These professors were accused of being communist sympathizers. This resulted in their dismissal from the University of Washington. One of the biggest reasons why this was a big deal was due to the beginning of the Cold War and the start of the second Red Scare.

After World War II, the US and Soviet Union emerged as global superpower. As communism spread throughout Eastern Europe, US citizens were scared that this system would spread to the US. In order to prevent this from happening, institutions all over the country took action against supposed communists, including firing them from their jobs.

Identify a main difference between socialism and capitialism
maksim [4K]

A major difference between socialism and capitalism resides in how likely meritocracy is to flourish .

Socialism, in its rightest essence, would ensure that every individual within society enjoyed the same opportunities at the core (quality health, food, education). Naturally, some of these subjects would thrive more than others and therefore be promoted by society to hold higher levels of responsability and reward.  

However, the lesser gifted would never be at a disadvantage. They could still count on standard quality support by the same society and equal opportunity for their offspring to pursue their own ambitions.

On the contrary, capitalism creates a societal gap by supporting inherited advantage. In summary, a capitalist society provides better core opportunities for a group of citizens and their offspring regardless of their innate ambitions. The disadvataged group and their offspring then receive a less than standard core support which predisposes them for hardship in the pursue of societal reward.
