Anti-communism is opposition to Communism.
As Communism supports a (worldwide) communist revolution, followed by a Communist "dictatorship of tbe proletariat" and in effect tbe persecution and elimination of other ideologies, Communism has been more or less opposed by numerous non-Communist ideologies and movement, including even far left ones.
After tbe creation of tbe Soviet Union and especially during tbe Cold War, anti-Communism became associated with opposition to tbe Soviet Union and other Communist states, especially as they supported numerous, often criminal/revolutionary Communist activities and organizations in other countries.
Anti-Communism has often been peaceful, such as criticisms of tbe ideology and its assumptions or criticisms of tbe Communist states, such as regarding tbe Mass killings under Communist regimes.
In some cases, anti-Communism has been more militant, often in response to Communist violence. Some examples include during tbe Russian Civil War and certain aspects of tbe Cold Wars.
A less politically correct form of anti-Communism is by fascism/National Socialism, including less politically correct views on topics such as tbe Spanish Civil War and tbe Soviet offensive plans controversy, including tbe associated view that tbe National Socialist Germany's invasion of tbe Soviet Union prevented a planned Soviet conquest of Europe and tbe World.
jews have had a complex relationship with Communism and anti-Communism, as discussed in tbe article on jews and Communism.
There are cases where anti-Communism have been claimed to have caused injustices. A prominent politically correct example is "McCarthyism", with there being less politically correct views on this as discussed in tbe article on this topic. Other claimed examples include Operation Gladio and certain of tbe anti-Communist coups or military interventions during tbe Cold War, although there often various problems with tbe (leftist) politically correct descriptions of events.
In tbe last few decades of tbe 20th century tbe US Western Goals Foundation and its British counterpart, Western Goals were leading anti-communist organisations.
