In the 1920s, communists and anarchists were targeted due to rising fears of radicalism and social upheaval, particularly in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1917. The U.S. government, alongside many others, viewed these groups as threats to national security and capitalist structures. This led to events like the Red Scare, where widespread paranoia about communist infiltration resulted in aggressive crackdowns, deportations, and violations of civil liberties. Additionally, labor strikes and social movements were often associated with these ideologies, further fueling public and governmental apprehension.

The labor strikes during the 20s, especially the Boston Police Strike of 1919, frightened Americans.

The Russian Revolution, the violence associated with it, and the take over of Russia by the Communists also added to the fear in American society.
