Shrecker states that Communist Party members did not appear to be victims, but rather stubborn and impractical idealists. When it comes to McCarthyism and its effects on the future, Schrecker really hits the nail on the head. She claims that McCarthyism has destroyed the lives of thousands of innocent people in the short term, whether they lost their jobs, their careers or even their lives. However, she also states that the effect was not only felt by the communists, but also by everyone who worked in education, especially university professors, who were forced to really control themselves and limiting everything they said to protect themselves from possible persecution. In addition to this, Schrecker believes that McCarthyism had a lasting and serious effect on American politics as a whole. Not only does she believe that this has ruined the liberal side, but that due to the immoral methodology used by all kinds of organizations, it has led to more serious events in the future. She states that when all these organizations resorted to unethical trickery and deception, it seems to be a mistake.
