Fascism is an often misused word and I would therefore avoid it's use in describing anything at all except perhaps the state of Italy during the mid 19th century.
To see how difficult it is to define or use properly see the talk page for the debate on the definition in Wikipedia. Fascism is many things but certainly not free market.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FascismI particularly like Orwell's run at defining it.

One thing you can be sure of, anyone calling someone a Facist is smearing that person with an pejorative that has little basis in the actual definition. They also don't know what they are talking about.
