Fascism = Big centralized government with central planning for the perfecting of the master-race.

Marx believed in the same thing. before Marx there was Godwin who equally believed in solution based governing for the perfecting of the human race. They viewed man as a perfectible creature that is not limited by natural tendencies.

The Founders and Adam Smith believed otherwise that man has limitations and that those limitations will always be a part of us.

I can't speak for the big-government republicans but I can speak on the behalf of individualism.

The accurate paradigm that should be remembered was the paradigm of the Founders….

Tyranny vs Anarchy

Tyranny is big centralized government where individuals are ruled and do not have individual freedoms to life liberty or property.

Anarchy is the absence of government.

The founders believed being in the middle of that paradigm. Small limited central government so that individuals are not under the yoke of tyranny but big enough to have power to take care of the needs of the States.

Overtime the people and the political class have forgotten this paradigm for expediency sake. Because the natural tendency of any nation is the increase the size the government. It is not solely the fault of the progressive big government types, it is also the fault of us as citizens to keep a watch on the government. The government is our creation, thus a creature of man, man is not a creature of government.

The only good thing about the current regime being in power is that it is igniting the fire of liberty in the hearts and minds of the citizens. It is sad that we had to wake up under these circumstances, but never the less another period of Awakening is happening among liberty loving people. Time will only tell if it lasts and if we as a citizenry are serious about taking back the power from the State and returning it to the people where it rightly belongs.

Getting back to the topic at hand. Fascism, Communism or Socialism are all on the side of tyranny because those "-isms" tend to rob man of individual freedom. It is inaccurate to align libertarian type people with fascism because these types of people believe in the very opposite of what Fascism stands for.
