In brief...
The Crucible was written in the same era as the "Cold War" was taking place, between Russia and the USA (Basically both had nuclear weapons but neither was going to use them first, so they sat it out for a good few years before calling a truce). During this time, anybody with the remotest links or good opinion of Communism (Russia's answer to the Western idea of Capitalism; basically everybody is equal and everybody should receive the same, despite the effort put in by anyone or the importance of their job) would be prosecuted. Miller - amongst others - referred to these trials as "witch hunts", hence the link to The Crucible.
