H/T to Passport for this video of protesters in Tobruk tearing down symbols of Qaddafi's Green Book, the intellectual basis for his eccentric rule.
The Green Book is actually a three-part volume. Part I solves the problem of democracy by substituting rule by popular committees. Part II solves the problem of economics by imposing collective ownership with a Quranic twist. Part III presents Qaddafi's Social Basis of the Third Universal Theory, which is his "third way" between capitalism and communism, a far-from-novel idea that goes back to Mussolini if not further.
Read it here while you still can.
Just a thought - didn't Mussolini end up hanging upside down in a public square?
