Salamantis - You seem to want to falsely limit ‘right’ and ‘right-wing’ to the form of collectivism identified as fascism, and ‘left’ and ‘left-wing’ to the form of collectivism identified as communism. Those are invalid limitations.

You additionally seem to want to divorce any form of individualism from these categories as well - which is why you divorce ‘classical conservativism and liberalism’ from the “collectivisms” spectrum, ie political premises which are different *mixes* of individualism and collectivism as a result of different ethical premises (and which is also why ‘religious’ is not a third category from right or left as you indicate). In other words, this is also an invalid limitation on ‘left’ and ‘right’.

Any arguments/conclusions based on these invalid limitations (read: your three posts) are themselves thus invalid.

The facts (as have already been identified) are these: Environmentalism is a leftist philosophy. The Unibomber was a (rabid) environmentalist. Therefore the Unibomber was ‘left-wing’. That he disagreed with *other* leftist philosophies doesn’t change any of these facts.
