Ecofascism takes the aesthetics and urgency of ecological collapse and twists them into exclusionary, authoritarian responses.
It is the dark shadow of solarpunk — purity, harmony, and “nature” weaponized as justification for control.
- Purity politics — land and people must be “cleansed.”
- Population control — scarcity framed as requiring authoritarian solutions.
- Borders as ecology — “protecting nature” through exclusion and violence.
- Greenwashing fascism — selling authoritarianism as environmental necessity.
- Related to Fascism — ecofascism as a variant of authoritarian hierarchy.
- Connected to Technofeudalism — enclosure of land and resources.
- Countered by Commons — collective, plural, liberatory ecological practices.
- Challenged by Solarpunk Anti-Cooption — resisting the drift of solarpunk into ecofascist aesthetics.
