eco-fascism
Environmental totalitarian ideology
Eco-fascism is an ideology that combines environmental concerns with authoritarian or fascist politics, typically advocating harsh measures—including population control, closed borders, or ethnic cleansing—to protect nature or address ecological crisis.
Critics apply the term to movements that blame environmental degradation on immigration, overpopulation, or particular ethnic groups rather than industrial capitalism.
The term also describes historical fascist movements that incorporated nature worship or agrarian romanticism: The manifesto revealed eco-fascist ideas about culling "excess" populations.
