Ecofascism (sometimes spelled eco-fascism[1]) is a term used to describe individuals and groups which combine environmentalism with fascism.[2]
Philosopher André Gorz characterized eco-fascism as hypothetical forms of totalitarianism based on an ecological orientation of politics.[3] Similar definitions have been used by others in older academic literature in accusations of ecofascism of "environmental fascism".[4] However, since the 2010s, a number of individuals and groups have emerged that either self-identify as "ecofascist" or have been labelled as "ecofascist" by academic or journalistic sources.[5] These individuals and groups synthesise radical far-right politics with environmentalism,[6][7] and will typically argue that overpopulation is the primary threat to the environment and that the only solution is a complete halt to immigration or, at their most extreme, genocide against non-White groups and ethnicities.[8] Many far-right political parties have added green politics to their platforms.[9][1][10] Through the 2010s ecofascism has seen increasing support.[11]
