Communism was perceived to be a threat to Western ideology and its way of life (I think).

After WWI, why were Americans fearful of communism? - Yahoo! Answers

I'd say probably fear of the unknown and that people in power or with wealth would lose it if the capitalist system was to be removed. Maybe also scared of the working class causing a possible communist revolution.
