In the 1950s and 60s, Americans were taught to fear communism to the point of paranoia. Advertising was quick to take advantage of that fear. See a collection of such ads at Socyberty. Link-Thanks, RJ Evans!
Yep, nothing like taking advantage of fear. Quite profitable I hear. Of course, to fear it in America (not Russia) at the time was indeed more paranoia than reality.
