    I mean, the Nazis had universal healthcare too…

    The fucked up thing, is that is an incredibly low bar, and most dictators understand that they need at least some citizens healthy and educated to able to work to pay taxes.

    So yeah…

    A lot of horrible authoritarians who commit daily human rights abuses, still give some of their citizens healthcare and a good education.

      I feel that more people should know that Gaddafi was a mass child rapist who had a personal corpse freezer.

      Also, while NATO and Qatar backed the anti-Gaddafi forces, they didn’t create those forces.

      Some of those forces were Gaddafi’s own military, who refused to follow Gaddafi’s order to crack down on protesters.
