Anti-communism is opposition to communism. Organized anti-
communism developed in reaction to the rise of communism,
especially after the 1917 October Revolution in Russia and the
beginning of the Cold War in 1947. Since the end of the Cold War in
1991, anti-communism has dropped considerably..But still we
consider communists as potential enemy of democacy . In India the
members of C.P.I. (M.L.) Party who are also called naxalites are
engaged in violent fights with police particularly in the states like
Odisha , Chhatisgarh , Andhra Pradesh , West Bengal ,
Jharakhanda , Bihar , Madhya Pradesh and Maharastra . They are
still active in neighbouring countries like Nepal . So it is wrong to say
that anti-communism has lost it's relevance after the cold
war .Communists are still active in many Latin American states like
Cuba and Venzualla . Since the split of the Communist Parties from
the socialistSecond International to form the Communist Third
International, democratic socialists and social democrats have been
in conflict with Communism, criticising it for its anti-democratic
nature.The Catholic Church has a history of anti-communism .
