Posters and pictures of Gaddafi are found everywhere. The above is in the museum of Leptis Magna showing the Prime Minister of Italy, Berlusconi returning an antique statue to Gaddafi tht the Italians had ripped off illegaly some time ago. The overtly philandering Berlusconi is a buddy of Gaddafi and the two meet regularly.

 

After his coup in 1969, Gaddafi has stayed in power for over 40 years. He is officially referred to as the “Leader” (of the revolution) and his “Green Book” delineates his solution to how people must be governed. The Green Book has three parts that provide complete and final solutions to the following problems:

 

·        The Solution to the Problem of Democracy

·        The Solution to the Economic Problem

·        The Social Basis of  the Third Universal Theory

 

He maintains that democracy western style can’t work. Therefore, one superman at the top who knows what’s good for everyone is the right solution (actually, that’s not that different from Plato’s notion of a philosopher king). He still calls that democracy. Since his son is groomed to succeed him, we have an example of a hereditary democracy…

 

“Nothing is perfect,” sighed the fox.
