Communism was condemned both as an ideology and a social system. In the US, it was the concerted attempts to demonize communism while extolling the virtues of capitalism and democracy. The world was envisioning a world kept divided and obedient with fears of 'perpetual war'.
During the Cold War, the US government used Propaganda to portray communism as a threat to democracy and freedom. This included campaigns in media, schools, and government messaging that sought to demonize communism and communist countries as oppressive and dangerous. Anti-communist propaganda was used to rally public support for US foreign policy initiatives and military interventions against communist governments.
The official propaganda agency of the US does not exist. The US government does not have a designated agency for propaganda.

Flattery propaganda is a form of propaganda that involves using excessive compliments or praise to manipulate or persuade individuals or a group of people. It is used to boost morale, gain favor, or influence behavior by appealing to emotions and vanity.
"Join the fight for freedom!" is an example of a slogan used as propaganda to rally support for a cause by appealing to people's sense of patriotism and desire for liberty.
An example of propaganda during the Vietnam War is the portrayal of the conflict as a noble cause to fight against the spread of communism. Media coverage often emphasized the heroism of American soldiers and downplayed civilian casualties and the negative impact of the war on the Vietnamese population. This propaganda aimed to maintain public support for the war effort and justify US involvement in Vietnam.
Americans hate Communism because during the Cold War the US made a lot of Anti-Communist propaganda.
There is nothing 'wrong' with Communism. The thing is that most Westerners get the misconception that Communism is bad. This is because during the Cold War in an effort to get support against the USSR and Communism the US used wildly incorrect propaganda which made most people think Communism=Tyranny, which isn't the case. Take it from me, I lived in the Soviet Union, visited Cuba and China, and I wasn't oppressed, nor did I ever see anyone around me be a victim of 'tyranny'. Its all propaganda. Basically this..... There have been tyrants in capitalism. South American countries and South Eastern Asian countries (who are still all LECDs), Africa and Middle East have non-democratic capitalism.
Propoganda was the main method used to deter communism in America. 'Witch Hunts' was also notoriously used to discourage people from Communism ideals.
The government used Propaganda.
The official propaganda agency of the US does not exist. The US government does not have a designated agency for propaganda.

It was when the US government over dramatised the Bolshevik revolution because they did not like communism and so made anti-communist propaganda, causing people to fear 'Communism' like a disease. pretty stupid really.
It was to keep Communism contained by preventing Communist infiltration and revolution in non-Communist countries. This strategy was based on the knowledge that Communism would fail on its own unless it was constantly spreading to new areas.
Cold war is a term that is described by an unarmed conflict. The cold war between US and Soviet Union was based on distrust between two nations. large amount of propaganda was used to inform the public about this conflict. It was also a war between communism and a free market.
Capitalism and communism - APEX.
The stop to communism and to prevent communism to come into the US.
