One of the most funny things for me are some reports from the 1920s and 30s in which Italian bootleggers and racketeers were labelled as "Sicilian communists" Lol

Also dont forget operation "Hood Winked" from the 1960s in which the feds tried to make a conflict between the Mafia and Communist leaders, by sending threatening letters to both sides.

"Hood Winked" was one of the many FBI counterintellegence operations that was aimed at the Communists party in the U.S.,but not only them,it was laso used fot the Black Panthers, Ku Klux Klan and many other organizations.The point was that if theres a dispute between the Communists and Cosa Nostra, the two organizations would spend their money and energy fighting each other.

One example when N.Y. agents sent a phony letter (allegedly from the Communists) to one unknown Cosa Nostra leader in which they attacked his labor operations of one of his enterprises. Another situation was when the FBI sent a letter to three unknown but reputed mob leaders, purportedly from a communist party member, that organized crime was responsible for the bombings in some party headquariers and threatened that they will chase the organization out of the country.
