Anti-Communist sentiment

Anti-Communist sentiment refers to a mindset or attitude opposing communist ideologies and regimes. It often arises from concerns about lack of political freedoms, economic inefficiencies, and human rights abuses historically associated with communist governments. During the Cold War, this sentiment was fueled by fears of expansion and loss of democratic liberties, leading many to oppose communist states like the Soviet Union and its allies. It can also reflect broader fears of authoritarianism or centralized control, influencing policies, public opinion, and cultural attitudes in countries wary of communist influence.
