        McCarthy was anticommunist, if you believe that current Russia has anything to do with worker liberation, I cannot help you.

            Current Russia is about as far from communism, socialism or any left-wing agenda as possible. It is a reactionist, authoritarian, pro-tradition anti-progress state run by a wealthy elite. Being against current Russia has literally nothing to do with McCarthyism, other than geography.

                Then please explain what other association you have with McCarthy? Because the one I perceive as commonly used seems to not be it?

                  Accusing people of being Russian agents with no evidence as away of silencing disagreement.

                    Eeh, come on. While yes, that is one way to put it, McCarthy has a certain ring to it, especially in left and liberal circles. Something something you cannot not evoke a thing without its frame.
