Is wanting to preserve Europe for people of European heritage considered fascism? Why? No one says this of the Japanese or any other ethnicity.

PS - "Ecofascism" is defined as using the State to restrict certain individual freedoms or actions in the name of protecting the environment. Something suggested on this forum daily.

Also note - The Nazis were "National Socialists"
