so only the two ends of the spectrum, communists and fascists aren't, libs?
and if being a lib is undesirable, doesn't it mean "individual rights and freedoms" a bad thing in your view?

It's a little bit more complicated than that. The "everyone I don't like is a lib" thing is mostly a meme. The reason why leftists hate liberals is that they generally support maintaining capitalism/imperialism, as well as their supposed tendency to both advertantly and indavertantly prop up fascists durring times of great political change ("scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds").
I'm not an authoirty on this, so I beg you to take everything I say with a heaping helping of salt. Here is a playlist of five ten-minute video essays about this.
for the purpose of calling people libs on the internet, yes. reality is more nuanced.
yes. individualism is a tool of the bourgeoisise. communists want "everything for the masses".
