Gaddafism
Gaddafism, also known as Third International Theory, is an economically File:Soc.png left and culturally right ideology, influenced by Islam.
Gaddafism is a term used to describe the ideology and ideas of Muammar Gaddafi, who in a military coup of the Libyan Monarchy, became the de facto ruler of Libya from 1969 to 2011.[1]
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.[2]
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 anti-West 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[3] in 1963 to study history, but he dropped out to join the military academy in the city.[4]
Military Career and Coup
While in military school, Gaddafi met people who shared his anti-West 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 Britain for further training, and his nationalism was intensified by his experiences there.[5]
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 a revolutionary council, which Gaddafi quickly rose the ranks, becoming the chairman of the council and commander of chief in the military.[6]

Foundations and Beliefs
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 is usually just a one sided shouting match. Most of the balls have learnt he's really not worth their time.
