You can't really determine someone's politics based on them being called before HUAC. McCarthyism was rampant and anything that wasn't mainstream would get you called before HUAC and blacklisted. Copland was not a traitor. He was a victim of a right wing conspiracy.

But when it comes to Shostakovich, my favorite of his symphonies is #5, and I am not sure if it is the music, of the sarcastic approach he took to composing it. After all, it isn't typical Shostakovich but it did end the decade ban on his music.
