Most Americans hate communism. Around this time Americans were focused on the "American Dream" which was the goal to live life through industry and consumerism. They wanted the ideal life for themselves.
In capitalism, people live in a country based on looking after the individual, rather than the community as a whole such as communism. Communism has the right ideas, people being equal. A huge problem is that communism is susceptible to the abuse of humans. You are only as strong as your weakest link. If you are wealthy, you tend to pay more to the government so they can spread the wealth. Everyone gets the same treatment no matter what.
As Americans, the greatest fear is to be equal. It just does not resemble what America is about. America is known for having the biggest and the best of everything.
People today still fear communism. As stated before, the goal of communism is simplistic and tends to be for the greatest good. The only problem is that you will always have a ruling party.
Communism would take away the opportunity for people to earn their life. The American Dream is still in action today. People want to work for themselves not for anyone else.
