Who's to say this couldn't or isn't happening in the USA?

It's always going to be a lunatic fringe element though. It doesn't use subterfuge and camoflage, which is pretty much a requirement in American politics today.

What you're actually worried about are now what we'd call "self styled progressives". Whenever you hear the word progressive, just substitute the word communist and you'll get the gist of it. Progressivism in America is the real threat. They excel in the use of subterfuge and camoflage.

I suspect we have more than a few members on this board.

Communism goes against human nature.

Anything humans do goes with human nature. That's what makes it human nature.

We Communists believe that socialism is the very best replacement for a capitalist system that has served its purpose, but no longer meets the needs and requirements of the great majority of our people.

We believe that socialism USA will be built according to the traditions, history, culture and conditions of the United States. Thus, it will be different from any other socialist society in the world. It will be uniquely American

What will be the goals of our socialist society?

1) A life free of exploitation, insecurity, poverty; an end to unemployment, hunger and homelessness.

2) An end to racism, national oppression, anti-Semitism, all forms of discrimination, prejudice and bigotry. An end to the unequal status of women.

3) Renewal and extension of democracy; an end to the rule of corporate America and private ownership of the wealth of our nation. Creation of a truly humane and rationally planned society that will stimulate the fullest flowering of the human personality, creativity and talent.

Sounds a lot like ... well, you know, one of those "party platform" thingies.

'course not - part of that "rationally planned society" - gotta have a permission slip before you can do the deed.
