California may end a decades-old ban on members of the Communist Party working in its government, after the state Assembly approved a bill that would delete references to the party from its employment requirements.
The bill's sponsor, Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Oakland, said that California's laws should focus on individuals' actions and evidence rather than political affiliations and what he termed "empty labels."
Speaking on the floor of the Assembly, Bonta called the legislation a "cleanup bill that removes archaic and outdated references to the Communist Party in our state laws, specifically those stating that a public employee may be dismissed from employment if he or she advocates or is knowingly a member of the Communist Party."
The bill passed in a 41-30 vote, after a debate that touched on the Cold War, the U.S. history of fighting communism — and the potential for future conflicts.

I thought they did already.
They already do......................
HA! As if they don’t already.
Right, they can come out of the closet now!
California Democrats ARE communists.
Ok, so longstanding unwritten prerequisites for public office are Now Legal.
Clarification: I don't mean people who think and act like Commies. I know there are plenty of those. I mean real honest-to-Stalin "card carrying members" of an outfit with historical continuity to the old Comintern.
Yeah, I’m wondering “What changed?”
What’s the difference? A democrat is a communist.
The few unfortunate law abiding. patriotic, legal citizens who haven’t been able to escape the state yet are governed by snowflakes, racists, communists and illegal aliens (or their close relatives.
This’ll be fun to watch. lol
They already do: democrats.
This is just the first step to making allegiance to communism mandatory for state office positions. No sarc...
All this does it make so they no longer have to pretend.
Jim Rob, the whole of the Democrat party has been moving
toward communism for a long time from what I see. I laugh
when I hear the Democrats whine about the GOP moving to
the right. The truth is by definition conservatives stay
put. The Democrats move left and because we don’t move
with them, they accuse us of moving to the right. Thirty
years ago, for example, neither left nor right supported
gay marriage. Who changed?
LOL, talk about closing the barn door!
Communists actively advocate the violent overthrow of the democratically elected government, be it the state or federal government. What could go wrong with California’s inclusivity?
They voted to make honest women of themselves.
