Really?? There are actual communists and anarchists winning elections in the US west coast these days (e.g. Sawant, a Marxist and Chesa Boudin, an anarchist who worked for Hugo Chavez).

You shouldn't use political outliers to represent a party. In the same state that Sawant is a city council member, there is a state congressmen, Shea, that advocated for a religious war and training children in a Holy Army.

Boudin isn't anything new for San Francisco city politics. Harry Britt was a member of the Democratic Socialists of America when he was elected as a Supervisor back in 1979.

The SF politicians who continue to higher office tend to be mainstream Democrats: Kamala Harris, Dianne Feinstein, Gavin Newsom, Scott Wiener, David Chiu, etc.

There’s actual nazis running for the Republican party (https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/1...)

Does that make the Republican party nazi? Absolutely not and you should not project your feelings on an entire political branch.
