During the 2nd Red Scare, bystanders often became informants and reported suspected communists to authorities, contributing to the pervasive fear and paranoia of the era. Many people cooperated with McCarthyism, the anti-communist crusade led by Senator Joseph McCarthy, by providing information or testimonies that targeted individuals as "un-American" or communist sympathizers. Additionally, some bystanders remained silent out of fear of being accused themselves and added to the overall atmosphere of suspicion and distrust.
The Red Scare was a period of anti-communist hysteria in the United States during the early 20th century, fueled by fears of communist infiltration and subversion. While socialism and communism were associated with the Red Scare, it was primarily a response to perceived threats from the Soviet Union and the spread of communism internationally. The Red Scare led to widespread fear, investigations, and restrictions on civil liberties in the US.
The ideals of socialism and communism were seen as threatening to the U.S. government and capitalist system during the early 20th century. This fear led to the Red Scare, where there was paranoia and persecution of individuals suspected of being communist or socialist. Immigrant restrictions were put in place to limit the entry of individuals who were perceived to be associated with these ideologies, as they were seen as a threat to American values.
The three major social conflicts in the 1920s were the Scopes Trial, which centered around the teaching of evolution in schools; Prohibition, which banned the sale and consumption of alcohol; and the Red Scare, which was a fear of communist infiltration and led to the Palmer Raids.
During the Red Scare in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s, thousands of people were blacklisted for suspected ties to communism. The exact number is difficult to determine due to the secretive nature of the process, but estimates range from hundreds to thousands of individuals who were affected by blacklisting.
That would probably depend on how much they knew about the atrocities before they happened, and whether, knowing about them, they would have been able to shorten their duration. Whatever their responsibility it wouldn't reduce the responsibility of the perpetrators of the atrocities. I might have a guilt to bear for what X did to Y, but I didn't cause or encourage them to do it. They are 100% responsible.
