Sorry but you are out of date. You will find the web site on:

The CPUSA was indeed
not banned, though its leaders did experience harassment on the dates quoted and suffered under Senator McCarthy's hysteria. But in this period it changed its name temporarily to the Communist Political Association under its General Secretary Earl Browder to get around restrictions.
There can never be any comparison in the treatment of CPUSA militants and those who suffered under Sadam Hussein. US Communists were not murdered by the state, life may have been uncomfortable but they were not murdered as in Iraq.
I repeat that the Communist Party of the USA is a legal entity and I suspect its members would be quite surprised to read what you have suggested.
