A smidge.
Perhaps more than a little.
Okay, the US had enough concern about the spread of communism that it lead to a huge witch hunt (Red Hunt) in the US in the 50's, defined the world view of an entire generation, and established US foreign policy for more than half a century.
Consider terms like:
- The Cold War
- NATO
- The Korean War
- The Vietnam War (Police Action)
- McCarthyism
- Red Scare
- Black Balling of Hollywood celebrities
- Eisenhower's New Look foreign policy
- US sponsored coups in Iran and Guatemala
- Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD)
- Berlin Blockade
- Alliance for Progress
- Bay of Pigs
- Cuban Missile Crisis
- The U-2 incident
- Operation Linebacker
- Operation Phoenix
- Containment and the Truman Doctrine
- Domino Theory
- House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC)
- National Security Act of 1947
- National Security Council Memorandum 68 (NSC-68)
- Space Race
- SALT and SALT II
- Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)
- Bomb drills
- Nikita Khrushchev
- Ethel and Julius Rosenberg
In essence, communism was fully in the collective consciousness of the American public and government officials from about 1938 until after the fall of the Soviet Union in the early Nineties. Just shy of sixty years of US history spanning both foreign and domestic policy over those years.
