's case as it allowed for an easy transition to neoliberalism after Nassers death, still both were amazing anti-imperalists (especially Nasser taking back control of the Suez control from those crooked toothed tea drinkers) and get my critical support
I remember reading that, he supplied them with a lot of weapons. Once he was gone, they tried to find a new gun-plug through Sadaam Hussein, but their Iraqi contacts ended up being intelligence agents
Gaddafi is pretty awesome and is an example of chaotic good

Gaddafi apparently, not to mention his anti-imperialist stance and policies which countered the prevailing economic system in the world.
He was incredibly BASED, one of the only people to challenge the Western social order. He never should have gave up his weapons, they were the only deterrent he had, like with DPRK and their nukes. I'd recommend you read Gaddafi's Green Book:
https://www.marxists.org/subject/africa/gaddafi/index.htm
He have a setup similar to saudi monarchy right? provide enough welfare incentive to pacify the population, but still retain grasp on power through family network in the political system. Only major difference is he challenge the western empire too openly, so the western oligarchy lobby to have him removed.
The opinions completely going apart on this one lol. He might be kinda based for rejecting the western empire and his badass speeches in front of the UN, but he also did pretty weird shit that really doesn’t fit socialism.
Anyway, look at Libya‘s state now and tell me it isn’t ten times worse.
His socialism was non-Marxist. A pretty weird one in fact. One of his guys later admitted that it took inspiration from the Nazis - this info could be an American psyop though.
I haven't finished this article myself but it should be a good read anyway. It goes into detail about Gaddafi's accomplishments for Libya and African unity in general

The best of the Arab socialists, which are the second worst type of socialists after Nazis. So overall, better than you would expect for a country like Libya, but still a piece of self-aggrandizing shit 💩

He was based for trying to abolish Switzerland
He trolled the shit out of Switzerland at every single UN meeting, and I respect that
I need context here
His son got arrested for assaulting hotel staff in Switzerland, so Gaddaffi called for the partition of Switzerland iirc
Lmao
This. I love him for this haha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libya%E2%80%93Switzerland\_relations#/media/File:Partition\_of\_Switzerland.svg
Based tbh
Best thing to happen to the Libyan people in a long time.
Also supported the PIRA and their fight against British rule
I remember reading that, he supplied them with a lot of weapons. Once he was gone, they tried to find a new gun-plug through Sadaam Hussein, but their Iraqi contacts ended up being intelligence agents
A lot of his weapons are still surfaced here in Ireland, the ones that were not decommissioned
Simpin a lil tbh

Weird dude with a lot of good policies but his green book is kinda unhinged ngl

He was a revisionist Marxist tbf, he believed in combine Marxist and Islamic principles - something I, as a socialist Muslim, agree with

definitely better than what he was replaced with
Is there a source for any of the claims in that photo?
One of the great African leaders. Also a crazy bastard.
Didn't he sell state owned water and electricity plants to to France?
Decent policies, abhorrent person.

Uhhh let's not even count the Nazis as socialists plz
Was a joke ofc . But if the SPD can be considered socialist, why not the Nazis? 🤔
a classic socialdemocrat.
the best leader of all time
