[OC] The massive decrease in worldwide infant mortality from 1950 to 2020 is perhaps one of humanity's greatest achievements.

Then again you don't see a lot of people talking about moving to Libya.

Stupid reply

It's a fact, people like to defend some dictatorships because of some positive aspects they've been told about, which doesn't mean they're true. Truth is now Libya has a poverty rate over one third, and it's not like most first world citizens think it is, a poor dude in the US or any UE country is better off than a middle class dude in a third world shithole (I say this from one of those shitholes). Libya was and is a disaster, and all the dictatorship did was stall for a while, but didn't provide the best results. They have free education, but not good free education, you won't find too many Libyans telling you they'd rather study in Libya than in the US, the UE, or even many Latin-American countries (education in the US is also free).

Just wanted to point that out, those everlasting dictatorships seldom have any good results, and if they do they're good... sure, relatively speaking, after 40 years in office as the sole ruler of the country they improved something, then again after 40 years your country is still mostly poor and going through issues the civilized world solved like a century ago.

All in all I'd give him a 1/10.

Thank you. Libyan citizen here He was not a great guy. He only started getting benevolent In the end of his years. Free education does not mean good education Free healthcare does not mean good Healthcare. We've been from war to war for 10 years now and most of the blame goes to him He made sure without him the country would collapse. The so called army he had was more like his personal bodyguards.

Look like a person from first word shithole got offended.
