Actress gets death threats after coming out.

current U.S. law criminalizes membership in or support of the communist party or communist action organizations


anti-capitalist, pro-communist members and supporters of antifa are running afoul of the this law

tim kane's son, you know, is a proud member of antifa and his dad's buttons pop with pride

hell many members of the dim party could be at risk to be prosecuted under this law if it was pushed

If that's true, how did they get on the ballot as recently as 1984 when they ran Gus Hall and Angela Davis as their Presidential ticket receiving over 36,000 votes?

guess its not enforced

Communist Control Act (68 Stat. 775, 50 U.S.C. 841-844)

here's what Wikipedia says:

"the Supreme Court of the United States has not ruled on the act's constitutionality. Despite that, no administration has tried to enforce it. The provisions of the act "outlawing" the party have not been repealed. Nevertheless, the Communist Party of the USA continues to exist in the 21st century."
