If you think the earth is dying because poor people are having too many babies, that's about three logical steps away from ecofascism.

      Yes but all consumption we currently understand is based on a society which has no major renewable resource use and development.

      In an equitable socialist society not only will this be all renewable, but consumption in general will be completely overhauled since capitalism currently has vested interest in shaping our (over)consumption.

          Which is why eco-fascism is so dangerous. It does address the problems but without the Marxist analysis of the problem and synthesis of the solution it will simply never be capable of fixing the actual underlying issue. Talking in terms of “if everybody lived with an American quality of life...” is a useful thought experiment to gauge our current overconsumption, but irrelevant when gauging quality of life under a socialist system in which modes of production, labor, distribution, etc are completely different despite maybe having a similar quality of life
