anti-Red

adjective

an·​ti-Red ˌan-tē-ˈred 

ˌan-tī-

: anti-communist

After the 1954 downfall of Sen. Joe McCarthy, who had led his own fanatical crusade against communists, HUAC's influence began to decline. But in 1960 anti-Red paranoia was still running high, and the committee was still a force to be reckoned with.
