Looking at Cold War history and present, it seems that Communist parties were only strong in several NATO countries, such as France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, and perhaps a few that I haven't named.
I don't think it's realistic for the USA to have a viable Communist Party, but is there any way to develop electorally significant Communist parties in Canada, Great Britain, West Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Turkey, etc? In addition, in the countries where the Communists were strong, is it possible for Communist parties to ever form a government by themselves or as the head of a coalition?
