    This is flat out wrong. McCarthyism was powerful because it was enabled by mainstream authorities (FBI, liberal anti-Communists, GOP, mid-western business elite). See E. Schrecker, M. Rogin. Student activists have no such mainstream support. https://twitter.com/PsychRabble/status/972272004161200128 …

        Yes, which is why the support anti-speech college kids get from mainstream figures at The New Republic makes them actually worrying

        So in the name of free speech you are saying that there can only be one correct opinion on speech controversies? Great Orwellian logic.

        McCarthyism became powerful because it exaggerated and hyperbolised a *real* and serious threat. There really were Soviet spies in the military & the State Department & in the unions - not nearly as many as McCarthy suggested, but they were there and they did harm.

        We see a new McCarthyism among the new anti Russian hysteria.

        One similarity to McCarthy era: people eager to hand power to real fascists to fight imaginary communists
