I've been looking into the man. He promotes a kind of Islamic socialism, but represents his people very well. A fan of direct democracy. I've yet to read the Green Book, but the more I read about him the better a leader he looks like, especally among African post-colonial leaders. Can anyone give me a nice and dandy marxist viewpoint?
I feel if you ignore the Islamic tendencies and need for the world to become Muslim, Jamahiriyan Socialism seems very sound. I mean, it has small-scale capitalism, but of all the socialist countries on Earth I'd say Libya is way up there with the goodies.

Aw come on.
He calls it Islamic SOCIALISM, no?
So you'd think we could discuss his modus operandi and how he's made a fairly nice country out of what used to be another typical African wasteland. Besides, apart from the Islam and everything, there's gotta be something notable in his system that a potential Marxist-Leninist state could use. Isn't his system basically NEP?

True, Gaddafi was anti-soviet and remains against it. but mostly based on it's anti-religious tendency. Gaddafi's Libya is notable because has had success in bringing things normally only first world countries and, err, Cuba have managed to do. Jamahiriyan Socialism, if stripped of it's religious bias, is vastly preferable to Social Democracy and yadda yadda yadda.
