Is the Oslo Gunman Really Right-Wing?

Is Oslo Normay Gunman Anders Behring Breivik Really a Right Wing Extremist?As the world thirsts for information on the details surrounding the bombing and mass shooting in Oslo, Norway, the narrative has turned to gunman Anders Behring Breivik and his political affiliations. 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 can’t be fit into a neat box.

The Atlantic has pulled together the overarching mainstream narrative thus far on Breivik: he‘s a Christian conservative who didn’t like Muslims. Here’s how they write it:

Religious views: According to the BBC, Breivik has a Facebook and Twitter account that he set up a mere few days ago on July 17, where he identifies himself as a Christian and a conservative. There are several reports of his anti-Muslim views. In a post in Norwegian in an online forum on December 2009, a user named Anders Behring Breivik claims there is not one country where Muslims have peacefully lived with non-Muslims, stating that instead it has had “catastrophic consequences” for non-Muslims.

Political views: The Daily Mail reports that National police chief Sveinung Sponheim told public broadcaster NRK that the suspected gunman’s internet postings “suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and anti-Muslim views, but if that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen.” Furthermore, the Norwegian daily Verdens Gang quoted a friend as saying Breivik became a rightwing extremist in his late 20s.

But is that an oversimplified explanation?

Consider this: The Daily Mail opens its profile on Breivik with some information that would seem to shake up any simple explanation of who he is or what he believed:

The man responsible for the massacre in Norway was a member of a Swedish nazi forum which encourages attacks on government buildings.

It was also revealed by local police that he had extreme right wing views who hated Muslims.

According to Swedish website Expo Anders Behring Breivik is a member of ‘Nordisk’ which has 22,000 members and focuses on political terrorism.

[...]

[His Facebook profile] also listed interests such as body-building and freemasonry. [Emphasis added]

That’s 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 doesn’t reflect the views of a conservative Christian, as he claimed to be.

It’s also important to note that the terms of American politics are not easily transferable to European politics. Often, the extremes in Europe are communists on the left and fascists on the right. In America, “extreme right wing” has been hijacked to label conservatives who adhere strictly to the Constitution, or who fight for legal immigration. (Some on the American left have even succeeded in making “extreme right wing” synonymous with the Tea Party.) In Europe, however, the term could mean zealous nationalists and militant fascists.

So, an “extreme right wing” individual in Europe is not always an “extreme right wing” individual in America. That’s important to note, as the designation will undoubtedly make the rounds in the attack’s aftermath.

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.

Breivik’s beliefs — and the actions he implemented — may show he and his ideology are as fuzzy as they come.

Author’s note: consider this a starting point as we continue to investigate Breivik. The questions raised here are important to start asking, and we’ll continue trying to answer them as we go forward. Also, since the situation is fluid, stay tuned for additional information on his background.

      An anti-establishment pro anarchist conservative? Now there‘s an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one. The fallacy of moral equivalence drips from the media calling this clown a conservative. Revisionists have painted in textbooks that Hitler and the Nazi’s were far right wing conservatives, and nothing could be further from the truth.

      They were anarchists who became terrorists, just like this douche. That makes them extreme left wing.

      Nazi or National Socialist German Workers Party is a combination of Marxist ideology in the form of the Progressive movement and Authoritarianism. That makes Naziism extreme far left on the Political scale, and is an Oligarchy from an American Political Science perspective. People misinterpret the American Founders when they claimed to be Liberal. That tag was associated with any members of the Crown who campaigned against the Monarchy. The Classical Liberalism of the Founders would be considered right on the Political spectrum today, making them Conservative by association, but Republican (not the Party, but in the reference to Rule by Equal Justice under a fixed set of Laws toward individual Liberty) out from under the authoritarian rule.

      LONDON (AP) – In the wake of Norway’s terrorist attack, the European police agency is setting up a task force of more than 50 experts to help northern European countries investigate non-Islamic terror threats, its spokesman told The Associated Press on Saturday.

      Soeren Pedersen said the group, which is based in The Hague, hopes to help Norway and nearby countries in their investigations in the coming weeks. He said Norway has not requested forensic experts but that Europol could provide them if needed.

      “There is no doubt that the threat from Islamist terrorism is still valid,” he said. “But there have actually been warnings that (right-wing groups) are getting more professional, more aggressive in the way they attract others to their cause.”

      Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, European countries have viewed Islamic terrorism as the primary threat. But the fact the suspect in Friday’s twin attacks turned out to be a Norwegian with right-wing views is raising questions about whether homegrown, non-Islamic terror threats have been neglected.

      You’ve bought the liberal lie about Nazism, and can’t therefore properly define either right OR left. But with a little thinking, you can get over that. The right is about individual liberty and minimal govt intervention. Because that’s the central idea, the right gets painted as pro-business, and business can get in bed with govt for mutual benefit, like in fascist regimes who talk nationalism, and fatherland, but who build huge bureaucracies (Hitler had double ministries for EVERYTHING) for the concentration of power in the state, not the people. Conservatives believe the people should have the power, not the state. Socialist was part of their NAME, not a mere lie–Nazis wanted state control of means of production. Liberals nowadays promote unions because unions support state control, in Germany unions opposed Hitler’s consolidating moves, so he opposed them.
      If you understand that state control is the heart of the matter, you’ll make less misdiagnoses of political problems, and cry “misinformation” on the Blaze a lot less.

      ————————————————————————————————————————————————
      There were 2 competing views of Socialism emerging as the 19th century opened. The philosophies of Hegel gaining prominent postulations. Leroux who was a dreamer, and philosopher embraced the ideologies and fashioned Romanticism from much of Hegels work. This age saw the fruits and the rotten fruits of the Age of Reason that gave formative structure to the rapidly changing world landscape. From Hegels works such as “Science of Logic”, the “Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences”, and “Philosophy of Right”. It’s from these principles that Marx and Engels drew from known as the hegelian dialect to fashion the Socialism that leads to (theoretically) Utopian Society. Two camps emerged in the Germany that gave rise to Hitler. They were the left and right constituents of hegelian dialect. Hegelian dialect is entirely left wing, though within it’s body there was a left and right. I’d love to give some lessons on the Partnership of Stalin and Hitler, and Hitlers treason against his compact with Russia. They were in the exact same camp, extreme left.

      The truth is this is almost a perfect definition of Libertarian (big L). Anti-Christian, anti-semitic, anti-establishment, anarchist. They share some of those with leftists. Other characteristics they share with leftists are anti-corporation, pro-illicit drug, isolationism, anti-national defense/war, etc. Libertarians (big L) share many more traits with leftists than not.

      Oh please people. Face the facts as they are known so far. This guy was a youth and adult member of a politically Conservative group (who have expressed shock at his being a member) who are adamantly opposed to immigration as most of you are here. He railed against Muslims on the web. The was a member of a gun club. He claimed to be a fundamentalist Christian. He attacked the liberal PM of Norway. And let’s not forget that the people he killed were attending a gathering teenagers involved with the liberal movement in Norway.

      This was a white, gun toting, conservative, fundamentalist Christian. Just like the people who post here.

      My point? I have several. I read posts trying to pervert the fact of this story to pretend that this guy, who killed 85 liberal leaning teenagers was really a liberal. Please don’t try that, you just sound stupid.

      Second, this event points out the hypocrisy of those of you who will take terrorists acts of a vanishingly small number of the Muslim population, and claim that all Muslims are exactly the same. I wonder if Cain will now say he won’t have white, Christian, conservatives in his cabinet because of this guy and Timothy Mcveigh.

      Hello HAPPYSTRETCHEDTHIN. Glad to make you acquaintance. I hope to have future debates with you! You certainly express yourself well and grammatically and without overt accusation or name calling.

      I feel complimented by the way I read your first paragraph which includes the phrase, “long and storied trollmanship.” Yes, I’ve posted here for a long time, but “storied” is a serious compliment. I’m happy that my positions sometime carry over from one post to another, if that’s what you mean.

      You also said in that first paragraph that I have no “comprehension of the first principles of conservatism.” Okay. I think I do, you think I don’t. So that’s an area of future debate, since you gave no prior example of my posts that lead you to that opinion.

      As far as the guy in Norway, he was just crazy. His actions were not because he was conservative or whatever else. He was just nuts.

      The only point I tried to make was the same as you are making. Muslims that slaughter others in name of the Muslim religion have no true understanding of the Muslim religion. I’m sure you agree with that. If you won’t blame all Muslims for the actions of 1/100,000 of a percent of Muslims I won’t blame conservative like you on the actions of this guy.

      You keep demonstrating ignorance among other things (poor reading skills, logical fallacies). No one seriously blames all Muslims for terrorist acts. That would be unfair, since, by your stats, only 1/100,000 commit terrorist acts. But you’re already disingenuous in bringing that up: are we not supposed to notice that the VAST majority of terrorist acts are perpetrated by Muslims? Your logic doesn’t hold. While I would agree with you that Muslims certainly have the right to define what is and what is not part of their religion, how can you ignore that well over that 1/100,000 figure you pulled out of your hat think Al-Qaeda is on the right track? And although conservatism has varieties, you should admit that martyrdom, warfare for ideology, and terrorism simply aren’t debatable modes of expression like they are in the Muslim faith. It’s not the people that we oppose, it’s their dangerous ideas.
      Now, let‘s confess that we don’t have a clear picture of Ander’s beliefs just yet. But I‘ll bet you a day’s worth of silence on the Blaze he hated immigrants for draining his nanny state, not because he wanted limited govt and individual liberties.

This could be a sample of things to come here in the US if the libs get desperate. This guy does these acts then comes out with, what I believe, to be a phony confession in an attempt to smear the reputation of Christian conservatives. And with the maximum penalty of 21 years, he probably felt it was worth the smear. Or worse, someone in their government set him up to it and is going to reward him with a sorter sentence and some money. They might try to pass some crazy hate speech laws to silence the opposition.

      Please go to Youtube and see the shooter’s 12 minute manifesto for yourself. Read his words. He hated Muslims and the Muslim creep into all of Europe. He hated multi-culturalism which he thought was a liberal hate doctrine that was destroying Europe and encouraging the spread of Islam in Europe. He makes a case that Islam is incompatible with European culture and life. He hated European policy makers that push political correctness and Sharia acceptance. It seems he thought that by striking at the liberal multi-culturalists (the Prime Minister who office was bombed and who was supposed to be at the youth camp) he was striking blow against multi-cultural policies. By hitting the labor party camp, (a propaganda indoctrination camp) I bet he thought he was knocking out their future leadership and brain trust. He appeared to believe in Christian Crusaders, that people need to rise up (violently apparently) against Muslims and stop the tide of multi-culturalism. While NOT agreeing with his methods, many people will respond to the message he wrote about. Read it for yourself. Don’t form your opinions from website headlines. God bless his many victims.

      Naziism = America‘s Left and Europe’s Right (American Right IS ABSOLUTELY NOT Socialist in any way, not Nazi (German for National Socialist Party), not Communist.. the American Left IS strongly Socialist.)

      Bigotry = nothing to do with political beliefs left nor right, but American left does claim, unrealistically, to be more tolerant; although they definitely appear to be less tolerant. Typical American Right-wingers don’t attack others simply for having different values, the left does that all day long.

      Anti-government = Anarchist or Revolutionary — neither left nor right if Anarchist (self-proclaimed Nazi, therefore must be a Revolutionary) – Tendency: American Leftist due to Socialism.

      Christian??? = seriously??? Okay… Tendency towards American right if that were true.

The religious controlled government of Iran is far left, as an example. The true meaning of Right and Left has always been difined by the amount FREEDOM people have in any given society. No freedom and all govt control on the left, all freedom and no govt on the right. True Anarchists who believe in no govt are an example of far right, not left as implied by the author.

      Hell if you take a long hard look at modern American Democrats and European National socialists (NAZI party) there is little if any difference with the exception that Euro NAZI’s are not as misogynistic as American Democrats.

      “This guy was a youth and adult member of a politically Conservative group (who have expressed shock at his being a member) who are adamantly opposed to immigration as most of you are here.”

      I highly doubt most people here are opposed to immigration.

      Citizenship does mean something in each country – first and foremost being that you have the rights of citizenship within the borders of your country, and not outside of those borders; and second is the inverse: non-citizens do not have the rights of citizenship within your borders.

      Further, the citizens of a given country are entitled to defend their borders from invasion, which includes keeping non-citizens out.

      So, whether we want to oppose immigration or not, is our decision, and there’s nothing at all wrong with that. But as Americans, I would say that we very much enjoy seeing people escape the oppression of central planning, and if they love their own freedom as well as everyone else’s, then they are welcome to seek asylum.

      But at no point does any country NEED immigrants.

Nice try. I see you’ve given up trying to claim the guy was not conservative, but now have taken the position that he was reacting to liberal politcs. In any case, you’re wrong. Some of his writings have already been released. For example, “–The author accuses Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and his Labour Party of perpetuating “cultural Marxist/multiculturalist ideals” and indoctrinating youth with those ideals.” He probably got that line from this website. IMO, you think most terrorist acts are committed by Islamic people because that’s how you define terrorism. You don’t count Columbine, Virginia Tech, the anthrax attacks, hate crime (which are meant to terrorize a group), gang or drug murders (meant to terrorize the opposition).

I called you on your 1/100,000 figure showing how it made false assumptions and asked the wrong question, and is therefore disingenuous and intellectually dishonest. Then in your reply you avoid dealing with the fact that some characteristically Muslim ideas are dangerous.

It’s amazing how right you are even while projecting your own characteristics onto me, apparently unaware you’re doing so.
      Let me educate you on Scandinavia. They have such nanny states, and multiculti policies that there have been huge debates about Muslims there for a decade or more. They realize that they‘ve opened up citizen’s benefits to immigrants so much that resources for non-immigrants are getting slim. With Muslim birth rates, many fear nanny state benefits are becoming unsustainable.

      Hello again stretchedthin, I hope you didn’t spend much time composing that response. I’m still waiting to hear what “logical fallacy” you are referencing, unless it’s ad hominem. You suggested that I’m similar to this die hard conservative who murdered defenseless liberals because neither of us understand conservatism. Nice slam.

      In any case, let’s discuss your Islamaphobia. My 1/100,000% was a “Fermi estimate” based on people who commit terrorists acts and those who support them. The first step is to estimate how many actual terrorists have carried out attacks against the west. There are the guys in the planes on 9-11, OBL, KSM, Richard Reid, the guys who attacked Mumbai, the Ft. Hood shooter etc. I tried to estimate of people who were actually directly involved in those attacks (shooting guns, blowing up bombs etc) and got may 100. Maybe there are more, I don’t know. And for each of those terrorists, how many people actively supported, financed and abetted their acts. I guessed 100 per terrorist. So that’s my ballpark figure. I did it in my head, but that’s my figure.

      Let’s say you claim 1000 individuals who actually killed innoncent Westerners and that for each and every one of them, they had 1000 people materially supporting them, That’s a million Islamic terrorists out of the 1.5 billion Muslims in the world: 0.067% of the Muslim population.

      Truth #1: No one seriously blames all Muslims for terrorism, but we DO examine their beliefs and find they tend more to violence and support for terrorism.
      Backup: http://pewglobal.org/2010/12/02/muslims-around-the-world-divided-on-hamas-and-hezbollah/
      http://www.doubledutchpolitics.com/2010/12/shock-13-of-british-muslims-believe-killing-in-the-name-of-islam-is-justified/
      Neither the Pew nor Wikileaks naturally agree with conservatives on just about anything, so you can’t go after my sources for bias.
      Fallacy #2: guilt by association: you claim conservatives think like Breivik who wanted a crusade against Muslims
      Truth #2: we think they have bad ideas, and we fight them in the arena of ideas. But since we also believe first in freedom (especially of religion) conservatives don’t take up arms or try to enforce belief. Instead we persuade by reason, and beat them at the ballot-box.

      I repeat again: you should admit that martyrdom, warfare for ideology, and terrorism simply aren’t debatable modes of expression like they are in the Muslim faith.
      Read carefully, constantly projecting conservato-phobe!

      This is truly hilarious: Nazis were Socialists, therefore Nazi Germany was a left wing, communist state. This must be the stupidest thing ever written at the Blaze. If Germany was communist, why did it attack Communist Russia? If Germany was communist, why was it allied with Italy/Mussolini, a conservative fascist state?

      The fact is Anders Behring Breivik is a rightwing conservative. He admits as much in his manifesto: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2017851/Norway-attacks-gunman-Anders-Behring-Breivik-right-wing-extremist-hated-Muslims.html.

      No matter how much the like minded conservatives and right wing extremists here try to deny their fellowship with Anders, the facts and history of comments here speak for themselves.

      I suggest you all grow a pair and just own up to what you believe: that Ander Behring Breivik is your hero and you only dream you had the guts to do what he did.

      Of course, this is a privately owned website, so they have a right to post my comments or not. But I’d think if the editors were confident in their opinions, they wouldn’t worry much about “storied” liberal posters. Or posters who are “foisting” their opinions here. If they were secure in their opinions, they would have any worry about liberals posting. Their ideas would just get shot down with logic and intelligence right?

      Ayn Rand was correct with regard to Fascism and Nazism. They are in their essence cut from the same cloth as Communism and Marxism. They all come from the same idea that men are to be formed and controlled by the state. They all desire to create a society that is a “collective,” rather than rational, thinking individuals. The only difference between Fascism and Communism is that the former’s focus is upon nationalist notions, while the latter’s is more universal in scope. However, if one actually examines the internal framework of a Nazi/Fascist state, and one that was Soviet/Marxist, there was practically no difference between them. Both systems were essentially neo-feudal serfdoms.

      But, of course, in the U.S., the nation’s most powerful political and financial factions — especially those who control the National Security State — are immune from meaningful scrutiny and investigation. As a result, President Obama — in what I think is one his most indefensible acts — actually threatened to veto the entire intelligence authorization bill if it included a proposed bipartisan amendment (passed by the House) that would have mandated an independent inquiry into the FBI’s anthrax investigation. Democratic Rep. Rush Holt, whose New Jersey district was the site where the letters were allegedly mailed and one of the bill’s sponsors, said at the time he was appalled that “an Administration that has pledged to be transparent and accountable would seek to block any review of the investigation in this matter.”

After they do these evil things, you will often hear their friends and co-workers say they are quite surprised. Or, maybe you will hear friends and co-workers say they thought the person had changed into someone they no longer recognized.

      But when do you ever hear friends and co-workers say, “Well, he was quite rational, very clear thinking and always saw both sides of every issue”?

      People lose it sometimes. They go nuts, for lack of a better term. Left or right doesn’t do it to them. Left or right just becomes their irrational conveyance to crazyville, but they no longer understand what left or right is. They’re just nuts.

The evidence she uncovered in ‘The Third Terrorist’ is alarming and stunning. The Clinton administration did a fine job of covering up this inconvenient bit of information. It was much more beneficial to have this act be carried out by a “right wing extremist”. We must continually look passed what is being reported and go in search for the truth.

      “Nazism was a Right wing ideology. This is an undeniable FACT”.

      Labeling Nazism right wing was a propaganda coup for the left. The extreme left advocates totalitarian government. Its opposite is not totalitarian government run by a different gang of thugs. Its opposite is also not anarchy as that results in a situation where, instead of one all powerful gang of thugs, you have a bunch of petty gangs defending their turf and woe be unto anyone who dares to trespass. The opposite of totalitarianism is ordered liberty, which we have in the United States, and which the left is hell bent on destroying. Ordered liberty is the right wing ideology.

      “Nazis are socialists because they have socialist in their name as much as panda bears are bears because they have bears in their name.”

      That’s absurd. Pandas didn’t name themselves bears but Nazis did name themselves socialists. Fascism and Nazism have essentially the same ideology at their core. The main difference is that Nazis are more bloodthirsty. Hitler and Mussolini themselves declared that they were socialists. The policies they enacted when they were in power prove it. Look at the name of the movement-National Socialism; its adherents chose it for themselves. That’s a pretty good indication that their ideology is indeed socialist.

      Fact: Both Fascism and Communism have their ideological origins in late 18th/early 19th-century socialist theory (which occured in reaction to the rise of individualism and capitalism that characterize the Enlightenment), and the French Revolution (whose aims grew out of the philosophy of J.-J. Rousseau as those of American Revolution grew out of the philosophy of John Locke).

      “It is obvious what the fraudulent issue of fascism versus communism accomplishes: it sets up, as opposites, two variants of the same political system; … it switches the choice of ‘Freedom or dictatorship?‘ into ’Which kind of dictatorship?’”
      —Ayn Rand

      marybethelizabeth, completely wrong. Communism is ruled by an oligarchy. Democracy by a mob. Republicanism by elected representatives of the citizenry.

    But the MSM wants him to be just like the “fly-over” people in America. That way they can justify their bias…

    The “right wing extremists” like me find his actions abhorrent. My guns are for defense, not offense. My Bible teaches me to love everyone, forgive my enemies, and work for peace among my fellow man while giving them insight into the Good News of Christ’s resurrection.

    Sorry, MSNBC, this fellow was a racist crackpot with hate in his heart…a Christian he most certainly was not.

    ‘Let me get this straight … We’re going to be “gifted” with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don’t. Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that didn’t read it, but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, for which we’ll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that’s broke!

    ” It certainly doesn’t reflect the views of a conservative Christian, as he claimed to be.”

    Oh come now. If this site can paint Muslims as terrorists, why do we make exceptions outside of it?

    The correct thing to say is he was INSANE. No sane person murders almost 100 people. All the background noise: his racist views, his proclaimed religion, his political ideology; they are all just justifications grasped at by a public that can’t accept that bad things will happen to innocent people and we can never prevent all of them from happening.

    This nut is as much a christian as OBL was a Muslim. What they share is a hatred fueled by ignorance and mental instability.

      Its the Muslims that paint themselves as terrorists! Christians, in every instance denounce violence towards other faiths. Muslims do not. Christianity does not advocate violence, Islam does. You can not equate the two.

      think about it, yes it’s true that not all muslims are terrorist, so far all the terrorist have been muslim. Check your facts, islam teaches that if the infidel cannot be converted he must be killed. The media will pain t this assh%$e as a conservative NO MATTER WHAT comes out. The painted Timothy McVay as a religious nut even AFTER he confested to being an atheist. All this will do is give them another excuse for….more gun control….more survalence cameras….more wire taps….more….. It all ends the same way…more control over us, period, and that is the name of the game. Wether it’s Clinton, Bush or obummer, it’s the same means to the same end, control and one world government…but it’s for our own good ;)

      What you’re saying is that this man was sane. IF he was sane, he thought of himself as:
      1. Christian
      2. Conservative
      I personally don’t believe this. Look at the reaction to the Obamasocialist policies on this site: if this was common, most of the users here would be up in arms. Know why we don’t? It’s not cowardice: it’s SANITY. This guy snapped. he was a nut, and he did an insane thing. Insane people need no reason – they make up their own. That’s why I say it;s ridiculous to ascribe his “reasons” to right-wing political views or his religion. He wasn’t sane.

      If you want to think he’s sane, well, I feel you’re delusional. But in that case, you need to answer some pointed questions: WHY does he thing this is right? WHY does he feel he’s a Christian? And WHY does he feel this is a proper conservative response?

      The answers may not be what you like – that instability + political causation = terrorism. I opine that he was insane, and insanity needs no logical reason.

      I am in agreement with you, something is just not right about this.. Someone is setting a narrative.. Anyone trying to further any cause, knows shooting children will turn the world against them.. Something is not right here… This was a well planned and executed plan, now they are trying to set up a lone gunman theory.. Who financed it, and why children? They knew what the impact would be…
