Wow, so because a considerable minority of the CPUSA leaders and loudmouthes wanted to violently overthrow the US government, all their political overt allies needed to be removed from public jobs, the party was disbanded and all the leaders, even those not advocating for violence had to be put in prison.
Imagine if they successfully stormed the Capitol, they would have been put to death.

And before you try to mirror this argument with what was happening in the USSR: the USSR was not democratic, it was totalitarian, and protecting totalitarism is never morally correct, period.
