Who’s the Communist?
A Communist is someone who believes in a classless and stateless society. Seek to alleviate problems of capitalist economy Believes people should have equal access to goods and services.
In the aftermath of World War II, Americans reacted with dismay as relations between the United States and the Soviet Union deteriorated, the Russians imposed communist control over much of Eastern Europe, and China was on the verge of going communist. People worried that communists might try to subvert schools, labor unions, and other institutions. Government agencies and private groups began to look for evidence of subversive activity. In this climate of fear and suspicion, the House Committee on Un-American Activities, which Herb Block had opposed since its inception in the 1930s, became active. Herb Block recognized the danger to civil liberties posed by such activities and warned of them in his work.
