There's also a surprising amount of philosophical overlap in the ideologies' theoretical underpinnings between the anarchist left and the libertarian right, with it being technical issues why the former prefer a socialist sharing economy and the latter a free market when it comes to practical implementation. This is something that the libertarians have started actively downplaying from the mid-1970s onwards, though, as a key plank of building coalitions with the rest of the political right. The Mitrailleuse, a libertarian webzine I sometimes read, had a very informative two part article about how that split happened.

Its thought to be contradictory to believe in freedom across the board on both economic and social issues. This is why so many libertarians never seem to be taken seriously. And also why so many can't agree.
As for fascism for freedom this really begs the question how does someone like Hilter think that eugenics is the right thing to do to create a utopian society. The really scary thing is that so many desperate people were willing to follow him. He did say "How fortunate for administrators that the people they they administer don't think."

Outside of semantics, which sometimes don't explain absolutely anything, fascism for freedom is impossible because to enforce it you would need a gigantic (or at least big) government apparatus. Even if the dictator him/herself would be an angel with pure intentions, to make this happen he would need hundreds, thousands of bureaucrats, enforcers, soldiers, policemen, etc. It's contradictory but you would need it. You would even need a thought-police. So it's gradually becoming less free. And when so many people have power, the chance that many, MANY of them abuse it and see for their own interest is not even high: it's certain.
So no.

Fascism in the sense of a totalitarian system to ensure by any and all means necessary the unbridled freedom of the masses. Fascism as an authoritarian system of government and social organization that demanded and enforced the most extreme individual freedoms. A fascist government with the intent of providing security by force to guarantee no impingement upon freedom of thought, expression and action. Oxymoronic but unfeasible?

^ It is fictitiously feasible, or I should say plausible. Existentially feasible?; Harder to see.
