Why did Americans fear communism in the 1920s?

They believed that communism was too totalitarian and wouldn't let people choose government. 2) The U.S. is a capitalist country, and so its prosperity depends on having people buy its products all over the world. In communist countries, there is no private property, so it cuts people off from buying products.

if this is correct can u answer my question on my profile thx
