“A Red Scare is a form of moral panic provoked by fear of the rise of left-wing ideologies, especially communism and socialism… it led to mass political persecution, scapegoating, and the ousting of those with connections to left-wing movements.” (Wikipedia - Red Scare)

During the First Red Scare, striking workers and union organizers were broadly labeled “Reds” and treated as threats to national stability. Officials and the press portrayed labor unrest as “plots to establish communism,” even when strikes were peaceful and focused on economic demands. (The Red Scare)

In the 1920s, widespread anti-communist fears drove employers and courts to suppress union activities. Industrialists and media outlets frequently branded union members as “anti-American radicals,” weakening labor solidarity and dividing the movement itself. (History - Source)
