Peacemaker's views were called proto fascist. They weren't saying all libertarian views are fascist.

Don't forget that before he joined the team he would go around murdering anyone he suspected of a crime and didn't care if he accidentally took out innocents b/c he believed the ends justified the means for society as a whole.

I don't think she was calling all his views as proto-fascist, she was specifically describing his idea of freedom as proto-fascist and libertarian. She said "Why did you not choose to help them? Because of your proto-fascist libertarian idea of freedom?" I'm pretty sure that by her describing his idea of freedom as "proto-fascist libertarian" she didn't mean either adjective to be complimentary, and that she views the two adjectives in a similarly condescending way.

At least that is how I took it.
