Leftists in the US government at that time hated Patton no doubt.
Truman was probably even angry with him. But Patton died before he would be disciplined even more than Eisenhower did for his honest opinion about things.
Eventually they couldn’t stop the anti-Communist sentiment as the GOP got veto proof power in Congress in 1946 and Churchill made his “Iron Curtain” speech.
Even Truman had to project anti-Communism for political reasons even though his liberal advisors hated to do so.
As for deliberately killing Patton, the Soviet NKVD-KGB would definitely have wanted to do it. Whether they actually did it is pure speculation.
They tried to kill the Pope in 1981, other attacks on opponents were carried out in London and lest we forget Vlad Putin has continued the tradition with his pelonium in recent years.
It does make you wonder??????????
The left would leave truth behind as they rewrite history.
It was Stalin who insisted that all Russia refer to the Nazis as fascists. He didn't want anyone to think he was at war with "brother socialists".
Today, the left has convinced many that the Nazis were right wingers in the Western since and not a spinoff of Communism (nationalist rather than worldwide). "Communist" is too harsh. They are "socialists", "progressives", "liberals", "greens".

I don’t call this level of solid research
“pure speculation.”
