Libertarianism is never far from Nazism. The Venn diagram is a circle. The only question is which circle contains the other.
Currently, I think (right-)libertarianism is a subset of fascism. In short:
Both groups exalt the dictatorship of the market and ownership class and see it as simply the just enforcement of The Natural Order via survival of the fittest.
You can't have naked market capitalism and violent enforcement of private property restrictions without it being the groundwork for proto-fascism, IMO.
