Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
Other than the definitions always include the term "far right" the description sounds just like our left.
So how does a freedom loving guy who believes in individual responsibility and a minimalist government get labeled a fascist regularly?
Ignorance and propaganda
