'''Gaddafism''', also known as '''Third International Theory''', is an [[File:Sec.png]] [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]], economically [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|left]], and [[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism|nationalist]] ideology influenced by [[File:Muslim_2.png]] Islam.
Gaddafism is a term used to describe the ideology and ideas of [[File:Gaddaficap.png]] Muammar Gaddafi, who, in a [[File:StratoHelm.png]] military coup of the Libyan monarchy, became the de facto ruler of [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya from 1969 to 2011.<ref name="BioBritt">[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Muammar-al-Qaddafi "Muammar al-Qaddafi"], Encyclopedia Britannica.</ref>
==History==
===Muammar Gaddafi's Early Life===
Gaddafi was born on the 7th of June, 1942, into a nomadic Bedouin family near the city of Sirte, Libya.<ref>[https://www.infoplease.com/people/who2-biography/muammar-gaddafi ''"Muammar Gaddafi Autobiography"'], Infoplease.com.</ref>
At the age of 9, he left his family camp in order to go to school. When he was in a secondary school in Sebha, Gaddafi was inspired by the Egyptian president at the time, Gamal Nasser. This lead to him becoming an [[File:Antiwest.png]] anti-West [[File:PanArab.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism#Pan-Arabism|Pan-Arab nationalist]]. He set up revolutionary study groups with some of the students at his school. He continued this practice up to when he joined the University of Libya in Benghazi<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0300490/?ref_=nmbio_bio_nm] by M. Patay, IMDb.</ref> in 1963 to study history, but he dropped out to join the military academy in the city.<ref>[https://www.thefamouspeople.com/profiles/muammar-gaddafi-3727.php ''"Muammar Gaddafi Biography"''], TheFamousPeople.com.</ref>
===Military Career and Coup===
While in military school, Gaddafi met people who shared his [[File:Antiwest.png]] anti-West [[File:PanArab.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism#Pan-Arabism|pan-nationalism]]. They then teamed up and immediately started planning a coup of the Libyan monarchy in place at the time. Gaddafi was later sent to [[File:Cball-UK.png]] Britain for further training, and his nationalism was intensified by his experiences there.<ref name="ColdwarAlpha">[https://alphahistory.com/coldwar/muammar-gaddafi/ ''"Muammar Gaddafi"''] by Llewellyn. J and Thompson. S., Alpha History. 2 November 2018.</ref>
When he came back, Gaddafi and his comrades continued planning the event, and in September of 1969, successfully overthrew the monarchy and founded the Libyan Arab Republic. The new country was ruled by the Revolutionary Command Council, which Gaddafi quickly rose the ranks, becoming the chairman of the council and colonel in the military.<ref name="ColdwarAlpha" />
===Rule From 1969-2011===
Once in power, in 1970, Gaddafi removed [[File:Cball-US.png]] American and [[File:Cball-UK.png]] British military bases from the country and kicked out the [[File:Zio.png]] Jewish and [[File:Cball-Italy.png]] Italian communities that same year. In 1993, he nationalized all petroleum assets in Libya that were owned by foreign entities. He then implemented laws that aligned with his [[File:Muslim_2.png]] Islamic principles, like banning alcohol.<ref name="BioBritt" />
One of these announcements was that of the newly proclaimed [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in 1977. These actions caused some opposition to arise and plots against Gaddafi were made, but the state quickly suppressed then and issued warnings to anyone who may get any ideas.<ref name="Cycle" />
===2011 Civil War and Death===
In 2011, anti-regime protesters, inspired by recent events in [[File:Cball-Egypt.png]] Egypt and [[File:Cball-Tunisia.png]] Tunisia, held rallies in Benghazi to protest the arrest of a human rights lawyer. The protesters called for Gaddafi to step down from his position, leading to clashes with the Libyan security forces and the protesters. To counter the protest, authorities set up a [[File:Gaddafi.png]] pro-regime protest and broadcast it on state TV.<ref name="RevoltBritt">[https://www.britannica.com/event/Libya-Revolt-of-2011 ''"Libya Revolt of 2011."''], Encyclopedia Britannica. 8 February 2022.</ref>
These actions caused tensions to rise between the two parties, ultimately leading to the protesters taking control of the city, which, in turn, lead to authorities using lethal force on the protesters and taking other [[File:Sec.png]] [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]] measures, like blocking access to the internet and interrupting telephone service.<ref name="RevoltBritt" />
This rise in violence lead to condemnation from the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] international community, and lots of resignations from Libyan positions, like the Libyan ambassador to the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] UN Many Libyan embassies flew pre-Gaddafi flags in protest and many units of the [[File:StratoHelm.png]] military started to side with the protesters, causing Gaddafi's power to weaken significantly.<ref name="RevoltBritt" />
After a while, the protesters got weapons and teamed up with the anti-Gaddafi units of the [[File:StratoHelm.png]] military, forming a full-out armed rebellion, and therefore, starting a civil war. From here, it went downhill for Gaddafi. There were [[File:Cball-UN.png]] international calls for his resignation and the armed resistance, although weak, but with the help of foreign powers, like [[File:Necon.png]] NATO, managed to advance. Finally, on October 12 in 2011, Gaddafi was found and killed in his hometown of Sirte, marking the fall of his [[File:Gaddafi.png]] regime.<ref name="RevoltBritt" />
== Foreign Relations ==
=== North America ===
==== [[File:Cball-US.png]] United States ====
Gaddafi and his regime were known for funding groups abroad that aligned with his beliefs, like the [[File:Blacknat.png]] [[Black Nationalism|Black Panther Party]] in the US and the [[File:Provo.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|Provisional IRA]] in Northern Ireland. These activities caused a growing disfavor of Gaddafi in the eyes of the [[File:Cball-US.png]] American government, and in 1986, carried out airstrikes on several sites in [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, barley missing Gaddafi, but killing many members of his family in the process.<ref name="BioBritt" />
This relationship with [[File:Cball-US.png]] America and the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] international community only got worse after it was revealed that Gaddafi's regime had funded [[File:Terrorist.png]] terrorists who blew up a civilian plane over Lockerbie, [[File:Cball-Scotland.png]] Scotland in 1988, killing all onboard and some on the ground. As a result, the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] UN and [[File:Cball-US.png]] America sanctioned [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, but later, in the 90's, Gaddafi would hand over the alleged [[File:Terrorist.png]] terrorists and the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] UN dropped the sanctions, but the [[File:Cball-US.png]] US would not do the same until 2003, when Gaddafi ended his weapons program.<ref name="BioBritt" />
During the [[File:Cball-US.png]] US invasion of Grenada, [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya sent military advisors to [[File:Cball-Grenada.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Grenada]].
=== Africa ===
Another one of the regime's foreign relations was in 2009, when Gaddafi was named the head of the [[File:Cball-AfricanUnion.png]] African Union. Almost immediately, Gaddafi's strong [[File:Pan-Africanism.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism#Pan-Africanism|pan-nationalism]] made some members of the union uneasy. He advocated for an extremely strong union of all the member states and the eventual formation of the "United States of Africa", which would function as any other sovereign government.<ref>[https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2009/2/2/african-union-names-gaddafi-as-head ''"African Union names Gaddafi as head"''], Al Jazeera. 2 February 2009.</ref> In 2010, when Gaddafi tried to become the head again after his one year term ended, several African nations pushed back and he was denied.<ref name="BioBritt" />
In the same year as his promotion to head of the [[File:Cball-AfricanUnion.png]] AU, Gaddafi, giving a speech at a [[File:Cball-UN.png]] UN General Assembly, famously tore a copy of the UN charter, causing controversy in the international community.<ref name="BioBritt" />
In 2008, [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Muammar Gaddafi claimed the title of "[[File:Unimon.png]] king of kings" after a gathering of more than 200 African [[File:Tribal.png]] tribal kings and chiefs endorsed his use of the title on 28 August that year, stating that "We have decided to recognise our [[File:Gaddafi.png]] brotherly leader as the '[[File:Unimon.png]] king of kings', [[File:Monarch.png]]sultans, [[File:Feud.png]] princes, [[File:Muslim_2.png]] sheikhs and [[File:Urb.png]] mayors of Africa". At the meeting, held in the city of [[File:Cball-Libya.png]] Benghazi, Gaddafi was given gifts including a throne, an 18th-century [[File:Muslim_2.png]] Qur'an, [[File:Trad.png]] traditional outfits and ostrich eggs. At the same meeting, Gaddafi urged his guests to put pressure on their own governments and speed the process of moving towards a [[File:Pan-Africanism.png]] unified African continent [[File:Blacknat.png]]. Gaddafi told those that attended the meeting that "We want an [[File:Mil.png]] African military [[File:Strato.png]] to defend [[File:Cball-AfricanUnion.png]] Africa, we want a single African currency, we want one [[File:Civnat.png]] African passport to travel within Africa". The meeting was later referred to as a "bizarre ceremony" in [[File:Mediastocracy_flair.png]] international media.
==== [[File:Cball-Mozambique.png]] Mozambique ====
[[File:Cball-Mozambique-old.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|FRELIMO]] has been one of [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya's closest allies, since the moment it launched independence struggle against [[File:Cball-Portugal.png]] Portugal.
==== [[File:Cball-Angola.png]] Angola ====
[[File:Cball-Angola.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|MPLA]] is known to have cooperated with [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya during the Portuguese Colonial War, but to a lesser extent than national liberation movements in countries such as [[File:Cball-Mozambique.png]] Mozambique and [[File:Cball-South Africa alt.png]] South Africa.
==== [[File:Cball-Namibia.png]] Namibia ====
[[File:SWAPO.png]] [[African Socialism|SWAPO]] was armed by [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, in the South African Border War. [[File:Cball-Angola.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|MPLA]] and [[File:ANC-icon.png]] [[Social Democracy|ANC]], with whom [[File:SWAPO.png]] [[African Socialism|SWAPO]] acted together, also received intense support from Muammar Gaddafi during this period. [[File:Cball-Namibia.png]] Namibia also issued a statement criticizing the [[File:Cball-US.png]] US intervention, at the beginning of Libyan Civil War.
==== [[File:Cball-Guinea-Bissau.png]] Guinea-Bissau ====
[[File:Cball-Guinea-Bissau.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|PAIGC]], which fought for independence during the Portuguese Colonial War, received support from [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya.
==== [[File:Cball-Uganda.png]] Uganda ====
Similarity between the African policies of Muammar Gaddafi and [[Nationalism|Idi Amin]], enabled two leaders to establish many economic and military cooperations. [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya supported [[File:Cball-Uganda.png]] Uganda by sending 400 soldiers to the 1972 invasion of Uganda and 4500 soldiers to the Uganda-Tanzania War.
Ugandan Bush War was also among the wars in which [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya participated, by supporting [[File:NRM-Uganda.png]] NRM and West Nile rebel groups.
==== [[File:Cball-Mali.png]] Mali ====
[[File:Cball-Azawad.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism|MNLA]], which fought to establish an independent Azawad, also received support from [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya for a short time.
==== [[File:Cball-Chad.png]] Chad ====
[[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, which supported [[File:FROLINAT.png]] [[Islamic Socialism|FROLINAT]] and many rebel groups during the Chadian Civil War, began to invade [[File:Cball-Chad.png]] Chad in the year of 1978. Muammar Gaddafi's main goals were to annex the Aouzou Strip, turn [[File:Cball-Chad.png]] Chad into a satellite state of [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, and obtain a base for his Central African policies. [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya has carried out many operations in the region, through the [[File:Islamic Socialism.png]] Islamic Legion.
[[File:Cball-Chad.png]] Chad resisted [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya for a long time, with the foreign support it received from [[File:Cball-US.png]] US, [[File:Cball-France.png]] France and [[File:Zio.png]] Israel. [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya had to withdraw, when many rebel groups opposing [[File:FROLINAT.png]] [[Islamic Socialism|FROLINAT]] cooperated with [[File:Cball-Chad.png]] Chad.
==== [[File:Cball-Eritrea.png]] Eritrea ====
In the Ethiopian Civil War, which started as a result of the violent power struggle and [[File:Cball-Eritrea.png]] Eritrea's efforts to declare independence, Muammar Gaddafi initially supported the rebel groups in [[File:Cball-Eritrea.png]] Eritrea. [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, which cooperated with the [[File:Natcon.png]] [[National Conservatism|ELF]] before the year of 1977, has supported the [[File:Leftnat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|EPLF]] since then, with the influence of the [[File:Natcon.png]] [[National Conservatism|ELF]]'s move away from [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Marxism-Leninism]] and the emergence of new alternatives.
==== [[File:Cball-Ethiopia.png]] Ethiopia ====
[[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya cooperated with the government led by [[Marxism–Leninism|Mengistu Haile Mariam]], towards the end of the Ethiopian Civil War. However, this alliance didn't last long and was dissolved in 1991 when opposition groups entered Addis Ababa and won the war.
==== [[File:Cball-Comoros.png]] Comoros ====
[[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya provided logistical support to [[File:Cball-Comoros.png]] Comoros during the 2008 invasion of Anjouan.
=== Middle East ===
==== [[File:Cball-Palestine.png]] Palestine ====
Muammar Gaddafi appreciated the [[File:Cball-Palestine.png]] Palestinian resistance against [[File:Zio.png]] Israel, which he saw as [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|socialist]] and [[File:Modnat.png]] [[Patriotism|patriotic]]. Both sides were influenced by anti-imperialism and allied with [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Soviet Union]] in the Cold War.
[[File:Cball-Palestine.png]] [[Arab Socialism|PLO]] received intense economic and military support from the [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya and the groups within it separately established connections with Muammar Gaddafi. They fought alongside [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya in many parts of [[File:Cball-AfricanUnion.png]] Africa and supported Muammar Gaddafi during the Libyan Civil War.
[[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya saw [[File:Arafat.png]] [[Arab Socialism|Fatah]] as one of the main actors of conflict between [[File:Cball-Palestine.png]] Palestine and [[File:Zio.png]] Israel. [[File:Arafat.png]] [[Arab Socialism|Fatah]] and its leader Yasser Arafat cooperated with Muammar Gaddafi until the year of 1978. As a result of the continuation of Lebanese Civil War, [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya's provide turned to [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Marxist-Leninist]] [[File:Cball-Palestine.png]] Palestinian groups.
[[File:Habash.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|PFLP]] has long been supported by [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, in their actions in [[File:Cball-Palestine.png]] Palestine and [[File:Cball-Lebanon.png]] Lebanon. However, in later periods, the cooperation ended as a result of ideological differences between them. [[File:MLM.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism–Maoism|DFLP]] also had some contacts with [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, although less than other groups.
External support needed by the [[File:Leftnat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|PPSF]], which was established after the split of [[File:Habash.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|PFLP]] due to ideological differences, was provided by [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya. As a result, the group increasingly came under [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya's direction.
[[File:Absoc.png]] [[Arab Socialism|As-Sa'iqa]], the Palestinian branch of [[File:Neo-Baath.png]] [[Ba'athism|Syrian-led Ba'ath Party]] and dissidents within [[File:Arafat.png]] [[Arab Socialism|Fatah]], such as [[File:Arafat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|Abu Nidal Organization]] cooperated with [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya. Muammar Gaddafi provided military support to [[File:Conservative.png]] [[Conservatism|conservative]] and [[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism|nationalist]] groups like [[File:Hamas.png]] [[Islamic Theocracy|Hamas]] and [[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism|PFLP-GC]], which were outside [[File:Cball-Palestine.png]] [[Arab Socialism|PLO]]. [[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism|BSO]] also carried out some of its attacks under the sponsorship of [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya.
==Foundations and Beliefs==
===[[File:Totdem.png]] [[Illiberal Democracy|Democracy]]===
Gaddafi considered liberal democracy to not represent true democracy as true democracy is the rule of the people rather than representatives who are really representing their own interests and not the people. He considered the only way to get around this was direct democracy with the use of popular conferences. On the question of law he rejected any secular law and wanted law to be based on Religion he considered this to be in line with democracy as religion is practiced by all the people in society. On the question of press he wanted press to be created by the state so it would be democratic rather than independent press which he considered to only represent certain groups in society and not the entire population.
===[[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism]]===
Gaddafi considered wage labour to be a form of slavery and wanted to abolish the wage system. On housing he criticized rent because for him it compromised freedom and instead wanted people to own their own homes. He wanted income to be a partnership between people and for people to manage their own income instead of gaining it from others through charity or wages. He wanted people to own their own lands rather than having it rented from another person which he considered to infringe on freedom.
===[[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism]]===
Gaddafi created a project of regional unity, known as pan-Arabism, aiming at creating a common Arab state. In this project, Gaddafi viewed Islam as an essential pillar, hence approaching ideas of pan-Islamism. Islam worked as a unifying factor of universal relevance. Gaddafi wished to promote an alternative to the communism and capitalist philosophies in the Third International Theory. This theory, developed in ''The Green Book'', was addressing not only the Arab world but the entire globe and promoted direct democracy through the General People's Committee establishing a direct dialogue between the population and the government.
==Personality and Behavior==
Gaddafism's strange solution to his philosophical conundrum is so poorly thought through he has a hard time convincing other balls of its reason to exist. As he has a notoriously short temper, this can lead to a lot of conflict between him and the other balls from across the spectrum, though it's usually just a one sided shouting match. Most of the balls have learnt he's not really worth their time.
