What did john McCarthy mean when he said when a great democracy is destroyed it will not be from enemies from without but rather because enemies within?

McCarthy had a view of the world that was full of communism and ready to work to turn the United States into a communist state.

He felt that some of the movies made had communistic themes and many screenwriters were "black balled" from working.


What did Senator Joseph McCarthy have to do with the Red Scare of the 1950's?

He conducted hearings on communist subversion in America and investigated alleged communist infiltration of the armed forces. But he did it in a way that advanced his own power and fame, and caused a great deal of trial and hardship for citizens who had different legitimate points of view politically without being disloyal to the US. Just to be accused by McCarthy, or brought before one of his hearings was like a 'kiss of death'. Professions and reputations were ruined during that cold war period, just because of the strange paranoid fear that was spread and kindled by McCarthy and his henchmen. Many in the entertainment industry were 'black-listed' and prevented from work; producers and directors feared that if they hired actors and others who had been 'exposed' by McCarthy, they would be accused of subversive activity just by hiring them. While he may not have been a communist, McCarthy was certainly not beyond reproach. For his reckless accusations and his inability to substantiate them, he was eventually censured by the Senate; his run at power and fame came to an end. There are many other interesting things about his life and career.


What role did the Communist party and organized labor play radicalizing black Americans during the 1930s?

The Communist Party actively recruited Black members and supported anti-racist initiatives, providing a platform for Black activists to address issues of inequality.
