It is pretty obvious that if they had anything remotely alluding to actual left-wing politics, they would release it. Trump has a hatred for the left (likely because of the 2020 protests) that he didn't really have as much in his first term. He also has a strong motivation to coin an enemy.

The difficult part is that it isn't believable at all amongst non-MAGA that there is a real communist threat. Communism has never been weaker as a movement. This is very unlike 1920's and 30's Germany (or even 1930's U.S) where communism was a real threat to the extant systems.

The right is trying to treat "woke" ideas as the new communism, but nobody really cares about woke that much. Radical cultural liberalism isn't a threat to capitalism.

Socialism is very strong in the US. For example, Trump just ensured the us government has a 10% interest in Intel. That's pretty socialist.
