'''Eco-Fascism''', often referred to by the abbreviation '''EcoFash''', is an economically ambivalent, culturally traditionalist, nationalist and fascist ideology that advocates for the preservation of the environment, natural resources and cultural traditions for the benefit of its native human population. Eco-fascists adhere to the [[File: Deepe.png]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_ecology deep ecological] principle of humanity being interconnected with nature, with a distinct focus on the synergy between a human population and its ancestral land. Eco-fascism opposes the globalist, liberal and progressive attitudes of modern ecological movements, preferring insular, traditional and agrarian societies. Due to the prevalence of European paganism and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_and_soil blood and soil doctrine] among eco-fascists, eco-fascist thought shares significant overlap with [[File: Esofash.png]] [[Esoteric Fascism|esoteric fascism]].

In common parlance, the term ''eco-fascist'' is a pejorative term used by mainstream progressives to refer to ecological movements accused of supporting social conservatism or eugenic principles.<ref>Orton, David (2000).

==History==
Ecological thought first appeared in Germany in the early 19th century, when [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Moritz_Arndt Ernst Moritz Arndt] published ''On the Care and Conservation of Forests'', an article criticizing the nascent Industrial Revolution for its rampant deforestation and damage towards the environment. Arndt was also a staunch German nationalist, who opposed miscegenation and other forms of genetic impurity, alongside often reinforcing the idea of an intrinsic interconnection between the German land and its people in his essays. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Heinrich_Riehl Wilhelm Heinreich Riehl], a student of Arndt, combined his ideas with pro-agrarian and anti-modernist sentiment, forming the basis of eco-fascist thought.

These beliefs carried into the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%B6lkisch_movement ''Völkisch'' movement] of the late 19th century, which advocated for a return to agrarian civilization and stood as the bedrock for the cultural and biological beliefs of [[File: Nazi.png]] [[National Socialism|National Socialism]]. National Socialists rejected the anthropocentric view of ecology and ascertained that human society was subservient to the laws of nature, rather than the other way around. A strong government and rigid social order would be required to maintain this delicate balance between human expansion and nature. The slogan and doctrine of ''blood and soil'', which established a firm link between cultural flourishment, environmental conservation and racial purity, was popularized by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Walther_Darr%C3%A9 Richard Walther Darré]. Non-German fascist movements otherwise generally overlooked ecology, with the exception of the [[File:Legion.png]] [[Legionarism|Romanian Iron Guard]], which opposed capitalism for, among other things, its destruction of the Romanian countryside.

In his 1930 book ''A New Nobility of Blood and Soil'', Darré suggested the selective breeding of humans as a solution to genetic impurity (and consequently, environmental damage). Eugenicist ideas remain common in modern eco-fascist movements, such as those of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentti_Linkola Pentti Linkola], who argues for eugenics, abortion and potential genocide as a means to curb the global human population in his book ''Can Life Prevail?''. Large-scale eco-fascist movements are not observed today, although small online communities, such as [https://4chan-parliament.fandom.com/wiki/Ecofascism_Party 4chan's simulated Ecofascist Party] (from which the Eco-Fascism flag is derived), continue to promote and discuss the ideology.

==Personality and Behavior==
Eco-Fascism appears in comics as a haughty, reactionary and occasionally aggressive ideology, often in humorous contrast to the progressive mainstream ecological movement. When portrayed alongside fascists, Eco-Fascism is often observed indulging in esotericism and berating his less-ecologically inclined (or less racially fanatic) brethren.

===Stylistic notes===
Eco-Fascism adheres to Nordic paganism, resulting in frequent references to Viking culture, pagan deities and folklore in his speech and design.
