Eco-fascist and accelerationist movements view violence as a means of manifesting and hastening societal collapse; however, it does not necessarily matter to these movements who is committing this violence or for what reasons, so long as it has a potentially destabilizing effect.
Simply summarized, eco-fascism is an ideological strain of the modern far-right which presupposes not only that climate change and environmental degradation are among the most pressing issues facing Western civilization, but also that such issues can effectively be countered or solved via the creation and implementation of a fascistic, White Supremacist state. Eco-fascists are typically reverent of nature. They see modern society—Western, liberal, consumerist, multicultural society in particular—as not only incapable of preserving or protecting “blood and soil” (both literally and metaphorically) but as an active agent in their destruction that must therefore be resisted with violence.
