I'll be real, I'm not really sure it's appropriate to be asking people if their parties are "working to overthrow the government". A newbie could theoretically come along, start giving out a bunch of specific information about their political party and then go on about how they have bombs stashed in their basements. I'm sure it doesn't take much thinking to see why that would be a problem.
Yeah, if your standard for True Communist Party is them stating they're going to overthrow the government, you're going to find nothing but fools and feds (in the U.S. at least). We want organizations smart enough not to confess to crimes without even being asked.
The best realistic position is something like "end capitalism," "build socialism," or "create a democracy that reflects the will of the people," etc.
