Ecofascism Resurgent

William de Vere

4,631 words

While mankind suffers through the worst global crisis in recent memory, the rest of the world appears to be benefiting from our discomfiture.

The quarantines, travel bans, and economic stagnation brought about by COVID-19 have had a number of unintended consequences for the natural environment: improvements in air quality resulting from the reduction of major pollutants such as nitrous oxide and greenhouse gases; cleaner waterways (most famously the canals of Venice); and the return of wildlife to humanized landscapes.

While some of the more outrageous claims (concerning Venetian dolphins and drunk elephants) have been debunked as fabrications, this has not prevented a few Twitter users from making some controversial observations on the current crisis: “Corona is the cure. People are the disease.” “This isn’t an apocalypse. It’s an awakening.” “The earth is cleansing herself.” “The human race is so shitty that when we’re absent, the world begins to thrive again.” And the one that has garnered the most attention:

Comments like these have caused a fair amount of hand-wringing among the environmental Left, not because they are objectively untrue, but rather because of their association with the specter of ecofascism.

While libertarians and Republican dads tend to denounce any kind of environmental concern, from driving hybrids to recycling, as “ecofascism,” for the Left, ecofascism is best defined as “anything in the environmental movement that makes us uncomfortable.” This holds true whether or not the accused actually supports authoritarianism, corporatism, nationalism, or any other hallmarks of historical Fascism. It is particularly true if the proponent upholds race realism or ethnonationalism, which are invariably castigated as forms of “white supremacy.”

Some unfashionable ideas that the Left associates with ecofascism include:

  • Any focus on stabilizing human population growth in the Third World;
  • Any suggestion that immigration and open borders have negative environmental effects;
  • Any criticism of the human race in terms of its ecological impact (namely because this fails to differentiate between oppressive white patriarchs and victimized peoples of color);
  • Any criticism of poor ecological practices by non-Westerners, such as poaching, deforestation, and excessive reproduction;
  • Any condemnation of individualism, democracy, or liberalism for their inability to resolve key environmental issues; and
  • Any suggestion that there is a natural order or hierarchy which mankind ought to model itself upon and respect.

Since this is not a coherent platform but rather a broad set of features common to various environmental thinkers and groups, I will refer to this constellation of ideas as “Ur-Ecofascism,” following Umberto Eco’s similarly vague (and similarly polemical) description of Fascist ideology.

Due to these unpalatable associations, any suggestion that the recent pandemic might have an environmental silver lining is, of course, anathema to the Left — for whom the only possible silver lining would be sabotaging Trump’s re-election bid.

A Brief Aside on Ur-Ecofascism

Ever since the beginnings of the environmental movement, there have been some adherents who cheer on mass death as a means of nature “cleansing” itself. In the seventies, this included Garret Hardin’s “lifeboat ethics” and the policies of Paul Ehrlich (of Population Bomb notoriety), whose critics regarded such misanthropy as implicit in their worldview. Ironically, these thinkers envisioned overpopulation as an existential threat to mankind, and were accordingly more concerned with saving future humans than wild nature for its own sake.

One finds this view quite openly espoused by the early Earth First! ecowarriors, one of whom claimed in 1982 that “the heart and soul of EARTH FIRST! philosophy is that the human race resembles a cancer, which is rapidly devastating the Earth and Her community of life, and leading toward a massive ecological breakdown” [1]. Founder Dave Foreman similarly proclaimed that “in our decimation of biological diversity, in our production of toxins, in our attack on the basic life-support system of Earth, in our explosive population growth, we humans have become a disease — the Humanpox” [2]. Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson likewise enjoined his readers to “think of our species as the AIDS of the earth” [3]. Another ecowarrior claimed in 1987 that “if radical environmentalists were to invent a disease to bring human population back to ecological sanity, it would probably be something like AIDS,” as it could bring about a relatively peaceful reduction of the human population that would inflict far less damage on the natural world than war or nuclear holocaust [4]. In a 1983 article, Foreman suggested that the human population ought to be reduced to fewer than a billion worldwide, and called for state-subsidized sterilization after having one child, tax penalties for parents, the restriction of life-support technology, capital punishment for violent crimes, and “mandatory sterilization for all people with genetic defects or those unfit to be parents” [5]. Others also called for ending foreign aid to impoverished countries suffering drought or famine, claiming that nature should be allowed to take its course.

And that is coming from a group of self-identified anarchists! We also have the statements of literal ecofascists, such as the late and venerable Pentti Linkola, whose observations of mass man’s destructive nature famously led him to write: “If there were a button I could press, I would sacrifice myself without hesitating, if it meant millions of people would die.” Rather than mass die-offs, however, his preference was for the complete abolition of liberal democracy and the institution of a strong centralized government with “tireless control of citizens,” which could enact the controversial measures necessary to reverse human-inflicted environmental damage.

There is also the “Esoteric National Socialist” Savitri Devi, who prized the aristocrats of the natural world — among which she included tigers, ancient oak trees, and Aryan man — and whose life was dedicated to their preservation. Hence, she applauded the National Socialist efforts at conservation and its rejection of Christian anthropocentrism; hence, she believed in the necessity for a worldwide population reduction, while still ensuring the survival of Aryan man against the encroaching hordes from the South and East. However, for a variety of historical reasons, “Man, formerly an integral part of Nature (and sometimes its crown), became the torturer of all beauty, the enemy of the universal Mother, the cancer of the planet.” Thus, in a world utterly given over to American hedonistic capitalism and Soviet anthropocentric tyranny, she could see nothing to do but:

. . .to aid all beautiful minorities attacked by the agents of chaos; to resist, even if that should delay only a few decades the disappearance of the last aristocrats among men, animals, or trees. There is nothing else that one can do, if not, perhaps, to curse in one’s heart, day and night, today’s humanity (apart from very rare exceptions), and to work with all one’s efforts for its destruction.

It is worth noting that, despite their obvious differences from the humanist Left, these ostensibly misanthropic ecofascists are not typically motivated by hatred, but by love. This includes a love of wild spaces, nonhuman animals, and even certain human types that can only thrive in a world that has not been utterly subjugated to the needs of neoliberal globalism, with all of nature transformed into a mere standing reserve for human use.

Ecofascism and COVID-19

Are these comments applauding the environmental benefits of COVID-19, then, a kind of resurgent ecofascism? The Left certainly thinks so. Nevertheless, these commenters are mistaken in their enthusiastic appraisal of this pandemic. Though it is objectively true that this brief lull in human economic activity has had a few short-term benefits, there are several problems with regarding the present crisis as a positive ecological development, from both a pragmatic and an ideological perspective.

Leaving aside the ethical question of whether or not massive amounts of suffering should ever be applauded (we are dealing with misanthropes, here), any positive ecological benefits from the global lockdown will almost certainly be negated during the recovery period. The emissions in China have already returned to pre-lockdown levels since the country reopened in late March. Following the 2008 recession and a similar dip in atmospheric pollution, the level of global emissions actually shot up five percent due to stimulus spending that boosted fossil fuel use. In the scramble for economic recovery, it is certain that environmental considerations will fall by the wayside.

The line of thinking — which praises any war, famine, or plague that reduces human population as a net positive for the natural world — was ably critiqued by Pentti Linkola himself:

“War is followed by a frantic period of rebuilding, which enlivens and inspires technological advancement and raging investments, so that economies leap forward. Along with business, the most destructive forms of human recreation like tourism, vacation-home building and harmful sports also come to a halt in wartime. In the aftermath of war, however, the population will frenziedly ‘make up for the losses’” [6].

In addition to this pragmatic objection, there is an ideological one. Namely, what I have called Ur-Ecofascism is so vaguely defined that its principles can actually be held by individuals of vastly different political orientations: reactionary traditionalists like Thomas Malthus; turn-of-the-century Progressives like Madison Grant and Theodore Roosevelt; National Socialists like Savitri Devi and Heidegger; latter-day authoritarians like Pentti Linkola; conservatives like Garrett Hardin; anarcho-tribalists like the early Earth First! crew; and leftist vegan anarchists like the Animal Liberation Front saboteurs. Moreover, “ecofascism” has such a pejorative ring that its use outside of hostile polemic is unadvisable.

Thus, it is necessary to move away from this depiction of Ur-Ecofascism, which is (like Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism) defined by its enemies. From our perspective — traditionalist, ethnonationalist, defiantly reactionary — what does the ideal human relationship with the natural world look like? We seek to keep human population at manageable levels, but value preservation of distinct racial types rather than suicidal extinction. We wish to maintain large tracts of wildlands for their own sake and for our posterity, but also want to preserve the cities that exist as lasting monuments to our cultures. We wish to refrain from wasting natural resources, but recognize the need for military and economic strength in order to avoid our conquest by less scrupulous powers. We want to live in accordance with natural law, but aspire to understand the cosmos and explore the stars. We desire a form of government that is sufficiently strong to address complex 21st-century problems, while still retaining a high degree of individual freedoms. We love wild nature, but we love our gods, our people, and our honor too.

Seen from this perspective, then, is there still a silver lining to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown? As it happens, yes. It highlights the absurdity of our present way of life, as well as the necessary linkages between man and nature, and it provides an opening for our ideas to receive broader currency.

Climate Change and the Real Ecological Crisis

The COVID-19 pandemic has called attention to the greatest environmental threats facing the world: anthropogenic pollution and the destruction of wildlands.

These issues have gotten short shrift in recent years due to the hegemony of climate change discourse. I will not debate the reality or desirability of anthropogenic climate change, as I am neither a climatologist nor a sophist. I will simply make the following observations:

For one, it may be the case that anthropogenic climate change is simply not occurring as thought, or at least does not pose the kind of threat currently assumed. If one hitches one’s environmental politics entirely to this horse, this opens him up to being wholly discredited by a change in the facts. This is what happened to those like Paul Ehrlich, whose inaccurate predictions of resource scares in the 1970s ultimately undermined his more substantive arguments concerning population growth.

You can buy Savitri Devi’s The Lightning and the Sun here.

More importantly, by positing something like global warming as the chief ecological threat facing the world, it is implied that if the necessary technology were invented to solve it, humanity would be able to go about our lives much as we always have, free of any major systemic changes. However, solving the threat of global warming through better technology or energy efficiency will not get at the root of the problem: the contravention of the natural order, excessive multiplication of humanity, the technologization of the Earth, and transformation of natural beauty into slums and parking lots.

Additionally, focusing on greenhouse gas emissions instead of matters like biodiversity and wilderness preservation effectively shifts the blame for environmental degradation entirely to Western nations. It conveniently masks the numerous ecological sins committed by the oppressed peoples of the world — poaching, deforestation, excessive reproduction — and therefore serves the third-worldist narrative that holds white Europeans culpable for all of the world’s ills.

So, while the climate change debate is highly politicized and mired in corruption and intangibility, the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted focus to two more concrete aspects of ecological degradation. One of these is air and water pollution. Aside from greenhouse gases, which are about the only things that get mentioned these days, more immediately lethal forms of industrial waste can poison soils and waterways, kill plants and animals, and cause chronic diseases in humans. During the lockdowns, the cessation of industrial activity led to a significant temporary reduction in atmospheric pollution, leading some experts to conclude that the lockdown saved more lives due to pollution reduction than were actually threatened by the virus itself. Moreover, given the link between air pollution and respiratory illness, studies found that greater exposure to air pollution led to weakened immune and respiratory systems, and was therefore correlated with higher mortality from coronavirus infections.

An additional lesson of the COVID-19 outbreak that the world will hopefully heed is the danger of rampant habitat destruction and illegal animal trades. Deforestation for agricultural and mining purposes is the largest cause of habitat loss worldwide, and forces wild animals to migrate outside of their ecosystem and come into contact with other animals or humans they normally wouldn’t interact with. This creates an opportunity for pathogens to get into new hosts.

COVID-19 is believed to have spread from a species of horseshoe bat to other animals in a live animal market in Wuhan, which facilitated its spread to humans. Other epidemics have followed a similar trajectory: The SARS epidemic in 2003 came from civet cats, MERS in 2012 from camels; avian influenza, Nipah virus, Ebola, and HIV all originated in animals and were transmitted to humans. According to Dr. Seth Berkley, “Deforestation and the sale of live wild animals or bushmeat, such as bats and monkeys, make the emergence of new viruses inevitable, while population growth, dense urbanization, and human migration make their spread easier.”

Thus, while concerns about habitat conservation and endangered species are often considered quite frivolous and elitist even within the realm of environmental politics itself, this virus illustrates the essential links between pollution, habitat destruction, and human health. This is significant not solely from the environmentalists’ perspective, but that of any Rightist or ethnonationalist who cares for the wellbeing of his people and national heritage, as well as the integrity of wild nature.

Open Borders and Immigration

Panic over the outbreak has also generated strong support for travel bans, border controls, and immigration restrictions among politicians and the populace, which runs counter to the open borders propaganda of the Left. COVID-19 did what three years of Congressional haggling could not: in March, President Trump signed an executive order closing the southern border to stop the spread of the virus from possibly infected illegal immigrants. The State Department suspended the admission of refugees for three weeks. Thousands of migrants were turned away at the southern border. Illegal crossings slowed to a trickle throughout March and April, and those who crossed over were expelled back to Mexico in an average of 96 minutes after being caught. More than eighty countries instituted travel restrictions, particularly from Italy or China. The high levels of unemployment due to the coronavirus lockdown has led several politicians to demand a moratorium on all forms of immigration, while so many native Americans are out of work. And on April 20th, President Trump signed an order temporarily suspending all immigration into the United States.

Of course, the Left has harshly condemned these measures as expressions of “racism” and “xenophobia” that will ultimately prove “worse than the disease.” Out of their pathological fear of these buzzwords, politicians throughout the West delayed taking the most obvious steps to contain the virus — stopping all travel in and out of their countries, and quarantining any citizens re-entering from abroad. Their virtue-signaling cost thousands of lives.

This pandemic has illustrated that the distinction between the countryman and the foreigner is not purely irrational, that suspicion of the outsider is sometimes justified, that people are different and in-group preferences are real and legitimate, and that the primary purpose of a government is to protect its people from enemies foreign and domestic. And if we needed any further illustrations, this egregious dereliction of duty will hopefully convince a sufficient number of Americans that their politicians, academics, and media are utterly illegitimate and comprise, for all intents and purposes, an occupation government.

The Right has always understood the need for borders. They preserve wholesome cultural, racial, and ethnic distinctions; they defend those within from the lawlessness without; they are the guarantors of territorial sovereignty. In times of crisis, of war, of famine and plague, borders become especially significant. The leftist will, of course, tell us that, to the contrary, such crises illustrate the need for globalism and international cooperation above all else. However, while international cooperation is a fine thing, historically speaking it is the exception rather than the rule. A state is the last line of defense to protect its own people.

The environmental dimensions of the immigration debate are less well-known. The link between wilderness preservation and nativism was established by Madison Grant in the 1920s, but disappeared in the latter half of the 20th century. This is because, since the 1970s, the environmental movement has been almost completely dominated by leftists who have pushed this question to the wayside for purely ideological reasons.

There have been some exceptions. As in other respects, the early Earth First! ecowarriors were one of the few groups to broach the subject. Alongside increased local pressures on fragile ecosystems through population growth, pollution, and urban sprawl, ecowarriors argued that immigrants to the United States will seek to gain a higher standard of living, thereby increasing their ecological impact [7]. As Paul Watson warned, “The cost of immigration is massive sprawl, damming up every river and using every square foot of land to feed more and more people in the materially comforting style that they expect to enjoy in this most materialistic of nations” [8].

In addition, while the birthrate of native-born Americans has leveled off since the middle of the twentieth century, immigration levels have been at a historic high since the 1960s, and immigration is now the main driver of U.S. population growth [9]. Support for continued high levels of immigration means support for continued U.S. population growth, and all the ecological ills that come with it.

Limitation of immigration, both legal and illegal, is therefore essential in terms of territorial integrity, cultural preservation, public health, and environmental protection. In this respect, again, rightist nationalism and environmentalism necessarily go hand-in-hand.

The New World Order

The pandemic and the global lockdown have illustrated, in a very visceral way, the failures of the present Western political order. Our ostensibly liberal, democratic, internationalist, techno-capitalist End of History state has shown itself to be woefully inadequate for handling questions of great import. Greg Johnson already brought up many of these points early in the crisis, which I’ll merely summarize and elaborate upon:

Democracy encourages politicians merely to think ahead to the next election, and prevents them from taking a long-term view or making unpopular decisions. This results in a schizophrenic national policy, where primary objectives are reversed (in the United States) every four years. In this case, it prevented the rapid travel bans and border closures due to Republican fears of economic apocalypse and Democratic denunciations of racism. Ultimately, rather than closing the borders and instituting rigorous quarantines, leaving the country largely functional, the Establishment waited until the disease had already metastasized and adopted measures that will hamper the national economy for years. This failure to deal with complex or future problems also affects e

nvironmental policy and overall national strategy.

Free Trade has led to the outsourcing of vital industries — including pharmaceutical products —  to China, rendering us utterly at their mercy in the event of hostilities. Even with the vast sums of money proffered by the government, this extended lockdown will certainly lead to the bankruptcy of countless businesses in our frivolous service-based economy, and due to outsourcing, we will have little left to replace them. The oligarchs’ need for slave labor will guarantee that, once the crisis is over, more serfs will be imported from south of the border in order to displace American workers.

Liberal Individualism valorizes selfishness and social atomization, rather than the communal ethos necessary for peoples and nations to survive in a time of crisis. Liberalism’s implosion was only forestalled in the West due to our centuries-old civic culture, which valued responsibility and community spirit; it has never been successfully exported, and that cultural capital has been steadily eroded over the last two hundred years. All of the steps taken to prevent the virus’s spread and limit its social impact were in spite of, not in accordance with, the pieties of liberal democracy. Worldwide, the virus has been seen as a justification for authoritarian measures and played into the hands of aspiring autocrats, causing much pearl-clutching among our virtuous intelligentsia.

Neoliberalism has also proven, yet again, its incompatibility with the real world. The recent bipartisan relief package signed by Congress has approved of government interference in the market in a number of ways: direct payments to families and businesses; forcing private banks to make emergency loans; mandated limitations on executive pay; grants to hospitals in order to pay for the uninsured (a step towards “Medicare for All”); temporarily banning foreclosures and evictions; requiring employers to offer paid sick leave; and forcing one private corporation to increase production of ventilators.

In short, this pandemic and lockdown have shown the bankruptcy of the contemporary world order and the superiority of nationalism, authoritarianism, autarchy, communitarianism, and socialism (“national socialism,” if you will) in securing people’s wellbeing in times of crisis.

This lack of a long-term view, as well as its purely materialistic focus, is also the reason why the contemporary order is wholly incapable of addressing ecological degradation. This is yet another instance in which the goals of nationalism and right-wing ecology overlap.

Springtime for Traditional Values

This is more subjective and hard to quantify (and I doubt we’ll be seeing empirical studies on the subject anytime soon). However, based on my own observations and those of other writers, this lockdown has reawakened the social values of a bygone era.

Many people are doing their jobs from home, allowing them to perform a typical day’s work in half the time (showcasing the absurdity of our commuter-based, forty-hour week wage-slavery). Children have been granted a temporary reprieve from their daily prison sentences, and are not being forced to remain seated for eight hours and mentally poisoned by axe-grinding leftist schoolteachers. Since all schooling is at home now, parents actually are getting some insight into their child’s educational curriculum, and hopefully adding their own commentary. College students have likewise returned home, freeing them temporarily from the degeneracy and indoctrination of the higher education citadels.

Due to quarantines, families are spending more time together. Around my own neighborhood, I see couples walking dogs, children riding bikes and playing in their front yards, families planting flowers and painting houses and engaged in other home improvement projects. The hiking trails around my city are busier, since all the venues for more degenerate amusements — movie theaters, shopping malls, nightclubs, bars — are closed. I imagine that Tinder, Grindr, Ashley Madison, and all the other facilitators of fornication and adultery have experienced a lull. With restaurants shut down, people are actually cooking at home, eating meals together, and not supporting multinational corporations that feed us poison. Grocery store warfare excepted, a modicum of social decorum has returned. People are generally more serious and keep their distance from each other in public. And like one fellow Counter-Currents writer, I too would like to see our American obsession with glad-handing and back-slapping replaced by formal bows and Roman salutes.

Of course, all of this has a dark side, as it is dependent upon widespread economic collapse. Doubtless, many people are responding to the quarantine in less wholesome ways, by increased substance abuse and binging on television, and many are indubitably eager to return to their degenerate lifestyles. However, this experience does show that much of what we have resigned ourselves to as inescapable features of modern life are in fact absurd, wasteful, and needlessly soul-crushing — and that it does not have to be that way. This is a realization that is critical for the traditionalist Right, as well as the right-wing ecologist.

The Green Volksgemeinschaft

All of these aforementioned gains from the COVID-19 outbreak are, of course, extremely tenuous. High levels of pollution have already started to return in countries where the lockdowns have been lifted. Any renewed awareness of the dangers of deforestation and illegal animal trades will disappear in the scramble to restore the global economy. The lull in U.S. immigration will likely be reversed as the country is reopened and ailing businesses seek cheap labor, even at the cost of further immiserating the American working class. Governments will undoubtedly retain their tighter grip on national economies, but it will be to the benefit of their corporate sponsors, not the people. And in a few months’ time, people could be going back to schools and work, binge drinking in bars, and remember this surreal return to the 1950s as nothing more than an extended nation-wide Spring Break.

All of this could be forgotten — if we allow it to be. This crisis has shown the hollowness at the core of the present system, and as the Dissident Right, it is our duty to push what is falling. This is an opportunity to show that we can have a more fulfilled population, cleaner air and water, thriving ecosystems, distinct cultures, national sovereignty, and a government that exists to serve its people — and not at the cost of some natural disaster, but by our own choice and political will.

And, rather than merely ignoring the “ecofascist” label that will inevitably be foisted upon us, we can respond that unlike our enemies, we are the true defenders of freedom, truth, purity, nobility, and all that is fair on this good Earth.

    Writing today in the Guardian, commentator Zoe Williams has drawn exactly the opposite conclusion. The crisis, she writes, has exposed the moral and monetary bankruptcy of conservatism, populism and isolationism.

    Indeed we in Britain now have the incalculable blessing of immigration paraded daily before our eyes. Hospitals have become our cathedrals and a paradigm shift has occurred — in the teeth of the bizarre, sixth-form language of the tory and populist naysayers (irony unintentional).

    This rhetoric is of a piece with the communal ovation of the National Health Service that now takes place every Thursday evening. It is an expression an emerging religion(*) in which the Articles of Faith are the NHS, The Windrush Immigrants and British ‘Toleration’, the elect are the public-sector ‘Key Workers’ and the damned are the Tories, the Brexiters — and of course Donald Trump.

    Critical thinking has been abandoned and as the economic shock triggered by the cessation of productive activity supervenes , the millenarian hysteria and social chaos can only mount. Heaven help us.

      Zoe Williams like Cas Mudde’s article yesterday in the same red-rag criticizing the ‘Tea Party’ -like protesters against lock-down (his words not mine) are living on another planet (don’t I wish!). The narrative is being turned upside down – facts no longer matter – they are attacking anything/anyone arguing for border controls and an end to mass movements of people (coronavirus or not) – I wonder why? I wonder who oversees editorial lines at The Guardian? irresponsible journalism is a hallmark of this pandemic and the religion of multicultural blending is over-riding the health and well being of real people. This is a VERY revealing moment and what has in the past been ‘obscured’ or ‘brushed over’ is now on full display. And it is ugly – very ugly and very evil.

            You’re one that wants to advocate for making a component of the Krebs cycle as toxin. My remarks were not for ‘political expediency’ but because climate hysteria is a dangerous cult masquerading as a serious enterprise to help the world. While you kooks are raging (or in your case smug-ing) about CO2 in the West the rest of the world is throwing particulate matter into the air like there’s no tomorrow. ’30 seconds of Googling’ is just going to give you the tech-oligarchy’s take on ‘climate denialism’ as well as ‘climate change’. The reason you know your enterprise is a complete line of bull is that (a) your people keep changing the goal posts and (b) keep changing what your enterprise is about. 30 years ago, the same people who are selling ‘global warming’ a few years ago were selling ‘a new ice age’. It’s a con designed to give the technocrats of the world nice, cushy jobs bossing everyone else around while they live in luxury.

            So called “climate change” remains wholly unproven, which is why academic “denialists” sometimes face death threats from eco-antifa. Climate change, which used to be “global warming” until everyone noticed that all the ‘warmist’ models from 20-30 years ago were wildly off in their 21st century predictions, is nothing less than an attempt to communize our economy, transfer white wealth to the Third World, and confiscate muh, no, MY American liberty. Don’t be brainwashed.

      I do not recall endorsing the idea that it was necessary to “limit technology.” Of course any sensible person should agree that certain forms of particular destructive technology must be limited or outright prohibited. But, that being said, you are correct; it is not possible (and probably not desirable) to return to a more primitive condition of existence. High technology will be necessary to enable us to retain a level of civilization while limiting our destructive impact upon the biosphere and defend ourselves against less scrupulous powers.

    Ecofascism, Earth-Firstism, Anarcho-Primitivism and Impeaching “the Man”, all share that non-scientific, emotional, intellectually mediocre reasoning and engage in all sorts of mental acrobatics to explain the basic dynamism of human and material relations. As such, they dissipate at the first breeze of actual social reality, which derives from the fundamental law of life that all living creatures are self-serving. On a positive note, they do introduce the concept of “values” when discussing environmental issues, and in this sense, it seems evident that values inform individual actions regarding the treatment of the habitat (with this expression I want to banish the idiosyncrasy-prone word “nature”). Some people are like locusts, others like bees, most somewhere in between.

    Anarcho-Primitivism in particular, seems to be the typical product of that Nordico-German maladaptation to certain experiences of life (for example, cross-cultural contact), in that it restates that worn out school-teacher’s “All shall abide by the rules!” imperative with no other than a pedagogic purpose, meaning that all of its core principles, its very substance, such as “everyone should live in tribes of no more than 200 people, everything else is degenerate and CIV!”, depends on everyone obeying an unwritten moral agreement, even though at the same time they fiercely insist that peoples are different and impossible to reconcile. Of course, they simply shrug off the suggestion that “nature” already many times in the past provided other existential possibilities as a counter-point to theirs, for example, a Mongol invasion, or Caesar’s legions, and the result was tribal assess being brought to the slave market. To this, Anarcho-Primitivism responds “they didn’t play by the rules, hence degeneracy! all back to 200 people tribes!” Well, some people also say that the last time we didn’t have real Communism, and that we must try again.

    Excellent article!

    The essential eco-fascist argument occurred to me some time ago in responding to a friend who complained of “overpopulation.” I pointed out to him that if we begin with the acknowledgment that the neutral, or replacement rate of fertility was 2.1, then Europe and the United States were already below it – we were achieving less than zero population growth, and have been for some time. If we are concerned about overpopulation, the places we should be concerned about were in sub-Saharan Africa, beginning with Niger, which has a fertility rate of 7.2. All the countries with fertility rates of 5 or above were in sub-Saharan Africa or Melanesia.

    My friend didn’t accuse me of being a racist or a fascist, but the subject was quickly changed.

    “social atomization”

    I see this word mentioned occasionally but it is never quite clear to me it is supposed to convey. What does it mean?

    I cringe and eye roll when someone unironically uses words like degeneracy, fornication and adultery, social decorum etc. I despise this conservative (and maybe christian) version of the far right. Instead of trying to increase their power in politics they ramble about these silly and unimportant issues. I like the types who are more active and fun and adventurous. The more Nietzschean types, the early Blackshirts and Futurists. People like D’Annunzio. But they are lacking today from the real world, the same energy is used for memes and trolling nowadays. Instead the main voice seems to be people like the complaining old lady types that take their energy from a total bore like Evola and the Catholic Church.

      Evola, the part-time Futurist/Dadaist who engaged in sex magick rituals, took his ethics almost entirely and explicitly from Nietzsche, spoke favorably of Crowley and Gurdjieff, and constantly ridiculed the bourgeois moralism of the Catholic Church, is a boring old lady Catholic type to you?

    Typical Nazi/WN drivel: making the world “safe for Nature” and for the “Aryan Master Race”…by gleefully hoping to slaughter millions or even billions of “racially undesirable people”, all over the Earth!… A brand new “Generalplan Ost” or “Hungerplan” on steroids. Well, what else can you expect from evil Nazi psychopaths of the Pentti Linkola or “Savitri Devi” variety??! Thank God a thousand times, for having given me the Spirit, Humanity and Common Sense, to leave this evil, inhuman and satanic “Movement” of yours!…

    Thank you for this excellent article. I’ve been a militant eco-semi-fascist my whole life. I still recall being accused when I was a smallish boy back in the late 60s of “caring more about [preserving] wild animals than [Third World] people”. I think one’s ideological politics are mostly genetically determined, and that there is a constellation of genes or sets of such constellations which lead people to certain mutually reinforcing positions. It’s just natural that one who instinctively mistrusts and usually dislikes nonwhites, esp in or as groups (I have had some cordial, though rarely ever close, relations with nonwhite individuals), should also, if white, passionately support not only Third World population control, but also ecological preservation. These traits seem to run together.

    A long time ago when I was active in Reagan Republican politics and kept my hard racialism to myself, people always thought it odd that I was environmentalist (I still am, though I reject climate change activism as leftist garbage and powermongering – even if true, about which I’m sceptical). I also disliked more and shoddier consumer junk at the expense of fewer and finer crafted goods with longer use-lifes.

    Still, I must ask, why “eco-FASCISM”? I thought the following list of eco-fascist attitudes was perfect:

    Any focus on stabilizing human population growth in the Third World;
    Any suggestion that immigration and open borders have negative environmental effects;
    Any criticism of the human race in terms of its ecological impact (namely because this fails to differentiate between oppressive white patriarchs and victimized peoples of color);
    Any criticism of poor ecological practices by non-Westerners, such as poaching, deforestation, and excessive reproduction
    Any condemnation of individualism, democracy, or liberalism for their inability to resolve key environmental issues; and
    Any suggestion that there is a natural order or hierarchy which mankind ought to model itself upon and respect.

    But what exactly is “fascist” about those propositions? I see nothing that a good (authentic or non-neoliberal) conservative could not support. (I think C-C authors need to bear in mind that Reaganism is not synonymous with conservatism, though there is some overlap, esp in the American context.)

    My understanding of “eco-fascism” is that it goes a good deal beyond that anodyne list, asserting that for the white race or even the planet to flourish, nonwhites will have to be, at a minimum, forcibly removed from Europe (as they should be anyway, quite apart from ecological concerns), though even this could be understood as merely (authentically) conservative. True eco-fascism would seem to be either coercively nonwhite population passive-reductionist (eg, paying or forcing nonwhites to limit fertility levels), or outright exterminationist in the manner of Pentti Linkola (but with the crucial qualification viz the latter that it is nonwhites who must be eliminated; Linkola seemed not to care which humans exactly got ‘reduced’, as long as there were less of them) .

    I am not an eco-fascist or eco-exterminationist myself, but I do think the West should invest large amounts of money in serious population control campaigns in the Third World, which would be good for their just interests in improving per capita quality of life, as well as good for us and the planet. Optimally, I have always since a kid supported measures to increase the number of whites, and peacefully decrease the number of nonwhites, worldwide. Indeed, I think Third World population reduction should be at the top of the foreign policy agenda of every Western nation.

      You’re right. Population reduction in retarded-IQ, perpetually desperate Third World countries is needed for any kind of civilization survival. The only alternative is mass invasion and replacement by primitives. Conventional politics is by comparison irrelevant, including dissident conservatism.

      I’m not terribly hopeful given the feeble response so far of so-called leaders and intellectuals. Most, if anything, seem to cheer overpopulation (at least for non-whites who can be weaponized against traditional Western society). But we still have to fight the good fight — it’s all that remains to us.
