The most affluent nation in North Africa if not ALL Africa, funding development projects for any AU nation that asked (cutting western businesses entirely out of African Development for the most part...) The workers literally ran the factories and local governments? People's Assemblies. Couldn't have THAT! al-Qaeda and NATO 'fixed' it.

Bloody great posters of Qaddafi all over the place, cult of personality, 
and the death penalty for using US dollars rather than the worthless 
government money.
> A paragraph in the book about abolishing money is similar to a paragraph in Frederick Engels' Principles of Communism.[10] Gaddafi wrote: "The final step is when the new socialist society reaches the stage where profit and money disappear. It is through transforming society into a fully productive society, and through reaching in production a level where the material needs of the members of society are satisfied. On that final stage, profit will automatically disappear and there will be no need for money."[11]" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Book_(Muammar_Gaddafi)
