Yep, fanatical anticommunism (which was sincere belief among many of the Cold Warriors) was used to justify what a wide range of historians now view as just the continuation of imperial policies by other means (or just different names and rationalizations)

There’s something to that, but hawkish anti-communism was also used to justify the growth of the security state and its domestic application.

The US clearly thought of colonialism as a lesser evil than Communism, but I don't see how one could look at, say, the American squeeze on Britain during the Suez Crisis and conclude that the US was interested in preserving colonialism for its own sake.

wasn't D.C. simply (further) squeezing London out of ME influence here? US FP might not have been in UK interests, but it certainly was in US's.

Internally, "anti-communism" was also used in places like here in Milwaukee to suppress a movement for open housing/end strict residential segregation back in the 50s and early 60s. After anticommunism lost its potency in the late 60s, it became an explicit racist appeal instead.

That would certainly apply to the British and maybe the French. That ended with the Suez Crisis. Do you guys history?
