Explanation:

The text mentions that the fear of communism was called the Red Scare, and red was symbolic of the October Revolution and the Soviet Union's flag. This implies the Soviet Union had a communist economic system. Capitalist and free - market systems are different from communism. Capitalism is based on private ownership and profit - making, while a free - market is a part of capitalist economies. The Soviet Union, after the October Revolution (which was a communist revolution), was organized around communist principles where the state had significant control over the means of production, aligning with a communist economic system.
