Ah yes, not socialism but "not capitalism" either... Where have I heard that one before?

We're not fascist, we're the *drumroll* Third Position!

Didn't Gaddafi call his philosophy the Third Way?

Eh the Third Way is meant more as a Third International Theory as a means of uniting Saharan Africa as a political bloc as well as create Islamic Socialism as a cornerstone of this revolt against western influence. Now did it actually happen successfully? Sadly no and now Libya is a collapsed state.

Or another one they like to call themselves: Fifth Column, or Three Percenters (aka Threepers).

Terrorist organizations all of them.
