Muammar al-Qaddafi

“In order to rule, the opposition party has to defeat the existing instrument of government. To do so, the opposition must minimize the government’s achievements and cast doubt on its plans, even though those plans may be beneficial to the society. Consequently, the interests and programs of the society become the victims of the parties’ struggle for power. Such struggle is, therefore, politically, socially, and economically destructive to the society, despite the fact that it creates political activity.”
― Muammar al-Qaddafi, The Green Book
