He's an idealist who has over many years always played the rebel. He believes in his causes, and cannot accept that anything he has ever done is wrong - which is why he doesn't really try to hide what he has done, but tends to not comment (himself) when these things come to light. When he's pressed or interviewed on them, he always shows irritation or annoyance as he can't actually understand what the problem is. He believes in worldwide Marxist revolution and believes that everyone else either (a) should also believe in it, or (b) must be an evil American/Zionist.
