No, these are not crimes for all. As a citizen I am free to associate with communist parties. There’s a Communist Party USA that was a top sponsor for the most recent no kings rally. As a noncitizen I may face consequences for such associations.
It's not a crime if you are not a citizen either. If someone is denied a visa renewal, for example, just administrative -- that's not a criminal proceeding. At no point does anyone have less First Amendment protections under the law.
