From what I see, this was the maximally flame-y way to say what you said, and it's still inaccurate to call it "Not so kooky" as these commandments, while disagreeable to me, are not really that violent.

1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. 2. Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity. 3. Unite humanity with a living new language. 4. Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason. 5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts. 6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court. 7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials. 8. Balance personal rights with social duties. 9. Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite. 10. Be not a cancer on the Earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature.

The whole thing stinks of of ecofascism. These first two read as pretty clear calls for eugenicism/genocide to me.

#1 trends towards ecofascism but it's also a major theme in 70s environmentalism (was known as "the population bomb" and is now known as "degrowth") - it's false of course, but many people do believe it.

#2 is actually quite unique I think. I mean you could say it's eugenics, but eugenicists are rarely in favor of "diversity".

Sure they are- some diversity's obviously good so the whole population doesn't get wiped out by one disease. There's a tradeoff between diversity and it's resistance to that sort of disaster, and unity/homogeneity and its resistances to other problems. You'd be a poor eugsnicist to not take that into account!
