The communist revolution in Russia led many in Washington to fear that socialism would take hold in the United States. This fear stemmed from the belief that the revolutionary ideals of the Bolsheviks could inspire workers and leftist groups in the U.S. to rise up against capitalism, leading to a spread of socialist movements. This period saw the Red Scare, characterized by widespread paranoia about communist influence and the potential for a similar revolution occurring in America.
