Fascists and communists are rivals on the left. She is a communist and I am sure she hates fascists. But, she is calling freedom-loving patriots fascists. Fascists are only a few degrees to the right of communists so there is not much difference between the two to those on the right. When she says she hates fascists what she is saying is that she hates freedom-loving patriots. Ironically, what she is technically saying is that patriots are almost like her which is not true because communism is closer to fascism than individual liberty and freedom. Those who say fascism is far right do not know what they are talking about.
