In the 1920s, negative attention for communists in the U.S. was largely fueled by the Red Scare, a period marked by widespread fear of communism and radical leftist ideologies following the Russian Revolution of 1917. This anxiety was exacerbated by events such as labor strikes, bombings by anarchists, and the rise of socialist movements, which were often linked to fears of a communist uprising. The government, through actions like the Palmer Raids, targeted suspected radicals, further heightening public fear and suspicion. This atmosphere of paranoia led to a broader backlash against leftist groups, associating them with violence and subversion.
