Could you give some examples? I am from a post communist country and am interested in what could be percieved as communist in the US. My guesses are publi transport and universal health care on the top 2 spots.

Any sort of employee protection, paid vacation, maternity leave or sick time. Public transit as well.
Universal health care is probably the best example. Another example is universal maternal leave.
Depends how deep into the south you go. It fares from clear ones, like government run anything, to extremes like mixing races, homosexuality, and anything the CDC says right now.

Basically Fox news uses "Communism" as a synonym for "things I don't like"
