When people think of Communists they think of foreign totalitarian powers and it doesn't feel real. Antifa is made up of people from your neighborhood and they wear black and commit violence on people in your community. Antifa isn't an actual group so you can fabricate an idea of them for your supporters. With Communists you'd have to get into ideology and that's boring. Burning dumpsters are exciting and get people riled up.
This is a good point. If they were railing against communism, some people might actually do some research and learn about what this communism stuff is all about.
Case in point: watching republicans call their own healthcare reform "socialism" for 8 years made me go learn about socialism out of sheer spite, "because I know it ain't you fuckers"
Not only that but they would have to enter into an ideological debate with communism. They don't want to do that because it takes focus away from pure winning.
also there are actual communist parties that can say "okay but no, and we have an alibi."
also they did use to call everyone to the left of themselves communists and socialists but then it was leading to a rise in popularity of those ideologies they just don't want to spread a term that will lead to people googling "what is communism?"
