The Red Scare is back. This new era of McCarthyism depends on loose and selective interpretation and enforcement of existing legal measures with some racial profiling and guilt-by-association mixed in.

People are being accused of being foreign agents based on their political views. Chinese nationals have been chased out of academia. And wild and easily disproved stories about China, often sourced to the State Department or think tanks connected to the U.S. government, proliferate in the capitalist press, priming the US public for a never-ending expansion of the U.S. war machine.

To discuss the new Red Scare and why it’s so dangerous, Rania Khalek was joined by Amanda Yee, a writer and organizer based in Brooklyn, host of the podcast Radio Free Amanda, and author of the piece “Red Scare reloaded: Chinese “foreign agents” and a new era of McCarthyism”, published at Liberation News.

紅色恐慌又回來了。 麥卡錫主義的新時代依賴於對現有法律措施的鬆散和選擇性的解釋和執行，其中還夾雜著一些種族定性和連帶罪責。

人們因政治觀點而被指控為外國代理人。 中國公民被趕出學術界。 而關於中國的瘋狂且容易被反駁的故事，通常來自國務院或與美國政府有聯繫的智囊團，在資本主義媒體中氾濫成災，讓美國公眾對美國戰爭機器永無休止的擴張做好準備。

為了討論新的紅色恐慌及其為何如此危險，拉尼婭·卡勒克 (Rania Khalek) 與布魯克林作家兼組織者阿曼達·伊 (Amanda Yee) 一起討論，阿曼達·伊是布魯克林自由阿曼達電台播客的主持人，也是《解放新聞》發表的文章《紅色恐慌重裝上陣：中國“外國特工”和麥卡錫主義新時代》的作者。
