Fairness in the Crucible?

In reading The Crucible so far, communism is connected directly with witchcraft. People in the Red Scare during the time after WWII act a lot like the people in the time of witch trials. Innocent people are accused, jailed, and killed.

Do you guys think this is fair in terms of The Crucible? Communism?
