often, they ignore the top heavy causes of climate change. i can elaborate now but i need to go to the store

okay. so. ecofascism ignores, or is ignorant of, the role that indigenous people played maintaining ecosystems and the overall climate of this world. they frame the tragedy of the commons as that a commonly shared resource will be overutilized by the community leading to the degredation and loss of that resource. given this, they believe that a top level force is required to protect that resource.
the flaw with this framing is that anthropologically, there is no evidence that the tragedy of the commons works this way. we have much more evidence of an ownership class overexploiting a resource than we do collaborative communities. the people, left to their own devices, will largely find solutions that will best fit all their needs, where as an ecofascist route will generally only allow the person commanding the economy to assess needs and they will do so with their set of biases and blindspots, leading to things like the famines of the 5 year plans and the great leap forward

Rich people are a bigger strain on the land. Get rid of them first.
