No. McCarthyism is an idea that Senator McCarthy had that there were people in government and entertainment who were communist. He held hearings and put people on trial for communist thinking. Many screenwriters in the entertainment business were put on a blacklist because of him and couldn't work. For future reference any word you find with the (ism) at the end of the word means it is an idea or type of philosophy. Examples: communism, Buddhaism, abolitionism, absolutism, absenteeism, agism, autism, behaviorism.
