The philosophy of Joe McCarthy in searching for communism in government and other places. When you see an “ism” at the end of the word in things like communism, socialism, it means it is an idea based on a political philosophy.
Why for four years Senator Joseph McCarthy was able to recklessly attack and falsely accuse people of being communists?
(Many people were afraid too oppose McCarthy.) For nearly four years, Senator Joseph McCarthy was able to recklessly attack and falsely accuse people of being communists. One reason McCarthy was able to keep making false accusations was that many people were afraid to take a stand against him. They were afraid to oppose McCarthy because he would call them a communist or "soft on communism." During the Red Scare of the late 1940s and 1950s, a person's reputation would be ruined if he or she was called a communist. They would run the risk of being fired from their jobs. Former friends would no longer talk to them for fear of also being called a communist.McCarthy's downfall came in 1954 when he accused popular generals in the U.S. Army of being communists or "soft on communism." The army fought back. They were able to show that McCarthy had no proof to back up his charges. Members of the U.S. Senate also, finally, got up the courage to speak out against McCarthy. The U.S. Senate censured (scolded) McCarthy for his actions. McCarthy's popularity dropped. This period of McCarthyism (the smearing of people with false charges) was a dark chapter in U.S. history.
Why did McCarthy initially receive a lot of support for his efforts to expose Communists?
It was the cold war, everyone was afraid of the USSR and "communism". In a true demagogic fashion, he exploited everyone's fears for personal gain. People went along with it either because they were afraid of communists, or too afraid to stand up to McCarthy, as they may be branded as unpatriotic. This is a common thing, just think of our cultural and political climate after 9/11.

How do Trotskyism and communism differ?
Trotskyism is a strand of communist theory which does not have any real differences with the communism of people like Marx, Engels and Lenin.

One way they differ is on questions of democracy, Stalinism is of course very anti-democratic while Trotsky saw socialism and democracy as being inseperable.
