Yeah these are the RevComs and they've been around since 1975. They recently put out a kind of assertive proclamation about who they are and what their goals are, so maybe that's what the news is going on about. They do this every few years though. Their messaging is always very aggressive agitprop style stuff.
Also the various communist parties hold precisely zero weight in most Americans' political imagination because they're largely unknown compared to the Democrats and Republicans. You'll still here them say things like "the communist party" (singular) and if you ask them to clarify they have no idea who they mean specifically.
