While in the EU, UK, USA, communist parties are allowed to operate mostly unmolested by the government

The only reason you can legally have a communist party in the U.S., for example, is because this already happened decades ago:

Decades of meddling, coup attemps, dirty money, foreign NGOs, relentless propaganda campaigns, building “occupation museums” to brainwash the young about their past… And when the country is finally beaten into submission

Meddling and coup attempts by who? Ukrainians? Poles? Who the fuck couped the US? Are you high?

Seems like you haven't read what happened with the Black Panther's leadership.

In case you are interested in reading the context behind MarxMadness comment, you can search for the COINTELPRO program, which aimed to "expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize" groups like the Black Panthers.

OMG of course I know what happened to Black Panthers, this doesn't explain why you can't organise two generations later. Read Sakai or Zak Cope.

The FBI did plenty of "meddling," to put it lightly, with American leftist groups. Leaders of these groups were targeted in various ways, including assassination (see Fred Hampton).

The repression coming from inside the house didn't make it any less repressive.
