Gaddafi

Was he a pseud or the real thing?

He was part pragmatic, part showman, personally I think he was interesting as fuck.

He was the single shittiest military commander that the modern era had ever seen

His foreign policy was pretty retarded up until the 2000's but he undeniably made Libya a better place to live. It's sad that most of the progress made under Gaddafi is being destroyed by Libya now. Fuck NATO

The fact that there are far leftists and far rightists who speak well of this guy makes me quite skeptic of him having been a good guy.

Have you read his book? It's an extremely autistic attempt at a direct democracy, he even named the system he invented 'jamahiriya' and thought it would be a third position alternative to capitalism and communism.

He saw himself as some sort of prophet for Africa, predicting that the black race will rule the world. He had a large part in helping to shape the African Union, as well as helping Mandela to help the Apartheid.
He slept in a bullet-proof tent as a homage to his bedouin roots and had an all-female Amazonian guard. His flashy outfits and the shit I listed above make him seem like some sort of comic book character.

While he began as some sort of cloudcuckoolandish, self-styled revolutionary (who in fact got his power in a putsch), he gradually became a ruthless, extremely egotistic and vain dictator. Nevertheless, he did some good for his country - such as the Great Man-Made River, improving overall living conditions, infrasctructure, etc. The medical system still sucked and people would regularly leave the country to get treatment in Egypt.
His political decisions in Africa speak of him being a no-holds lunatic and completely incompetent, but what really undermined his international standing was his involvement in terrorism in the West - such as Lockerbie or the support for IRA. Even when the West resumed diplomatic relationships with him, they were basically waiting for a chance to get back at him - I find it hard to believe he didn't realize that.

Overall, he was a complete idealist with little regards on how the world around him worked. There must have been very little self-awareness in his actions, and he kind of reminds me of Hitler, if you remove the nationalist romantic facade and replace it with a kind of Saul Goodman-showiness.

Here is his visit to Czechoslovakia in 1982, the Czech attempts at pronouncing the names of the Libyan delegation are priceless.

I'd rather be ruled by blacks than jews to be honest family

That best thing that happened to Libya...no, Africa in general, since Ramses II.

Dude was a lunatic that only held power through terror it seems as his country fell apart at the seems before he died. Lost a war he started with the country Chad for a 10 mile strip of desert and funded groups like Al queda.

>He saw himself as some sort of prophet for Africa, predicting that the black race will rule the world
Has that nigga ever looked in a mirror?

WE WUZ AFRICANS

I thought only redditos were this bluepilled

>radical centrists
more like radical retard.

>Black People Will Prevail In The World
>The latest age of slavery has been the enslavement of Blacks by White people. The memory of this age will persist in the thinking of Black people until they have vindicated themselves.
>This tragic and historic event, the resulting bitter feeling, and the yearning or the vindication of a whole race, constitute a psychological motivation of Black people to vengeance and triumph that cannot be disregarded.
>In addition, the inevitable cycle of social history, which includes the Yellow people’s domination of the world when it marched from Asia, and the White people’s carrying out a wide-ranging colonialist movement covering all the continents of the world, is now giving way to the re-emergence of Black people.
>Black people are now in a very backward social situation, but such backwardness works to bring about their numerical superiority because their low standard of living has shielded them from methods of birth control and family planning. Also, their old social traditions place no limit on marriages, leading to their accelerated growth. The population of other races has decreased because of birth control, restrictions on marriage, and constant occupation in work, unlike the Blacks, who tend to be less obsessive about work in a climate which is continuously hot.

/ourguy/

Go ahead and explain how Gaddafi was based

>etablished strongest economy in entire African continent
>provided high-tier infrastructure to the Lybian people such that life expectancy was on par with the first world
>Tried to establish economic independence for Africa with a Gold-backed currency (this is why he was killed)
>ran a tiny country with no international influence but still didn't take any shit from even the members of the Security Council

seems pretty BASED to me

BTFO

He was a good looking guy when young

This is all 100% true though

Good job guys get the guy killed so that Libya becomes a horrible shithole and an open door for half of Africa to swarm Europe.

Good fucking job

U just mad cause democracy prevailed

"""democracy"""

why wouldn't I be mad that worst system prevailed?

>responding to bait
>probably even ironic bait

hang yourself weeb

I don't think there were slave markets in Libya during his rule. Also he kept the autistic tribal clans under check. Now Libya is an anarchist shithole and a gateway for immigrants headed to Europe.

>Britain, France, and the US work together to kill an African leader who sought to create an independent African nation

And the cycle continues

He was a hero, fuck the us, Hillary and NATO

>USA, France and Britain bomb the convoy

Really makes one think...

He thought arabs would have proeminence over blacks and muslims would have proeminence over christians and pagans. He supported muslims and arabs agains blacks and christians in the Sudanese civil war and had a vendetta against the black christian president of Chad.

Basically, you need to read his book and find out basically what he's about; it's basically National Socialism cloaked in democracy, basically.

1. Actually the fifth economy in Africa.
2. He pushed other African countries around and sponsored islamic insurgents everywhere. He wanted to manage a currency and an African IMF because he wanted economic control over other African countries.

>Lost a war he started with the country Chad

Is chad the most chad nation ever?

Is his Jihad against based Switzerland still on?

>Actually the fifth economy in Africa
Still pretty good for a nation of (now) 3 million people.
His support for rebel groups was certainly not great, but don't blame the man for something everyone does.
I don't know if he wanted cntrol over Africa, but at least he was trying to take it away from the western world.

F

He was definitely crazy, but he did have good intentions. You’re free to draw your own conclusions. I think the people who killed him were just jealous of his kickass outfits though.

He was a lawful evil real sand negro

Dude he was gonna challenge the petro-dollar, what were the burgers supposed to do?

Can't wait until N.Korea falls and fags like you will come out of the woodworks and let the world know they had it better under a dictatorship run by a mad man.

based Arab nationalist and /our guy/ extraordinaire

Libya supported Iran during the Iran-Iraq War

It's pretty hilarious how /pol/ shills a muslim pan-african anti-apartheid communist allied with the USSR.
