What other category could he fit in? This is a man who took a look at the existing power structures and thought "why are THEY on top? They aren't worthy. Let me just murder anyone who argues otherwise." Anyone too weak for his taste isn't just killed, but humiliated and broken, basically for no reason. Even the new name of his forces, Black Legion, was an attempt to destroy the legacy of his own surrogate father Horus just to show his disdain for the dead primarch. There are even comments from authors stating he's deliberately prolonging the Long War beacuse he doesn't want the Chaos Gods to win yet either -- meaning he's content to just plod around the galaxy ignoring his objectives killing everything else in his path for no reason but to frustrate cosmic beings that are ironically powerless (politically speaking) to stop him
