anticommunism

Fierce antagonism towards communism linked particularly with right-wing politician Joseph McCarthy's activities in the USA during the 1950s. He made numerous unsubstantiated claims that the State Department had been infiltrated by communist activity, thus triggering a wave of anticommunist hysteria. He did not succeed in identifying any communists employed by the government.
