Quickly, he has been labeled extreme right wing,
but is that really the fairest designation given what
we know thus far?
According to several outlets, Breivik identified with
some conservative causes. But the more one digs,
the more one finds that Anders Behring Breivik holds
the views of a racist, bigoted, zealot that really
cant be fit into a neat box.
----------------------------
Thats certainly a mixed bag. And some of that
information would seem to hint at a possible extreme
leftist position, perhaps anarchism, would it not? It
certainly doesnt reflect the views of a conservative
Christian, as he claimed to be.
Its also important to note that the terms of American
politics are not easily transferable to European politics.
-------------------------
Considering what we know about Breivik, then, could
it be that the term extreme right wing is a misnomer?
Especially considering that when you start dealing with
extremist groups and individuals who fall well beyond
the fringe, their beliefs often blur they handpick a
tenant from the right and bastardize it, grab an ideology
from the left and skew it, and then create their own
belief system.
Breiviks beliefs and the actions he implemented
may show he and his ideology are as fuzzy as they
come.
