I know Libertarians don't think that they're Fascists, because they think of Fascism as a form of Socialism which they oppose,

but,

the historical reality is that in America, Libertarianism and Fascism have been deeply intertwined since the 1930s. The America First movement, for instance.

It was shared opposition to the New Deal that drew them together, and is still what holds them together in the Cryptocurrency scene, since undoing New Deal financial regulation is that scene's primary goal.

@natecull You dont really make your point here. There is nothing inherently fascist about opposing the new deal.

As for the america first movement, it was mostly just an anti-war committee opposing the us joining WWII, it didnt have any real fascist ideals. Fascism is not preferring your own country's success over others, its when a person is expected to have loyalty to the state of personal rights which is directly contrary to libertarianism.
