      Have you read Stranger in a Strange Land? That reads like he’s a hippy, not a conservative.

        I have, though it leads me more toward thinking of him as libertarian more than conservative. As well his dislike of organized religion. Reading other books lends more toward the conservative side of things. His history in politics and movements as well lends more credence he is conservative. Now we’re talking more of neo-liberal than fascist.

          On that i’d agree. Maybe he was liberal early in life and drifted rightwards. Stranger was one of his earlier novels.
