McCarthyism and the Misrepresentation of History

McCarthyism is often misunderstood and misrepresented as a baseless witch hunt by the Hollywood establishment. However, the reality is that there were indeed communists in unions, Hollywood, and politics who were actively working to implement an overthrow of the government and establish a totalitarian dictatorship.
