Back when the U.S was fighting in Vietnam that mentioned a great deal on communists, now in today's times, you pretty much just here about terrorists and their plans for global domination based on their beliefs.
Since people back then checked their newspaper more, they would read headlines like "Communists Take Over Saigon", as you can tell it say communist on it so, you can tell it was a big deal back in the day. Today you read headlines on the net like "The War on Terror", which is pretty catchy but as always, the media makes it seem badder that it really is.
