America was actively fighting Communism as early as 1919 in the Russian Civil War. The fear of communism does not stem from the Soviet Union, it stems from what communism represents. There was no great event that started the fear of communism, made clear by the fact that in 1919 the Bolsheviks were yet to actually do that many great evils.
American's feared communism for how it could change their lifestyles and Lenin had the ability to bring communism to America with Russia's army.
The two Russian Revolutions in 1917 left the Bolsheviks ('majority') in power in Russia. The end of Russian communism is debatable. The communist ideology was losing favor and losing economically by 1989. The official end of the Communist Party rule was 1991. Many communist-style structures have continued in place long after the end of communism.

Many Americans did "hate" communism because they thought, or believed other who told them, that communism was unAmerican and that communists were only interested in destroying America. They felt threatened and hated the perceived threat. Despite the collapse of communism in most countries, many people retain those feelings. we don't hate them we are simply against the idea of communism, it threatens our power and also is bad for countries because it is dictatorship. you no longer are capable of making decisions on your own
