US Congressman Joseph McCarthy (who was anti-communist) tried to expose communists working in Hollywood and in Washington, DC.
They are similiar enough to make the comparison easy, but they are also different enough that Miller couldn't get in trouble for writing against a senator who was against communism.
The US was worried about other countries becoming powerful. No connection to Communism (a classless stateless society based on production for use).
Senator Joseph McCarthy became famous because his Senate hearings on communism in the US were televised and the threat of communism was a great cause for alarm for many Americans. The most powerful communist nation in the world was the Soviet Union. The USSR held on to the countries they invaded on their way to end the Nazi government in Germany. The eastern part of Europe was controlled by the Soviet Union and the foreign policy of the USSR and of communism in general was that expansion of its form of government was a good thing. Reading what Soviet writers published, indicated that so-called Western democracies, no matter how socialistic they were, we nations that required the type of government that the USSR had. The threat seemed real enough as China and North Korea became communist after WW 2 and unlike Romania, which the Soviets had occupied on their way to Berlin, China and North Korea became communist, for the most part, without the use of Soviet force.As the hearings of McCarthy became controversial and many seemed he was pointing guilt to true Americans the controversy added to his fame or better said his infamy. The Senate & the US president, Dwight Eisenhower basically shut down the Senators "operation" to find communists in the USA. US President Eisenhower agreed with the Senate's censure of McCarthy.
Communism (a classless stateless society based on production for use and democratic control) has never existed in China.
Because it was one of the causes of the war.
Communism & a some Militarism
The Second Red Scare of 1947 to 1957 was dominated by Senator Joseph McCarthy (R) from Wisconsin.

Yes. It has used communism since 1949
Senator Joseph McCarthy frightened Americans by claiming communists had infiltrated the United States, and were working to bring the country down. He and the House Committee on Un-American Activities subpoenaed, interrogated and posted the names of hundreds of Americans who had been accused of communist activity.
"Due to the puritanical religious beliefs of her mother, Catherine's youth was similar to that of a prisoner in fascist Germany." "When it came to the subject of how communism should be implemented and applied, Joseph was a Puritan."
marxism is an synonym for communism so it is a noun. use it as you would communism ex: Karl Marx invented marxism.
It's quite silly to compare socialism or communism with capitalism without comparing them to each other.

The events in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" are used by him to mirror the events in America of the time. At the time it was written, a crazy senator named Joseph McCarthy used fear to sway the Americans to persecute and arrest certain people for "communism" without any proof at all. They could be famous actors or actresses, random men and women, anything, and, without having done anything wrong, would get arrested for Communism. In the play, two crazy kids decide to run a plot where they use the town of Salem's common fear of witchcraft to accuse everyone in the town of witchcraft with no proof, in an event known as the "Salem Witch Trials".
