-Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.
-Of, relating to, or characteristic of liberalism.
-Liberal Of, designating, or characteristic of a political party founded on or associated with principles of social and political liberalism, especially in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States.
Can't really be free of authoritarian attitude and free from bigotry and still meet your fascist criteria. Nor can you be open to reform and progress and support such rule. Liberalism doesn't exactly equate to socioeconomic control either.
Point being that by definition one can not be both liberal and fascist, however in context of American society the definitions of both liberal and fascist aren't quite so clear cut in common usage.
