A Red Scare is a form of moral panic provoked by fear of the rise of left-wing ideologies in a society, especially communism and socialism. Historically, red scares have led to mass political persecution, scapegoating, and the ousting of those in government positions who have had connections with left-wing movements.

It's just a boogeyman word to make them sound scary. Laura Loomer literally does not know what marxist means beyond "communism". In fact, she doesn't even know what communism is, she has just been told it's bad.
