It looks like American Communists have split from international groups over problems with Putin... (they seem to have a unique hatred of him - similar to their hatred of Trump)... that's worth noting..
Communism in Russia is their form of government - most Russian Communists are nationalists first - loyal to their OWN country and government. That's normal.
But American Communists are traitors.
It's a big difference... American communists are working against their own country. And it appears they're organized... and could call on the international commies in a pinch. It's a dangerous situation.
Communists are "globalist internationalists." Yes, they hate America. Yes, they spout off about their disdain for Putin, but they love communism.
Actually, with regard to Putin, I think it may be a matter of the Dems accusing the opposition of doing what they are actually doing. Dems have far more in common with Russian Communism than Trump does with Putin.
