Answer:
During the Red Scare, thousands of anarchists and communists were hunted down and arrested.
Explanation:
The term Red Scare denotes two distinct periods of strong anti-communism in the United States: the First Red Scare, from 1917 to 1920, and the Second Red Scare, from 1947 to 1957. The First Red Scare was originated from the Russian Revolution, and was directed against socialist and anarchist workers and political radicalism. The Second Red Scare centered on an intense suspicion about alleged communists spies who influenced society or who infiltrated the United States Government after the end of World War II. In both periods, many Americans were arrested as they were suspected of being communists.

June, 1953, East Germany.
Construction workers in East Berlin began the protests, demanding an increase in work hours and calling for a general strike. The call to strike was broadcast over Radio in the American Sector (RIAS) in West Berlin and heard throughout East Germany. Over a million workers in 700 cities and towns heeded the call to strike on June 17, 1953. The Soviet Union responded swiftly and harshly, declaring a state of emergency and sending in tanks to larger cities where protests were occurring.
October/November, 1956 - Hungary
Protesters took to the streets in Hungary in October, 1956, demanding freedom from Soviet domination and more democratic political processes. Soviet domination and oppression continued relentlessly, as the USSR sent tanks and troops and crushed the Hungarian Uprising. Thousands of Hungarians were killed or wounded and over 200,000 fled the country.
January-August, 1968 - Czechoslovakia
In January, 1968, the new leader in Czechoslovakia, Alexander Dubcek, launched the "Prague Spring" (as it became known). He sought to give communism "a human face," as he termed it, introducing many political and economic reforms. By August, the USSR responded by sending in 600,000 troops, and again those Soviet tanks. The revolution was put down.
These were all precursors of later revolutions. By 1989, the communist bloc countries of Eastern Europe could no longer sustain their governments and the USSR itself was weakening.
