It's a prediction that the next facists will actually come in the guide of anti-fascists.
It's just a stupid little line anti-SJWs like to trot out to call SJWs illiberal. No point getting your knickers in a twist over it.
You can't be sure it's even a prediction. It's very possibly been created post-hoc to masquerade as one. In which case it's a questionable assertion of disingenuous phrasing and the attribution flat out false.

The thing you should be getting them twisted up about is the fact that SJWs ARE illiberal. All this other stuff is just noise.
This speaks to how poor your label is. Steve Biko - fascistically opposing apartheid. Rosa Parks illiberally sitting her ass on a bus. Tolpuddle Martyrs insidiously using their free time to fight for better conditions. All people who could properly be termed Social Justice Warriors.
I get your pet term is one of irony, but its bloody awful because it denudes real causes and people who really do fight against social injustice. In another thread I remember you saying you'd moved on from the term and instead were moving on to "some illiberal people" because it was more accurate - apparently not.
