Morphology
The meaning 'information or material disseminated to promote fascist ideology' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'fascist' (relating to fascism) with 'propaganda' (ideas spread to influence others). This noun+noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern, so an average B1 learner who knows both constituents will grasp the MWE's basic meaning.
Etymology
Fascist propaganda combines fascist, a powerful political movement that uses force and strict control, and propaganda, simple posters, speeches, and repeated messages meant to change what people think. Because fascist leaders used strong images, repetition, and lies to shape what people believe, fascist propaganda now means 'information made to promote a fascist movement'.
