all my homies hate eco-fascists

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. Double checked the rules and it doesn’t look like I’m violating any, but please point me in the right direction if there’s a better place for my questions. I genuinely am unclear and want to learn.

In this context, what are eco-facsists? And then how does that and Malthusian Population Theory inherently relate to Capitalism?

When I imagine Malthusian Population issues, I normally think of it as a left-wing / anticapitalist talking point. Assuming I’m missing the mark on that, what’s the Socialist proposed solution and/or explanation or why that’s not an issue? (Racked my brain for a better wording for that last sentence, but couldn’t think of one on the fly. Please pardon my ignorance if there’s a different phrasing I should have used).

An eco fascists accepts these two premises:

The current consumption patterns of humans, especially in the first world, are unsustainable in regards to meat, travel via cars, home sizes for heating and cooling, etc.

Any reduction in that consumption will be extremely unpopular and thus politically impossible under any democratic regime.

Therefore to achieve sustainability and save the planet and countless human lives we will need a top down authoritarian government to force the populace into sustainability similar to how fascists would force there populace to war despite its inherent unpopularity.
