"It might be stupid to be a communist or a socialist, but in the U.S. it's not illegal"

It is illegal for the communist party to be on a ballot for public office.

Note that they are all socialists, worker, progressive, green, or other euphemism parties.

The Communist Party has been on the Ohio ballot ever since I've been voting. A guy named Gus Hall was the candidate many times.
