The Green Book rejects both capitalism and communism, as well as representative democracy. Instead, it proposes a type of direct democracy overseen by the General People's >Committee which allows direct political participation for all adult citizens.[7][9]
The book states that "Freedom of expression is the natural right of every person, even if they choose to behave irrationally, to express his or her insanity."[10] The Green Book states that >freedom of speech is based upon public ownership of book publishers, newspapers, television, and radio stations, on the grounds that private ownership would be undemocratic.[7]
A paragraph in the book about abolishing money is similar to a paragraph in Frederick Engels' Principles of Communism.[11] Gaddafi wrote: "The final step is when the new socialist >society reaches the stage where profit and money disappear. It is through transforming society into a fully productive society, and through reaching in production a level where the >material needs of the members of society are satisfied. On that final stage, profit will automatically disappear and there will be no need for money."[12]
