    One thing you forgot about eco fascism is how the Nazis wanted to use traditional “Aryan” farming methods thought up by the same group of “anthropologists” who went all over the world measuring heads and faces.

      YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, ONCE WE UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF ANCIENT ARYAN THULE FARMING WE CAN GROW CROPS IN THE ARCTIC

    I always imagined eco-fascism more as an authoritarian government mandating the arguably necessary individual choices that people just won’t make on their own.

    • You will be forced out of the suburbs and into an urban broom closet
    • Your cars will be seized and scrapped
    • You will not eat red meat
    • You will eat the bugmeal
    • etc.

    Instead of the flimsiest, most insincere excuse for normal ethno-political-motivated fascism. But I guess that’s what it would devolve into in practice.

      That’s more of an eco-state-communism.

      Fascism is about doing violence on poor people and minorities. Like calling a mass migration from a region that has become uninhabitable through climate change an invasion and massacring them all at the border.

      And I’m sorry but wanting to eat red meat does not make you an oppressed minority.

      Something that we might reasonably call ecofascism probably would do all of the above, but it would probably also simultaneously devolve into an increasingly arbitrary-yet-dogmatic ethnocentric polity. Also, lot of weird granola fash these days. Though I guess that’s not new, per se.

      After all, you wouldn’t be a TRAITOR to the EARTH by DISSENTING against our great and noble caretaker government, would you!?

      Mostly, though, I found the Hitler picture hilarious and had to use it. XD

      Suburbs are fine, you are just going to have to cycle to your nearest tram stop. Oh, and anyone growing monocultures in their gardens will be exterminated.

        What if I want to abolish all lawns because I hate both mowing and the insects that natural diversity brings, and I want everyone to cultivate Zen gardens and mindfulness instead

          Grass can be pretty good for pathways though, regently got an allotment and many people use grass pathways to walk across between vegetable beds. Some are paved with slabs and some use woodchips, but really grass is the cheapest option as it’s free to just let it grow there.
