Ask him about Mukesh Ambani's 27-storey house for a family of four while close by in slums five to seven people live in cramped jhuggis. Even Ratan Tata has
criticism for Ambani's house :
As the saying goes, if you're born poor it's not your fault, but if you're staying poor then it is your fault. I can do whatever I want with my money, I might as well as throw them in a lake because I earned it. Similarly, Ambani earned it.
A verbatim that sounds rosy.
So you didn't read the articles I have linked to.
At least read
this thread by @TaiShang from 2015 about a brief description of Libya's Direct Democracy system.
BTW, India, Britain etc are not real democracies. They are majority-rule countries. The minority whose candidate didn't get voted, they lose out on having a say in governance.
Almost all democracies in the world follow majoritarian democracy. I wouldn't take Libya as an example any day, because it's a mess. For whatever reason, Libya failed and it's the Libyans who failed their system. I don't have the time and patience to read how beautiful "
was" a failed system.
You keep repeating the same error. Truth is, even if there were some real Libyans among the spark-plugs of that "insurrection" they were Al Qaeda terrorists like Abdulhakim Belhaj who were trained and supported by NATO for the express purpose of giving a chance for NATO to intervene. The Libya was long in planning.
In 2011 February or March ( I don't remember now ) when USA, UK and France were showing supposed proofs that the Libyan military was killing "civilians, including women and children" ( their wording ), Russia produced satellite imagery to prove that no such killing occurred.
A similar sequence of events happened in Syria.
Ok, so far I haven't explained in depth about your Utopia and Gaddafi. Here goes nothing, during the Utopian times almost 13% of it's public were jobless, Libya had one source of income, Oil and nothing else to show for. Even the area that Socialist Libya extracted oil from that is Cyrenaica had very poor infrastructure for it's citizens. His crazy plan was to cut down the ministry, "direct democracy", no but he remains the dictator, his family members can still loot the national treasure. To put nail on the coffin, Gaddafi decided to distribute oil wealth directly to the public.
Few gems, from the direct democracy Libya, creating a political party is punishable by death.
The movement started in 2011 when people got fed up of corruption, relating to housing scheme. The government had to step in and provide relief to the public but wasn't enough, then there happened to be similar people's movement in Tunisia and Egypt this spilled over to Libya as they wanted to oust their dictator too. The state cracked down on such dissents and it grew from there. Arab springs were people's movement, although violent in nature, but hey who knows about peaceful demonstration better than us.
There's your Utopia Libya. Went shit. What you're talking is picking all the good and rosy sides of Libya, do take time to check the dark sides of it too.
Why not now ? Why wait for "as time passes" ? And what is the connection with economy ?
Because there is no magic wand. A change take time. People are not Windows 10 where an update could fix the errors.
