    Gaddafi wasn’t a socialist or communist at all. I’m not a tankie either.

    And man, I know it’s hard to believe, but all that I said is true. Libya has a shit ton of oil and minerals. Instead of having a corporation profit off of it, the state owned all of it and there was a very strong wealth distribution system.

    But Gaddafi was crazy. And he clamped hard on religious extremists. Which yes we’re trained by the US to coup him. Y’know, as Hilary said “we came we saw he died?”…

    Or you really think the Libyan “revolution” was completely natural and grassroots? Lmao

      The revolution happened, then Gaddafi more down civilians with helicopters, then the UN authorized a joint task force to enforce a no-fly zone, then NATO did that in an operation actually led by France and not the US, then he was killed, then Clinton said that.

      That is the correct order of events.
