The communists were brutal oppressors, plus, the USA had this idea that once one country became communist, then the next would and then the next, it's called the domino theory. It worked mostly in SE Asia, but the same was true in Europe as well.

The stated concern was the successful spread of the Communist economic model which threatened the Western Capitalistic economic model. My guess is that just as the concerns remain the same today the government was especially concerned that the Soviet Union might succeed in strangling Western economies buy strangling oil supplies.

They were concerned the rest of Europe would fall to Communism.
