To answer Sal's original question, Congress enacted the 1954 Communist Control Act, which stated that the Communist Party is not "entitled to any of the rights, privileges, and immunities attendant upon legal bodies created under the jurisdiction of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; and whatever rights, privileges, and immunities which have heretofore been granted to said party or any subsidiary organization by reason of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, are hereby terminated."

Can anyone on the list point me to instances where a state or the federal government has banned a political party?
