Things were very different in the 1950's, at that time, many countries converted to communism every year. The communist party in the US was expanding rapidly, many famous scientists, artists openly declare their belief of communism, and some politicians were actively working to convert the US into a socialist country and an ally of the Soviet Union. Joe McCarthy and Eisenhover did the right thing to pass tough measures to halt the spread of communism in the US and the world, and confront Russia, China in Europe, Korea, Cuba and Vietnam. Although some innocent people might be affected by those measures, the overral effect of their actions was positive. If the US does not stand up to communists at that time, it has a very real possibility to become a socialist country itself, and thus we would all be living under communist ruling now.
