Manifesto English LY Tier 2
Muammar Gaddafi — The Green Book, Part Two: "The Solution of the Economic Problem: Socialism" (1977): his anti-wage-labour economic theory — "Wage-earners are but slaves to the masters who hire them" — and the "Third Universal Theory" call to transform "societies of wage-earners into those of partners."

Salwa Bugaighis (Libyan human-rights lawyer; 2011 revolution leader; ex-NTC member) — interview quotes (Tripoli, late 2011, per openDemocracy): on women being sidelined after the revolution despite being "very effective," and her insight that "getting freedom doesn't mean reaching democracy." Assassinated in Benghazi, 25 Jun 2014, hours after voting.
Iman and I were very effective in the beginning but the men didn't believe that women could play a role at this time. They didn't think we had the strength, background or ability. Getting freedom doesn't mean reaching democracy.
