She's never been too good at toeing the party line, though, at least compared to other people back home. She's become even more lax since arriving at this town and realizing that she finally doesn't have to police every little word. So, instead, she asks, "From what?"

Back home it was always communists. She hopes that this lady's answer isn't something similar.
