They want to protect their political control, so they break any way for the opposition to effectively organize. Things like unlimited immigration, Net Zero 2050, and dekulakization of the agricultural sector are widely unpopular, so they just have to get everyone who has anything to say against these programs to be politically powerless.
I am all for unlimited immigration (for law-abiding people who can earn their living, of course), Net Zero 2050 (burning oil and coal for heating and energy generation is blasphemy), and getting rid of agricultural subsidies. That’s good for the economy and the environment.
Net zero is widely popular.
Everything else you listed are right wing conspiracy theories.

Apparently this isn't:
"Just seven electric-vehicle charging stations have begun operating with funding from a $5-billion US government program created in 2021, marking “pathetic” progress, a Democratic senator said on Wednesday."

Breaking news: government is slow.
Net Zero 2050 involves so much economic depravation that is neither good for business interests, or good for the public's economic well being, such that the only way it could ever happen would be in some sort of authoritarianism. The adherents are nevertheless undeterred, thus I think Ecological Totalitarianism has a good chance of becoming the Bolshevism of the 21st century.
Let’s just require polluters to secure permission from each person whose air they’re going to pollute. That seems fair enough.
