Anti-communism is the belief or movement that opposes communism, a political and economic system where the government controls most of the economy and resources which led to a classless society. People who are anti-communist disagree with these ideas because they believe communism leads to loss of personal freedoms, government control, and economic failure. This idea became prominent during the Cold War when countries like the United States and the Soviet Union were in intense geopolitical conflict over their different political systems.[1][2]
