The Rosenberg trial. The Rosenberg's were charged and convicted of giving the Soviet Union secret military information. They were executed for this crime.
The trial and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953 intensified the fear of communism as an internal threat to the US. The Rosenbergs were convicted of spying for the Soviet Union during the Cold War, which fueled concerns about communist infiltration in the US government and society. Their case highlighted the perceived dangers of communist influence and espionage in America.

Communism. This is one reason Britain appeased Germany in the 1930s. Britain would have preferred fascism over communism.
The ideas of communism still pose a threat in that there are still large numbers of people who idolize communism as a political system and wish to see it implemented in democratic and non-democratic countries. However, communism as a political system wherein the government controls all manufacturing on behalf of the whole people subject to a planned economy is no longer subscribed to by any major power on Earth. Communism as an existential threat, such as the West perceived it during the Cold War, no longer exists.
It was considered a threat with the Russian Revolution and the Chinese civil war during WW2 brought that threat to the forefront. Communism was always a threat to capitalist governments due to it being the exact opposite of what capitalism stands for. Though, recognize what communism is, and not what it was made out to be. Different Opinion Communism was never a threat. The West took it as a threat because several natiosn were taking that government and it was the opposite of Capitalist West's views. In addition, Communism was the government of the Soviet Union, America's 'opponent' during the Cold War (from this era most anti-Communist sentiment comes). Some other people, myself included, take it a little further by saying the US simply didn't want to recognize that it had met a government better than its own. Few people can actually tell you what Communism is; all the know is that it carries a negative connotation, which is just ridiculous/
