 Everyone like to think they're free and fighting for freedom ... on all doses of the political spectrum.

What defines a freedom activist? What is your definition of freedom? 

I've been a pro "individual free agency" type of freedom activist my entire life.  Maybe not on the scale that you want

On the other hand, leftists think communism liberates and is "freedom"

 forgot to add - ... in most cases for brainwashed or even mentally ill people 
 Communism is the abolishment of private property.

Fascism is the merger of the private business with government. 
 Exactly.
