How did fear of the Soviet Union and Communism affect American culture and society?

History
1 answer:
zepelin [54]3 years ago
8 0

Americans developed a widespread fear of Communist infiltration into the American government or of an anarchist or communist revolution that could overthrow the prevailing capitalist order in the United States by imposing a Communist dictatorship, just as in the USSR. This diffuse dread gave way to aggressive investigations and the arrest of people ideologically suspicious or otherwise associated with communist or socialist movements. At that moment, the citizens would become distrustful and afraid of being denounced as a communist sympathizer because that would imply in being persecuted by the government and having their civic guarantees withdrawn.

Out of all of the Enlightenment thinkers, who stood out the most and why? Do you agree with Hobbes' Enlightenment ideas? Support
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Thomas Hobbes, an English philosopher and scientist, was one of the key figures in the political debates of the Enlightenment period. Despite advocating the idea of absolutism of the sovereign, he developed some of the fundamentals of European liberal thought.

Hobbes was the first modern philosopher to articulate a detailed social contract theory that appeared in his 1651 work  Leviathan. In it, Hobbes set out his doctrine of the foundation of states and legitimate governments and creating an objective science of morality.

Hobbes argued that in order to avoid chaos, which he associated with the state of nature, people accede to a social contract and establish a civil society.

One of the most influential tensions in Hobbes’ argument is a relation between the absolute sovereign and the society. According to Hobbes, society is a population beneath a sovereign authority, to whom all individuals in that society cede some rights for the sake of protection. Any power exercised by this authority cannot be resisted because the protector’s sovereign power derives from individuals’ surrendering their own sovereign power for protection.

Hobbes also included a discussion of natural rights in his moral and political philosophy. While he recognized the inalienable rights of the human,  he argued that if humans wished to live peacefully, they had to give up most of their natural rights and create moral obligations, in order to establish political and civil society.
