PROBLEM:

Too many of the sources are from Communist/Socialist/Labor publications. The biased use of sources could possibly be detrimental to the validity of this article.

As long as the facts are there, I don't see a problem. And even from these sources, it is clear that there was a problem with people who wished to impose their view of the world on society by the bomb, not the ballot. How far a society can go to protect itself from such people is an ongoing debate, but the purpose of the article is just to lay out what happened. If you have some other sources to help do this, put them in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.191.135.66 (talk) 18:39, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you stupid? "Facts" as YOU call them are not facts if they are from extreme sources. Whoever is writing these articles is obviously a fool. Stop miseducating people! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.117.23.44 (talk) 22:16, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

'Extreme' itself is a subjective word as it's meaning can vary between people. Facts are what we know, what is certain without any subjectivity or moral judgement. The human is capable of figuring this out on their own if they have a generalized understand of a language and each word's meaning. Your name calling other person's in this discussion is perfect example of a descriptive word that is subjective to your person about another. Misinfornation like the words you used can be spotted simply by using logical capabilities of our shared human species. 2601:45:500:B850:6D25:373A:DAEE:977D (talk) 10:53, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it "First Red Scare" or "first Red Scare"?

Both are used in the article. Matuko (talk) 18:29, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

American-centric

Fierce anti-communism was present in many countries towards the end of and immediately after WW1. The tone of the article would have people believe that this was a purely American phenomenon, which it wasn't. 2A0A:EF40:1296:6B01:E895:54E9:803B:4540 (talk) 14:58, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
