30^th March 2019 an article by Beth Collier.co.uk ‘Eco-Fascism makes itself known in New Zealand . Refers to Tarrants Manifesto as He posted a manifesto online proclaiming himself as “just an ordinary white man,” an “Ethno Nationalist” and “Eco-Fascist”  This article point out Beth Colliers interest in Tarrant relating to ‘Eco fascism’ and explicit attitudes that she had seen in people before that are involved in the environmental and outdoor field. Many she said whom manifest racism in the idealism about nature, land, purity. Political left wing environmentalist who are authoritarian or willing to use violence for their cause but is now more commonly used to describe a ‘far right ideology’.  She refers to the Nazi Aryans and Eco Fascists the necessity to save the planet. That some people must be forcibly removed. The left- liberal views about nature allows them to hide in plain site within nature based groups. She refers in her article as ‘Tarrants attack is the first mass killing in the cause of eco fascism and chauvinism

The Nazi Party immersed their propaganda in idealised imagery of the slogan ‘Blood and Soil’ that people needed a protected area in which to live their utopia, free from what they called imperfections. For the national socialists a rural lifestyle was superior to the immorality and ‘race chaos’ of the city contrasted between Germans and Jews. The World Wild Life Fund (WWF) was founded by a former Nazi Party member, who persistently pursued policies which demonise and marginalise local communities in Africa, Asia and the America forcing people from their ancestral lands.

In the 1970’s, John Tanton, the head of the Sierra Club’s National Population Committee advocated eugenics and organized an anti-immigration movement, concerned with overpopulation on environmental grounds. This dynamic is likely to intensify as climate change creates new stresses that could pit nations and groups against one another. he pressures of a warming planet are new, the deployment of environmental language for racist, nativist and nationalistic ends has a long, dark history. Before environmentalism became a mainstream and progressive cause in the 1970s, many American conservationists were also white supremacists, who argued that those they saw as outsiders threatened the nation’s landscape or lacked the values to care for it properly. Such thinking was common in Europe, too. The Nazis embraced notions of a symbiotic connection between the German homeland and its people

Climate change around the world: In “Postcards From a World on Fire,” 193 stories from individual countries show how climate change is reshaping reality everywhere, from dying coral reefs in Fiji to disappearing oases in Morocco and far, far beyond. The neo-Nazi group Northwest Front, which advocates expelling people of color from the Pacific Northwest, appropriated a flag designed by a left-wing activist, reframing it with the slogan “The sky is the blue, and the land is the green. The white is for the people in between accept the reality of global warming and view it “through the prism of white nationalism. And the solution then becomes the exclusion of immigrants, people of color, the so-called ‘Third World,’ ” said John Hultgren, a faculty member at Bennington College and author of “Border Walls Gone Green: Nature and Anti-immigrant Politics in America.” Some radicals are drawn to apocalyptic climate scenarios, seeing openings for authoritarianism or a complete societal breakdown. “They want to accelerate it,” said Blair Taylor, program director at the Institute for Social Ecology, a left-wing educational centre, who has studied such groups. “So after the downfall they can set up their fascist ethno-states, they can be the Übermensch.” Violent actors are grabbing hold of such ideas. The killers accused of targeting Muslims and Mexican immigrants last year in New Zealand and Texas posted online manifestoes weaving white supremacy with environmental statements.

The Australian man who allegedly murdered 51 people at two Christchurch mosques called himself an “ethnonationalist eco-fascist” and wrote that “continued immigration into Europe is environmental warfare.” The suspect in the El Paso shooting that killed 22 — modern America’s deadliest attack targeting Latinos — ranted about plastic waste and overconsumption. “If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can become more sustainable,” he concluded.

The tenants of Liberalism and the rise of white supremacy ‘Nationalistic Eco Fascism’ Where the extremely far Right meet the extremely far left.  The deeply ugly pairing of eco fascist forces.  Messages, images of climate doom and gloom creates massive stresses that pit nations and groups against one another. The neo-Nazi group Northwest Front, which advocates expelling people of colour from the Pacific Northwest, appropriated a flag designed by a left-wing activist, reframing it with the slogan “The sky is the blue, and the land is the green. The white is for the people in between.” Lenin stressed the need for a violent revolution to bring communists to power. He developed specific strategies and tactics for bringing about such revolutions. Lenin also argued that communist governments should not tolerate political opposition. Leninism is often used combined with other terms. Marxism-Leninism means the same thing as Leninism. Leninism-Stalinism means Lenin’s doctrines as interpreted and modified by Josef Stalin. Marx advocated a communist economic system. Eco Socialism taking control of the means of production. As Tarrant self described himself an eco fascist
