im not sure if im either. im generally for free market economy and for private ownership how does that make me left exactly? and what makes me exactly socially conservative? i supported basically all social freedoms and civil rights.
Public ownership of certain materials, support of enviromentalism are left wing traits. You might be closer to being a moderate, but it's still on the left side. Socially conservative, even though you support free speech and the likes, those are "conservative" ideas in the sense that we've had them already, making them by default conservative. That along with your stance on drugs and Euthanasia tells me more of a conservative stance.
well conservative comes from to conserve or preserve certain traditions but it doesnt tell me much, in ancient greece the pederast supporter and supporters of same sex relationships might have been conservatives while early christians where revolutionaries. it doesnt tell much about the idea. in 100 years same sex marriage might be already a conservative idea. i think freedom of speech etc. is still a liberal idea because liberal comes from liberty and means freedom, i supported most freedoms except drugs, abortion and same sex marriage because those are destructive in my opinion but i supported even civil unions for gays. well the nazis were extreme right wingers and supported euthanasia, euthanasia has a negative association in my opinion just like eugenics, it is a mean of industrialising human death/life and birth. also environmentalism is part of most racial supremacist organisations like the BNP and NPD in Europe. While destruction of nature and historical cultural monuments and places was part of many left wing communist regimes. It is neither left nor right. And there are many shades between left (public ownership of means of production) and right (unlimited free market economy). I dont know if im exactly on the left side of the spectrum. Well What do you think which party would suit me best?
Using your own logic, since Gay marriage in Greece would have been conservative, and the early Christians trying to outlaw it would have been the liberal position, the notion of freedom of speech in a place where it has existed for say 200+ years, it would be conservative now. Albeit, it depends on the country. Somewhere where there's a dictatorship, the notion of freedom of speech is a liberal one. Hence why I say freedom of speech is a conservative thing in this country now. But I'll say you're more of a moderate social conservative, I didn't realize you supported civil unions for Homosexual couples.

It builds on and expands the scope of the individual rights and liberties valued by classical liberalism to better account for important economic and inter-generational considerations which would otherwise be neglected and arguably have some undesirable consequences for people, these issues mainly stemming from the classical liberal excessively emphasizing the importance, and demanding inalienability, of private property rights.
