European “conservatives” also tend to resemble what we’d label democrats. The so-called “far-right” in Europe, are often bands of thuggish “nationalists” who are extremely anti-capitalist. Somehow the idea that “patriotic aka nationalistic” has stuck as a catch all for right wing. Probably because the Marxists were “internationalists.” It’s unfortunate, because I wouldn’t throw groups who are protecting their countries own national interests in with the nut jobs, but so we have it.... if you aren’t multi-culti you’re a fascist.

According to Swedish website Expo Anders Behring Breivik is a member of ‘Nordisk’ which has 22,000 members and focuses on political terrorism.
was a member of a Swedish nazi forum which encourages attacks on government buildings.
The Norwegian daily Verdens Gang QOUTED A FRIEND as saying Breivik became a right-wing extremist
Often, the extremes in Europe are communists on the left and fascists on the right.
So, an “extreme right wing” individual in Europe is not always an “extreme right wing” individual in America. That’s important to note
So he belongs to the swedish nazi party that believes in attacks on government buildings , sounds like adolph obammas best friend bill ayers.

TWO EXAMPLES I found so far.
Proof positive that the guy is nuts.
“Most people here have nothing against Muslims in general, Muslims do not follow the Quran that is. It is the political doctrine of Islam is the problem.”
Apparently the part about killing innocent people wasn’t such a problem for him, either. His problem is that they aren’t blond and blue eyed.
An isolationist, he wants Norway to be Norway. Norwegian people, values, culture not some muddled, middling, multicultural Marxist and Islamic state which he sees the EU becoming.
He finds Marxism has crowded out national identity in education and the press with opposition belittled, dismissed or attacked. He finds high risk in a Marxist-led European Union believing it would follow other failed states before it like the Soviet Union in killing millions or follow the bloodshed that has come with prior invasions from Islamic radicals over the centuries.
Along with the Marxists, he takes issue with the Nazis and pre-enlightenment Christendom as blood-shedding imperialists.
This isn't about ideology or racial supremacy but national identity.
Even after the video, I can't see the connection between the attacks and his goals. How are they a means to further his cause rather than cutting the legs out from under it and playing into the very Marxist propagandist hands he fears.
“Why is he regarded as a right-winger?”
Because he is a white male who believed in God (his own definition of God).

You are so right.
He praised Obama’s communication skills, not Obama’s politics. Is Obama a bad orator?
Never heard of a conservative with a manifesto.
He believes he just started the clock on the 70 year revolution. He thinks this will inspire more attacks, an underground, a movement. He plans on becoming the leader of a political movement from prison.
My reading so far is that he's given up on the political system as a rigged game and concluded that violence was the "only logical option" (his words) at this point.
