Fascism can come from either side, right or left--induced by a majority or a small dictatorship.

Radical liberal fascism can occur when majority rule imposes itself on the minority by taking wealth and redistributing to achieve some sort of collective equality, sometimes manifesting itself in the form of socialism or communism.

Laissez-faire capitalism taken to the extreme could be called corporate fascism, where a marriage between government and corporations create a system of economic slavery where the minority imposes itself on the majority.

Or a despot could simply seize power militarily or by other means and institute a totalitarian regime.

There is no 100% true definition of the word today. It has become a pejorative or derogatory description for antagonists. That said, it wasn't very smart of Goldberg to title his book as such.
