"naturalism"?

It's in quotes, so it's probably not referring to scientific methodological naturalism, or philosophical naturalism. Anybody have a guess what they are referring to in terms of a relationship to fascism?

    I took it as a bastardization of the "return to nature" sort of movement. It's in quotes because a type of naturalism can be very positive getting in touch with nature, conservationism etc. But the fascist version is worshipping colonialist sort of "homesteading" aesthetics and the patriarchal rugged explorer type that encourages hyper individualism and anti-social behavior.
