Thinking that the NATO bombing/invasion of Libya and subsequent brutal execution of Colonel Gaddafi was a good thing. I specifically remember being impressed reading some article about how "rebels" on the ground were using Twitter to tell NATO where to drop bombs.

Fortunately about two years later I started seeing articles about the civil war, slave camps, ect and had a real hold a minute moment realizing the situation had gotten much worse rather than any better. By that point I was already interested in socialism/communism as a concept but I would definitely credit that specific moment in history for leading me down the path of Marxism-Leninism
