Political beliefs
Thompson's early letters to friends suggest an interest in Ayn Rand's Objectivism, but he later drifted away from Rand's version of politics. His political position was frequently libertarian, anarchist, and socialist. In the documentary "Breakfast With Hunter," Thompson can be seen in several scenes wearing different Che Guevara t-shirts, while his son Juan Thompson acknowledges that his father had "a perverse resistance to security and predictability, and a deliberate disregard for propriety."[citation needed]
Thompson's official biographer and longtime friend Douglas Brinkley said:
"He's both a kind of old-fashioned believer in democratic virtues, but also an anarchist. There's always that unpredictable element with him. In any given situation, as soon as he feels there's a system closing in, he'll destroy it"
Oh, nothing for the ideologies or beliefs Gonzo had. Just for a fun, off-the-wall nickname. ;o)
