I think for many is shock and surprise is that anything even remotely “ml” is even allowed. Like something illegal is being allowed in plain sight.

No but seriously it’s an unenforceable junk law that no one has bothered to take the time to repeal that was never even really used in the first place. I mean, the communist party runs candidates for office to this day. Someone finally tried to use it in 1972 to keep a communist candidate off the ballot and a federal district Court promptly ruled it unconstitutional.

Not formally. Talk to a cop while wearing a red bandana and clothing with a red star or hammer and sickle on it.

Its literally illegal to be an anarchist if youre an immigrant, even a citizen.

No shit, to be an anarchist is to go against hierarchies like the police state.
