Hilarious

Eh, I wouldn't exactly call Liberalism "related" to Fascism. But I would say that Liberalism is an inherently authoritarian political ideology, or at least it displays very authoritarian tenancies. If you're honest with yourself as a Liberal you'll have to agree.

BTW the political spectrum is not a line or a bullshit "circle" (that's retarded), it is in fact an axis, with the top of the y being Authoritarianism and the bottom being Anarchism, and the left of the x being leftism and the right being conservatism. This paints a way more accurate picture of what the political field looks like. Hence you can have Authoritarian Leftists (Stalinists), Anarcho-Rightists (Lazzi-faire capitlists) and visa versa.

Oh and I find the Ron Paul supporters here really funny. What are you even doing on this Liberal website?
