Nope. Ruler and preserver of a capitalist status quo.

I think Lybia is more socialist than the former USSR. Besides, it's the only country in the world to have a state close to the "soviet democracy" (if the name is correct). Plus, he's not even a ruler, but a "guide".

Socialist is an absolut. It's not like you can be more or less socialist than.

So long as there's a state and a capitalist framework in Lybia, which there is, it is not socialist and so long as Gadaffi is the head of that State, then he's a ruler.

Oops. I thought this was the Gulag, so I said "Maybe." If I had known that this was the Monument to Heroes, I would've said "I don't know."

From one apathetic answer to another.

I voted "of course" because their wasnt a "sure...why not" answer.

I say this because, he has done good things for the Libyan people,
and has done a pretty good job of keeping US influence out.
Just wait tell they find minor traces of oil in Libya...this man will be a big help (well nucence is more like it Razz

) during that. Also, a unified Socialist Africa will be a good thing.

An historical character of some interest, but by no means a hero in my opinion.
