What eco fascists are capitalist? Any real attempt at degrowth and ecofascism would be fought tooth and nail by liberals and capitalists. This isn’t like old fascism where the goal is war that is very amenable to capital that can profit off the increased consumption by the state. Degrowth requires a reduction in production and consumption which is a direct threat to capitalist profit motive.
It would also be a direct threat to a socialist regime that draws its legitimacy from increased living standards and consumption, which is what most do. If you liquidate all the capitalist and redistribute all the money that’s not gonna help climate change if all the workers go and spend that money on f-150s and steak.
I read eco-fascist as someone that can’t change their habits, so will double down on the destructive habits for the environment, not someone that fights to reduce the impact of climate change through actions against capitalism.

Eco-fasch:
Climate change is real, but if we just exterminate enough of the brutes, we won’t have to stop building new coal plants to power the entropy machine!
