Probably because it's a more broad antifascist symbol nowadays.
Even back in the day, there were multiple interpretations (all by the socdems tho), they designed the symbol, because it's easy to "destroy" a swastika with it by spraying over it.
The American Iron Front is an anti-fascist & pro-democracy activist coalition. We are a big-tent community for patriotic folks working to undermine the encroachment of right-wing authoritarianism in this country, even if they don't necessarily identify with the more radical and/or revolutionary aspects of other 'Antifa' groups. We wish to reclaim the value of 'patriotism' from the ultranationalist right, and to encourage the American People to strive for a country where all are free and liberated.
None of that is overtly anti-communist, but (as other respondents have pointed out) the symbol has at various times been used in part as opposition to communism (among other things).
On a scale of 1 to sus, it's a little sus, but you can count on people using the symbol to reliably oppose the flavor of fascism currently being peddled by the GOP. Whether that extends to broader anti-police sentiments or awareness of America's historical fascist tendencies varies from person to person.

I find anyone whose only ideology is "anti-fash" a little sus
