It was considered a threat with the Russian Revolution and the Chinese civil war during WW2 brought that threat to the forefront. Communism was always a threat to capitalist governments due to it being the exact opposite of what capitalism stands for. Though, recognize what communism is, and not what it was made out to be. Different Opinion Communism was never a threat. The West took it as a threat because several natiosn were taking that government and it was the opposite of Capitalist West's views. In addition, Communism was the government of the Soviet Union, America's 'opponent' during the Cold War (from this era most anti-Communist sentiment comes). Some other people, myself included, take it a little further by saying the US simply didn't want to recognize that it had met a government better than its own. Few people can actually tell you what Communism is; all the know is that it carries a negative connotation, which is just ridiculous/

The ideas of communism still pose a threat in that there are still large numbers of people who idolize communism as a political system and wish to see it implemented in democratic and non-democratic countries. However, communism as a political system wherein the government controls all manufacturing on behalf of the whole people subject to a planned economy is no longer subscribed to by any major power on Earth. Communism as an existential threat, such as the West perceived it during the Cold War, no longer exists.

Lenin isn't a threat at all! He's a messiah! Another opinion: Lenin is a traitor to the cause of communism and to his own revolution.
