Is there a „humanist nihilism“ movement? I mean a political and social narrative that the world would be better off without humans? Is there a party you can vote for, that aims to achieve this goal?

- Not really. Most people want to stick around.
  
  I recommend working to change how people interact with the world, rather than trying to get rid of people.

  That would mean I also have to change. 😵‍💫 But I am a big part of the problem!

- I've wondered the same thing. It's not quite exactly what you're talking about, it's just kind of related, but you may be interested in antinatalism.

- That's the thing with nihilism though, if you beat the drum about it it ceases to be nihilism because it's an individual understanding of oneself in context with the world around you. If a party claims to be a nihilist they're just a power hungry shill, basically.
  
  I believe what you would be wanting is anarcho-ism type movement (:
