@@ILoveFishMilk I use Purchasing Power Parity GDP numbers, which assess the actual value in an economy rather than the nominal GDP figures biased by the USD and fluctuating exchange rates. You being fair points, but it's also important to recognize the consistent backlash politicians face whenever they even float the idea of lifting subsidies. Also worth noting is that in the last year or two, social welfare programs have expanded more so than in the entire 2010s. It's always a lot more difficult for legislators to strip away social benefits than to establish them, we did establish them. Even the World Bank of all places wrote this recently, “Libya's social protection sector is based on solid legal and institutional foundations and requires policy reforms to enhance its efficiency and effectiveness. … Absent the conflict, the economy could have witnessed, on the contrary, a high positive growth of 68 percent over the ten years growth, a possibility that remains attainable and highlights the country's enormous potential.” I’m not trying to paint a rosy picture, but comparatively speaking, things are generally good (certainly not as dismal as all Westerners seem to think) and should get a lot better if permanent stability is achieved.

He said he used to get two friends and they would drive to Libya to buy cars, since they were so cheap. And then they would drive them back to Sudan and break the cars down and use the parts for their auto repair business. He says Gaddafi was one of the only North African leaders who actually cared about his people, and despite liking his life in the United States now he will never fully trust the West for toppling Gaddafi.

I appreciate your video Hakim! I am Turkish, and my family is originally sea merchant immigrants from Crete. After going bankrupt in Crete, they moved to Tripoli in the 19th century and worked at the docks. Eventually more family members came and they got into the Yemeni coffee business. During the Italian occupation, before the official invasion, my family found chests full of weapons while working in the docks and got rid of as many as they could in an effort to fight against the Italian imperialist advances. Eventually they were caught and executed by the Italians, and the rest of the family found themselves on a ship to Naples. They found their way to Istanbul in the early 20th century. I recently found out from my grandfather that some family stayed in Libya, and he showed me letters sent between his mother and his mother’s uncle (they talked about everything from politics to daily life and I was surprised how liberal they were for their time) . While watching this video I was reminded of my great grandmother, who loved to tell stories of her family, so I wanted to share this story with you all. She was an incredible woman, well read and spoke many languages including Turkish, Greek, and knew how to write in several alphabets. She lived to see her 110th birthday and stayed active until she took her last breath ( her secret was a shot of olive oil every morning before breakfast).

Gaddafi's commitment to supporting what he termed 'Liberation Movements' worldwide, including IRA, ETA, Palestine, Nicaragua, and South Africa, among so many others, is noteworthy. He didn't shy away from openly backing these causes, standing by them financially and logistically, with conviction and without remorse.

I can talk for hours and days about it but in short, Ghaddafi's most grave mistake is him not stepping down in 2008 and handing it all to his son Saif Al Islam.

I have come to the point in my political development as a Canadian who has always lived in the imperial core, that I am completely done entertaining any sort of compromise or cooperation with the western political establishment. I no longer possess any feelings towards them but undiluted contempt and scorn. These western governments of the world, that have aided and coordinated with campaigns of mass death, destruction, and psychotic violence against every peoples in the world that tried to achieve freedom from western colonialism or imperialism, and the right to a sovereign country that is free to develop and conduct their policies and futures how they see fit, have caused an unmatched amount of death and suffering and have robbed the people of the world of both a just and peaceful international order and the potential bright futures which could have been developed if the west didn't constantly seek to enforce its military and economic power and imperial hegemony. I don't believe in good and evil, but there is nothing more deserving of the "evil" designation as the US led western coalition of governments seeking to dominate the entire globe as a singular hegemon. Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Justin Trudeau, the con's Pierre guy, are all putrid and vile in their support, knowing or unknowing, of the imperial project of US led western empire. I no longer support a single policy or initiative coming from anyone within this myopic, dark political establishment and support anything that weakens it's strangle hold on the globe and hastens it's destruction. If we lived in a just world, the many nations they have been destroyed would put them on trial and condemn them to a torturous death, along with all their supporters and collaborators.

There isn't enough time in one video to describe a lot of the good things Libya was doing before the US and NATO destroyed them. They had advanced agriculture projects in the desert. Gaddafi was in the process of formulating a new oil currency based entirely on gold reserves that would serve as the trade currency for all of Africa. The US had to import ISIS and Al Quaida because there weren't sufficient adversarial groups to destroy the country.

I believe that Libya recently expelled many western ambassadors under their new government. It will take a while but it is likely that Libya will recover in a decade or so. I remember most people I knew including some Libyans being happy the day Gaddafi was killed, but an Iraqi lady was talking to my mom and said “I don’t know why they are cheering, no matter how bad he was it only gets worse from here” and she was sadly right (and obviously speaking from experience). While Gaddafi was a controversial figure both in Libya and the wider Arab world I don’t think anyone can argue that his removal brought about anything good and shows how easily we were tricked during the Arab spring to support the “removal of dictators” without ever asking “what comes afterwards?”

Even though you might never see this, I think you are doing a great job and it's even more impressive that you make these videos while still working (unlike most political KZbinrs). I appreciate the well read and educational manner of your videos. You provide sources and recommended reading material, rather than just act like your word is gospel. This video is a great example. Even though I only have vague memories of Colonel Gaddafi (as he was more commonly known) in my country of England (or the UK....whatever floats your boat) he was portrayed as an evil dictator who was just a wicked person and defending him would be like defending Hitler. It's interesting to see the other side of what our country's propaganda will tell us. They dehumanised him to the point he just seemed like a total psychopath, I never even knew about all the achievements he and others had made in Libya. While I was aware of the "they have oil, so...." rhetoric. It didn't give much nuance and insight into his life or achievements. It's actually kind of scary to see how easily the powers that be can influence entire countries or continents into believing one person is public enemy number one and they don't even have to provide any facts or evidence.

Hakim you could have mentioned that Gaddafi repressed communists and baathists in 1970s. Meanwhile, liberals do not mention Gaddafi's positive socio-economic and developmentalist measures. I see Gaddafi's regime as an oil-dependent but state capitalist economy (turning into a state led mixed economy by the 2000s) and military bureaucracies instead of socialism with a growing private sector in 1990s and 2000s. And one which was repressive but not as much as liberals say. Multiple scholars characterized it as a weak dictatorship. (including Patrick Haimzadeh and Mabrouk Derbesh) You also don't mention the fairly low wages in the state sector (though they had other benefits like cars at half prices and easy loans) which probably was in part due to sanctions impeding economic development. But people earned well by doing other jobs and often didn't show up in their govt jobs. Family and tribal connections mattered a lot even in Gaddafi's Libya for getting opportunities and amenities. And the Gaddafi family did control a lot of things in the economy and politics. Gaddafi did freeze rents and double minimum wages in the 1970s and basic ration was available for quite cheap in Libya but prices for some of these did rise in Libya when the state liberalized prices/decreased subsidy first in late 80s and then in the 1990s. Basically a social contract existed- people had to accept the regime and shut up (although they occasionally could disagree with Gaddafi's policies and often disagreed with local level policies and leaders) and the regime gave them social benefits and stuff (but even then infrastructural development albeit decent was quite uneven). Gaddafi family, leaders of big tribes and military and executive committee officials mostly lead the new big private companies which emerged in the 2000s. Literacy rate did increase rapidly in Libya as did women's rights and free healthcare services were expanded and the artificial river was an important project he undertook. A lot of housing was built in the 1970s by the state (3rd highest in the world after Denmark and Sweden). But yes there was less development (less govt job opportunities too) and more repression (multiple cases) in the Cyrenaica region (a hub of monarchists and royalists and favourite region of King Idriss) as compared to Fezzan and Tripolitania causing discontent there. (played a role in the 2011 protests which was started by reasonably privileged students and discontent was inspired by feelings which were unreasonable like "we should be as developed as Dubai but we aren't due to Gaddafi")
