I have never voted in an election here in Ontario where there was not a
wide spectrum of choice, from Libertarian to Communist (generally, in
fact, two communist parties) plus occasional independents.

 
I know there used to be the Communist Party of Canada which was Moscow
leaning and the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) which was
Beijing leaning. I haven't seen either on any ballot I've voted on
since 1991.
 
Plus as you say numerous independents. We had a provincial election
last Saturday and we had 3 parties plus an independent.

Most states have much looser rules for candidates for President then for
the House of Representatives and the Senate. I see for the state of
Washington a long list including at least 3 Marxist candidates (at least
one of those is Trotskyist). None claim to be American Communist Party.
