Preferred term

anti-communism  

Definition

  • THE USE OF anti-communism as a political campaign issue in American politics did not begin only with the onset of the Cold War. Even before the Soviet Union became a powerful player on the world stage and a direct opponent of the United States, politicians and pressure groups stressed on the threat posed by communist ideology to the American political and economic order.
