Disagree. Liberals are bad, but fascists are explicitly not liberals. Fascism is socialism for dummies. It requires rejecting liberalism, socialism, or anything that has common rules to mediate power. It's a state of nature without the pretense of a social contract.
Liberalism eventually collapses into fascism or socialism(rarely successfully), but that doesn't make it fascism or socialism. Current China has been increasingly fascist recently, but they are still loosely bound by rules and norms that resemble liberalism at this point. Fascists like Trump use norms for brownie points while talking out of both sides of his mouth in the same breath. They are for nothing but spreading like a plague.
