Ah yes, the crypto-fascism conspiracy theory - or the blackshirt scare.
There's fascists everywhere. They don't call themselves that, they don't organise under that label, and their views aren't particularly similar to historical fascism - but it's a serious threat! It's so powerful that they have to keep it a secret because they'll be cast out of polite society...
At least McCarthy actually found people spying for the USSR.
