As recounted in Libya: The History of Gaddafi's Parallel State by John Oakes, Jamahiriya was a term he coined in his Green Book, likely inspired by Mao's Little Red Book, published during the Libyan Cultural Revolution period.

Why people recommend it

Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung, widely known as the Little Red Book, is a collection of statements from Mao Zedong that served as ideological guidance during China's Cultural Revolution. The artifact and its history surfaced in several podcast discussions regarding political collectables and historical events. Shane Cashman mentioned on Timcast IRL that a rare English-language copy was once given as a surprising and exciting gift, while Liz Collin discussed on The Megyn Kelly Show how political figures had reportedly collected the books as souvenirs while visiting China. Additionally, Lily Tang Williams referenced the texts on Timcast IRL while recounting the historical impact of communist indoctrination, and Tim Pool used a metaphorical cartoon scenario involving the book to critique political recruitment tactics.
