McCarthyism refers to the period in the early 1950s in the United States characterized by intense anti-communist suspicion and the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper evidence. Named after Senator Joseph McCarthy, it involved aggressive investigations and questioning of individuals in government, entertainment, and other sectors, often leading to blacklisting and reputational damage. The term has since come to symbolize the broader themes of political repression, fear-mongering, and the violation of civil liberties in the name of national security.
