Communism a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs

The Second Red Scare (1950s)

Paranoia After World War II, the Soviet Union gobbled up Eastern Europe. For the first time, the Soviet Union and Communism were world powers.

Paranoia There were small groups of communist supporters in the U.S. A fear spread that these Americans might engage in subversive (secret, anti-government) activities

Paranoia The Republican party, in particular, more heavily made up of the wealthy and conservative Americans, led the attacks on these subversives

Early Hunts for Subversives Truman, a democratic president, feared losing office if he was seen as ‘weak’ on communism He set up Loyalty Review Boards, which reviewed government employees in order to remove/fire subversives

Early Hunts for Subversives The House of Representatives set up a committee (the House Un-American Activities Committee or HUAC) to find and root out subversives. They did not just search in the government. For example, famously, they held hearings to find subversives in Hollywood.

Paranoia  Hysteria A number of events pushed the fear of communism to absurd heights

Paranoia  Hysteria 1949 Spy cases!!! China fell to Communism Soviets get the atom bomb Spy cases!!! Alger Hiss  accused of smuggling secret American documents to the Soviets The Rosenbergs  couple accused of selling the atom bomb plans to the Soviets Executed!

Witch Hunts Joe McCarthy Republican senator from Wisconsin Felt he was unlikely to win reelection Decided to use fear of communism to boost his career

Witch Hunts McCarthyism McCarthy went on a rampage, announcing that the government was stuffed with ‘reds’ Made claims that he had inside knowledge and proof (for example, he’d say ‘I have a list of 205 people in the government who are members of the communist party’, but then would refuse to produce the names. Senators, when speaking in the senate, are immune from the charge of slander (knowingly telling lies to hurt another person’s reputation)

Witch Hunts Successful strategy McCarthy won reelection and became famous However, when he accused the army of having tons of communist subversives, and called hearings on this issue, army officials blasted McCarthy and burst his imaginary bubble. He became a national disgrace

Impact of the Red Scare on American People bomb shelters in suburbia Duck and cover drills in schools Demand for conformity (doing the same thing everyone else is doing) to prove loyalty Same clothes, same haircut, same lifestyle and goals, etc.
