That is untrue. In 1953, The Alien Registration Act of 1940 was extended to illgalise membership of the American Communist Party. Undermining one thing and making it illegal are two different things. It is legal to run for public office on a communist platform. I often wondered how people could claim the US is a democracy when it's a criminal offence to run for office on certain platforms.
Communism comes immediatly to mind, but there are others as well.
