The causal mechanism for the libertarian to fascist movement is idealism. Libertarianism is a completely idealist rules based worldview that only bears tangential relation to reality. It somehow creates a peaceful and morally justified hierarchy for a given body politic. Because it is a hierarchical worldview the only people who would willingly adopt it are those who preceive themselves as benefiting from the system, aka being securely on top already or would be on top if the system were adopted. When they gain power and the world doesn't conform to their idealized view that must mean that someone broke the rules, cheated, and therefore those malefactors fall outside the Civil body politic. Because ypu now have an external enemy you are now justified in using any method necessary to defeat and reestablish the "rules based order." This is how you can get a cognitive dissonance free genuine movement from libertarian to fascists
